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…
What was the best clue to one of the key trends for SS17 at Victoria Beckham’s show on Sunday? Was it the models or was it the pop-star-turned-serious-designer herself as she took her bow? Actually, it was the latter. The woman whose career has been notable for ultra-minis, wiggle dresses and skinny pants appeared in…
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…
Hip Hop-to-fashion entrepreneur Damon Dash has come up with what should eventually be a much cooler version of QVC and Home Shopping Network with the launch of his own online lifestyle TV channel.
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…
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.
Who cares about the movies on show when you can ogle celebs on the red carpet? Well, some of us do actually but it has to be said that the Cannes Film Festival has always been as much of a celeb photo opportunity as a celebration of either high art or popular culture.
The latest gorgeous, pouting face of a beauty brand is… David Beckham. Yep, striking a blow for older models, the 41-year-old is teaming up with L’Oréal’s Biotherm brand. But this is no attempt to target older consumers. In fact, millennials are the consumers in Biotherm’s sights.
The Met Gala red carpet last night showed just how big this event has become. For a start, the build-up was almost Oscars-style in its intensity. But whereas the Oscars are fairly staid these days and other red carpet events (like those for the music industry) are frequently festivals of bad taste, this one treads a line…
My niece got married on April 2 (to tattoo artist extraordinaire Jack Pearce) and her dress really reminded me of how far wedding dresses have come in the past few decades. And of how much more strongly they relate to eveningwear than the white satin crinolines of old… Thank goodness.
