So the Rodarte for Target lookbook has leaked and – via Fashionologie – here are my picks of the best.

I know there’s a lot of white space but one has only so much time to make one’s basic collages, and mine is limited. What do I love about Rodarte? I kind of love the Tavi [...]

Well no, I don’t quite know – but at least now we know what can lie beneath her designs when they’re on you, in the form of her underwear line for H&M. I know I could probably have come up with something a little more clever to explain the links there, but I’m jetlagged and [...]

Jimmy Choo and H&M – again

Is it just me or is this Jimmy Choo-H&M mashup getting a lot of airtime? (No time for linkage as am on a deadline and getting utterly distracted by random everythings.) Anyway, here’s a video of Choo founder Tamara Mellon showcasing their H&M collection. I kind of feel like I’m over it already; I’ve seen [...]

The good, the bad and the Mossy

So Kate Moss’s Christmas 2009 collection for Topshop launched today online and instore – and what’s the deal? The first collection was launched to much fanfare, talk of it selling out; Kate’s collection was, quite literally, the next big thing, and would see us all looking and dressing like the venerable Ms Moss.
Well things don’t [...]

It’s a bit early for Christmas talk, innit?

Well it would be, wouldn’t it, seeing as Halloween hasn’t even been and gone? I, for one, would happily sacrifice Halloween for Christmas, and have Grafton St lit up from the tail end of August, but I know people don’t like that (although I don’t see why, for the life of me). Anyway, there’s a [...]

I can’t keep on waiting for you. . . (a reminder)

Well, I can, I guess, but I can’t help fear that when Jimmy Choo’s collection for H&M rolls around, it will all have been a load of hype and it either won’t deliver or it will be sold out by the time I get there. . .
It looks pretty good, right? I mean, partywear, surely, [...]

No man is a rock, but Ireland is an isolated island

When it comes to designer collaborations, that is. Though I considered journeying to Belfast to obtain a pair of Pierre Hardy shoes (pictured left) when he collaborated with Gap, I have principles. (Yes, it has been noted that said principles don’t extend to boycotting Primark or American Apparel, but I’m getting there.) No, my principle [...]

I’ve already gushed about Christopher Kane for Topshop here – now it’s time for Jimmy Choo for H&M to take centre stage. Or, at least it will be on November 14th (which, incidentally, is just six days before the release of the next film in the Twilight saga, New Moon).
Check it out at Young, Fat and Fabulous – [...]
