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 – [...]

[Read More]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.

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 [...]

Twiggy has criticised designers for continuing to use real fur at London Fashion Week.
The model, who fronts Marks and Spencer’s advertising campaigns, said she was disappointed in designers that persisted in using fur from animals kept in ‘terrible and inhumane conditions’.
