Emma Watson, everyone’s favourite feminist, is having her credentials questioned right now and it’s basically because she has boobs (although there is also the minor issue of her showing them on a magazine cover). HOW VERY DARE SHE.
While the world wraps its head around the concept that women are fully entitled to do what they will with their own bodies and still have a valid opinion on women’s rights, we’ll be over here, reminiscing about the times Emma …read more

Cast your mind back to 2002 and, chances are, the predominant image that will pop into your mind is the UGG boot, otherwise known as the shoe version of a hangover.
It was a boot that gloried in being ugly, that left us all walking on the ankles, went soggy the second it rained and never recovered, but was so comfortable, we forgave it all those sins and determinedly carried on wearing them anyway (sometimes with mini skirts, which made absolutely no …read more

Forgive me, fashion gods, for the hubris I’m about to commit, but it’s time we faced up to the facts: this summer saw some absolute fashion clangers. Working as I did for a fashion search engine throughout this troubling time, I saw the worst of it, gaining an invaluable insight into the stats for the most searched for, shopped and talked about trends. I was on the fashion frontline and it wasn’t always pretty. For every structured pastel sundress sought, there was a neon string bikini …read more

Summer is over. It’s time for LFW, I’m wearing tights for the first time in three months and while there are still those out there who will determinedly plough on on their morning commute in bare legs and sandals, their foolhardiness is undercut by the oversized hoodie they’re wearing, drawstrings off their hoods pulled so tight around their faces, there’s only a grim set mouth and hardened brow visible. So today I’m here to talk about autumn trends, because like it or not, …read more

Let’s skip the basics of putting your trousers on one leg at a time, shall we, and get down to the important bit. Namely, what you’d do best to deck yourself out in this season.
Navigating the post London Collections: Men (LC:M) waters can be tricky fare if you’re not careful and fully prepped. Get it wrong and you could find yourself accessorizing with a crate as a face guard (seven months later and I still don’t get the logic behind that one). Or …read more
It seems like only yesterday that I was discussing statement footwear with you. But of course, that was all the way back in April and we were talking about thespring/summer boot; now it’s September and the autumn/winter boot, which are two very different things, obviously.
Luckily, very little h …read more

The waist: belt it; define it; nip it; parade it; hide it under a shift or disguise it with an emperor line. It can symbolise femininity, fertility and sexuality; it can bear the signs of ageing, comment on our gene pool or belie our Weight Watchers promise. Essentially, it can come down to you either got it or you ain’t. Which means that fashion’s focus shifting to this, most evocative body part, will likely cause equal amounts of despair and delight, but rarely …read more

Summer is drawing to a close and so we are once again left considering the styles we will be wearing in the coming season. But this morning, it is not my own wardrobe I am contemplating, but that of men everywhere. For amidst all the hoohah of LC:M, colour blocking and berets as the hat of the season, one crucial item was left of the agenda, potentially leaving men everywhere hopelessly gauche, and it was up to one brave young man to single-handedly set rights to right and put …read more
