According to the fashion bible, thou shall not wear socks and sandals. I remember my French teacher in school wearing the classic socks and sandals combo and looking particularly tragic – but recently there has been a shift in what was once a big fashion no-no…

One of my favourite British Models, Daisy Lowe, is due to debut her first fashion collection. The enviable beauty will bring her unique sense of style to the masses by teaming up with French high street brand Morgan…

The animal print trend refuses to die, and why should it? Designers love it, as do the A-list, and while head to toe animal print is a big no no – celebs like Leighton Meester know that a flash of animal print will go a long way, making an otherwise boring outfit look fresh and edgy…

First, Heidi Klum takes to the Victoria Secrets runway over the weekend, looking amazing a mere month after giving birth to baby daughter, Lou. Then the winter issue of id magazine is released – showing not one, not two but three naked former supermodels on the front cover. It’s as if the 1990s are back…

Amanda Wakeley, launched their new Estore yesterday with, no doubt, a plethora of virtual shoppers queueing up to get in!

Amanda Wakeley had lost her company in 1998 when, after her divorce, she was forced to sell the business. Since then the Amanda Wakeley label has endured countless different owners, with Wakeley staying on board as Creative Director.

It has recently been reported that UK supermodel Agyness Deyn will be hanging up her heels and taking the leap into film. Rumours have been circulating that – New York based – Deyn will appear in a short film directed by Peter McGough…

Blame YSL and their caged heels. They sparked the penchant for what my friends and I like to call “S&M” chic; you’ve probably seen them all over the high street – “hooker” heels, which are at least 6 inches, platformed and covered in anything from studded straps to leopard print.

So what was the next logical fashion forward step???

Shirley Manson and Elijah Wood are the slightly odd pairing of Oliver People’s 2010 Eyewear campaign. Not necessarily the conventional way to go but convention is boring. The resulting photos show that this pair totally work together…

Award winning British designer Giles Deacon showed his collection on the pret-a-porter stage today as Paris Fashion Week came to a close. Having been awarded the prestigious French ANDAM prize in June, Deacon had to forsake London Fashion Week for a trip to Paris and over 100,000 euro!
