Unhealthy models campaign targets fashion industry
Posted by Lucky on Mar 6, 2010
Magazines and ads that use emaciated models have long been cited as an exacerbating factor linked to the rise in eating disorders in recent years.

The new cool in Milan fashion
Posted by Lucky on Mar 2, 2010
Milan fashion has always been about overt sexiness. Tight, bright and sparkly. But all that has changed, says Jess Cartner-Morley
Milan fashion week used to be so simple. It did sexy. Molto sexy. Revealing, attention-seeking frocks of the it-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin, hormone-charging variety. Some seasons it was sexy-boho, sometimes it was fierce-sexy, sometimes it was Lolita-sexy, but – [...]

Donatella Versace made a brilliant decision when she put Versus in Christopher Kane’s capable hands
Donatella Versace was in a good mood before the Versus presentation. I know this because I had the privilege of a preview — sometimes it helps to be on the early flight. There she was, a big grin on her face, [...]
London Fashion Week: Must it take a fire alarm to warm the ice queens’ hearts?
Posted by Lucky on Feb 26, 2010
Pity the bread waiters at London Fashion Week. I’ve seen disdain and I’ve seen hatred, but never so pungent a fusion of the two being beamed, en masse, at one man and his basket.
Fashion Week, generally, is a pretty Arctic affair. In The September Issue, American Vogue editor Anna Wintour states with touching conviction: “People [...]
Trudy’s dedicates fashion show to real women with Real Curves
Posted by Lucky on Feb 26, 2010
Not every bride is a “perfect 10.” In fact, sizes 14 and 16 are the two most common sizes ordered, according to designers at Enzoani, one of the country’s leading bridal manufacturers. Even in California, where women are seemingly obsessed with squeezing into their skinny jeans, plus sizes in bridal are ordered daily. And that’s [...]

Burberry first to broadcast 3D show at London’s Fashion Week
Posted by Lucky on Feb 26, 2010
Thunder clapped and rain poured down inside the huge marquee. The label might be 154 years old, but is so much at the forefront of catwalk technological innovation the brand can even control the weather.
Well, not quite. The rain was a filmed projection beamed on to screens inside the tent. But the label was the [...]
London Fashion Week | Burberry’s Christopher Bailey
Posted by Lucky on Feb 26, 2010
For the second season running, Burberry showed its Prorsum collection at the end of London fashion week.

[Read More]Vintage Fashion promises more glamour than Glastonbury
Posted by Lucky on Feb 26, 2010
The celebrated English fashion designer Wayne Hemingway knows who won’t be interested in his new summer festival: the teenager “who’s out on the lash, who wants to escape their parents and get plastered and leaves a load of empty tins at their ripped tent”.
Instead it will be for people who want style and glamour, those [...]
Olympics fashion from good to goofy
Posted by Lucky on Feb 26, 2010
The Vancouver Olympics have not been for the fashion faint of heart.
From Russian ice dancers tricked out — to high controversy — as Australian aborigines, to tight-panted Canadian snowboarders (that’s harsh, dude), culture and fashion have clashed as badly as athletes and clowns. Oh wait — there were German pairs skaters actually dressed as clowns.
But [...]
