Official Sponsor of London Fashion Week

By Rochelle Symons in London Fashion Week, News on Thursday 20th January, 2011

It’s just short of a month before London Fashion Week kicks off again, and we can hardly contain our excitement!

One of the fashion capitals of the world, London, along with Paris, Milan, and New York, form the ‘Big 4’ and all eyes will be on our runways come February 18. The great thing about fashion week is that upcoming innovative designers are able to showcase their collections alongside some of the world’s biggest names, and we’ve already marked down our ‘not-to-miss’ picks!

Kicking things off bright and early, Paul Costelloe’s ‘tailoring with a twist’ is bound to set the week off in good stead. We’re expecting the unexpected from Christopher Kane, and his attention to detail made him one of our favourites from last year. Location is key for Erdem, and we’re wondering how he’ll top last year’s staircase catwalk! Swedish label Acne will again bring more minimalist chic to the table, whilst Louise Gray and Craig Lawrence proudly fly the flag for upcoming British talent.

As always, the shows from Burberry Prorsum, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, PPQ, and Julien Macdonald will be the trademarks of the week, and there’s no doubt that everyone will be these clambering for these hot tickets! For the guys, the Christopher Shannon, James Long, and Tim Soar shows should be on the top of your list.

We’re proud to announce our continued support for London Fashion Week as an Official Sponsor, and we’ve got a whole host of things planned to welcome in the Autumn/Winter 2011 collections! Be sure to watch this space as we’ll soon be launching our dedicated LFW blog, packed full with the latest and greatest street style, celeb spots and hot fashion week gossip!

The Best of the Golden Globes!

By Rochelle Symons in News on Tuesday 18th January, 2011

Glitz and glamour took over Hollywood on Sunday night, as the annual road to the Oscars kicked off for another year with the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in LA. And we’re doubly excited as the Globes mark the official start to red carpet season!

It’s almost a requirement that anyone walking the red carpet has to pull out all the stops, and the A-list certainly didn’t fail to disappoint! It was a night of dramatic full-length dresses, bold vibrant colours, and heavy textured fabrics that had us captivated from the get go!

Here are our top three outfits from the night…

Anne Hathaway

Anne adds a dazzling pink edge to traditional glamour with this backless Armani Prive number. The big structured shoulders and long sleeves coupled with the all over sparkle make this a definite showstopper.

Emma Stone

Emma Stone walked the red carpet in understated elegance with this minimal Calvin Klein floor length dress. The neutral colour really accentuated the dress’ simplicity, and our F&F Ponte Dress is the perfect piece to adopt this effortless style.

Angelina Jolie

We’re practically green with envy with how great this sweeping Atalier Versace gown looks on Angelina Jolie. The overall look of the dress is more grown up and sophisticated, whilst the long sleeves and backless detail keep it right on trend.
