I think I had my glamourous sweats on when they called. I know I'd been in the pool that day. My memory becomes a little foggy when I'm given an assortment of epic news and the part of my brain which controls remaining calm, nonchalant and unemotional - usually completely...

While news can move fast within the London fashion scene, it appears it moves even faster between the touch screens of the techies (maybe even faster than Azzedine Alaïa arrives on the set of Gossip Girl).

A lot can change in the space of a year, and for me,...

So the fashion world ooed and ahhed over that architectural modernism of wind turbines (or whatever he's calling it) - the new Chanel bag.
