The People and Environment Awards (PEA) take place this Wednesday in London, celebrating individuals who have demonstrated the importance of sustainability and who are already making a difference ahead of government and big business. Across the 12 categories, four finalists come from the fashion sector and are heralded...

I met Audrey Hepburn on Day Three of London Fashion Week at a fashion party in Somerset House. As we all know Audrey is a style icon, so what could be a better way to inspire the next couple of days of Oxfam London Fashion Week challenge?

Oxfam, the Mecca of all charity shops, asked me to take part in their London Fashion Week Challenge which is to wear at least one piece from their vintage collection to the shows. I've always had a penchant for vintage clothing and a good charity shop find, much...

The largest off-schedule event at London Fashion Week this year was The Good Fashion Show, a public event dedicated to eco-fashion. As an advocate for sustainable fashion, part of the excitement in this sector of the fashion business is that in recent years 'eco' and 'ethical' hasn't had...

I'm sitting in a hotel lobby near Hyde Park. Jeff Garner, the creative mind behind luxury designer label Prophetik, arrives in his trademark jodhpurs, riding boots and granddad shirt. Think of the Southern gent, Ashley Wilkes from the...

Corrie Nielsen's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection entitled Arbiter Elegantiarum is heavily inspired by Wildean Victoriana where she cleverly melds English tailoring with modernist Japanese aesthetics. Luxury fabrics such as silk and taffetta find a home in a neutral palette. But how...

The 'X' on the back of this jacket sent chills up my spine and from the far end of the carriage, I weaved through the morning commuters to get to this man so I could snap his photo. Such determination to take a picture...

Horrible, foul London rain. Today would be the perfect day to wear a waterproof number from Christopher Raeburn's capsule collection for Victorinox entitled REMADE IN SWITZERLAND. I personally like the orange "kagoul" (that's rain jacket to our North American friends and family).
