I never quite understood why people buy celebrity ranges but they do and despite celeb labels and collaborations getting a bad reputation after some of the cheap junk turned out in decades past, consumers will pay some hefty sums for a slice of the celeb pie these days.
The Golden Globes may have had a hint of controversy (the next president of the US responding like a kid in the playground over some thinly veiled criticism of him by Meryl Streep) but in general they went like most awards ceremonies do. That means lots of great gowns, the occasional mis-step, plenty of strapless,…
Glossy magazine editors are, for the most part, a scary lot. I don’t know if they start out that way, but the pressure, the power and the way to wall Prada does tend to turn them into a breed apart.
Coach has confirmed Selena Gomez as its new brand ambassador and said that yes, the link-up will include “a special design project with Coach executive creative director Stuart Vevers.” So far, so unsurprising. The news about the partnership was widely leaked last week so I’m certainly not telling you anything you don’t already know. But…
Some press releases drive me mad and this one really did it for me today. No, it didn’t contain words like “I’m thrilled to be…” or “we’re so excited”, the kind of pointless puff that send me instantly to the delete button. Instead, because the Marc Jacobs Beauty brand likes to spell its name in lower…
Forbes released its 2016 list of the 20 highest-earning models yesterday. Maybe it was because I happened to be researching a piece of multicultural beauty at the time but the thing that struck me first (well, after “Gisele? Really?” and “how shallow are we to care about this stuff?”) was that most of them are…
Topshop has released more of its AW16 campaign images featuring Taylor Hill. What we get isn them is a casual, urban approach and a series of heavily on-trend pieces (embellished biker, floral slip dress, subverted sports, faux snakeskin bag, a must-have leopard faux fur three-quarter-length coat, mini-length skirts/dresses).
I never used to be a great fan of Stuart Weitzman ad campaigns. Loved the shoes (and boots) yet the campaigns always seemed a little, well, cheesy, especially the Gisele series. But I think I was probably out of step (pun intended) with the rest of the shoe-buying world because the brand has undeniably been a storming success…
Burberry has launched a new ad campaign. Tell me something new I hear you say. Well this is something new actually because the luxury brand is hitting a new trail by combining Mario Testino portraits of its star models alongside matching model and still-life illustrations by interior designer-turned-Next Big Thing British artist Edward Hall.
It always irritates me when fashion writers use the word ‘futuristic’ about some new style statement. It usually means it’s either a) silver, b) a jumpsuit with a zip or c) something that looks vaguely like a retro sci-fi character would have worn.
