Just a teeny tiny blog post this time as I wanted to share something with you that i heard yesterday…
A talented intern working for a large sportswear brand has just completed her fashion studies. As part of her final project she has decided to present a womens wear accessory concept […]
T’was an exciting week in the land of Colab and the ongoing book research.
A much-needed brush up on production procedures and methods was essential for chapter 8 of the book, so with a specific vendor in mind, the flights were booked and hotels reserved.
Now, I’m not going to go on […]
Not so strange to see a pop up collaboration between Colette and Chanel – but who in their right mind would agree to have their expensive classic Chanel quilted bag defaced by artist Kevin Lyons? Nothing against Kevin, but seriously, doodling on Chanel?
All under the heading of The Weirdness that […]
I wish I could spend all day, everyday, tracking the fashion shows at the recent fashion weeks but alas a book needs writing, a blog updating and a new consultancy project needs to commence. I do, however need to know what is hot and hip for the next season as […]

I was sincerely spoilt last September when I was privy to not just one, but two fashion shows at New York Fashion week.
Whilst it’s not true that i stormed the stage with my superb Paris Hilton impression, it is true that I was overcome with emotion.
23 years I’ve worked in […]
Am supremely excited about the upcoming documentary of Bill Cunningham, highlighted by The Telegraph today.
Cunningham, 81, has documented street fashion in NYC for the past 50 years navigating through those famed streets on a rusty bike with a trusty Nikon.
