Today was a good day for the fashion savvy man. In pursuit of the London Collections that happened yesterday, a host of genius displays took centre stage today, with many a wearable outfit on show.
Although not my specialty point (this is something I hope to change in 2013) menswear...

I recently read via an online source that it has become increasingly important for big time brands to fill their front rows with well-dressed, famous faces in a bid to drive publicity, social networking figures and sales. This news came as no surprise, as a fashion week without a celebrity...

Living in London (with busy streets and even busier schedules) it is hard to remember the pleasures of a secluded country village. As I right this I am sat by a log fire (yes, in MAY) in a local pub in Cuckfield, West Sussex: a small village just off of...

Every season without fail there is an 'it' something. Be it a handbag, a pair of shoes, a colour, a print or a cut, the fashion industry sifts through the season's offerings and proclaims one item (or style) that will trample the rest and earn a prestigious 'it' recommendation.

As a training fashion journalist, I cannot decide if being a student in today's economic climate is a good or a bad thing. From a selfish point of view university has, for the last 3 years, protected me from the outside world; at present I have no idea how difficult...

I've always been a summer girl myself. There is something free and quite romantic about donning a summer dress, espadrille wedges (preferably of the Prada type) and a straw hat and letting the heady summer days run away with you. Autumn always hits like a brick wall; the days begin...

I need not tell you the British economy is suffering; as I write this the fashion boutique I'm working in is hauntingly quiet and the road outside painstakingly empty. Infact I can count on one hand the number of customers I've had come through the door this morning- one being...
