Celeb versus fashion

Thu, Apr 04, 2013

No fashion brand these days is without a celebrity collaboration. Not that this kind of endorsement is needed for the high street brands, but between guest designers, or just famous faces of campaigns, celebrity engagement with the fashion industry is at its peak.

The denim dilemma

Thu, Mar 28, 2013

No wardrobe should be without a good pair of jeans. Whether you prefer a skinny, a wide leg, or a boyfriend cut, jeans are a great staple, especially for the summer (if we ever get one).

It is chic and effortless, and most importantly, classic. Jeans are not always driven by trends, it is about fit and comfort in whatever style works for you. I have talked about denim before, but this time, it is about creating great outfits for the sun, or the rain.
