Fashion Watch: From Britain’s Next Top Model to Paris Couture.
6th July 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Fashion Watch sat down eagerly last night, bowl of popcorn in hand, to watch the first Britain’s Next Top Model hosted by supermodel Elle Macpherson. FW has always loved a bit of BNTM, but never as much as its American counterpart with the fabulous Tyra. This may have had something to do with the lovely but nevertheless not-in-Tyras-league Lisa Snowdon, who as host didn’t have as much gravitas as the...

Fashion Watch: Royal honours, shopping news and more.
15th June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Some weeks, Fashion Watch has seemingly nothing to talk about. Vainly sitting in front of the computer, waiting for a juicy morsel of fashionable gossip to pop up, and yet nothing does. But some weeks (thank God!) Fashion Watch gets quite excited or least a little bit warm inside, at the news on offer. This week we have commendations for the woman behind the legendary Choo shoe, and some sartorial...

Fashion Watch: SATC, McQueen & World Cup Fever
3rd June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Yes it was last Friday, but Fashion Watch spent the bank holiday doing absolutely nothing of note and so couldn’t break trend and put together a report on the Sex and the City 2 premiere at a reasonable time, so it is happening now. Some of the reviews are frankly awful – a mass film critic consciousness to be as humanly bitchy as possible, but as I have yet to...

Fashion Watch: The Supermodel Rises Again.

Fashion Watch loves models. Who wouldn’t? They simultaneously make us feel sick with envy and yet marvel in wonderment at such physical beauty. But the fashion world has a fickle relationship with the elite of the model crop, one time basking in the glory of the ‘Supers’: Cindy Crawford et al, and then swinging wildly in favour of androgynous, instantly forgetful ‘alien’ girls who all looked identical and whose names...

The Costume Institute Gala: Fashion from the Met Ball 2010.
4th May 2010 | 1 comments | 2 people like this
The stakes are always high for the fashion equivalent of the Oscars. If your name’s on the list then you must be ‘somebody’ in fashion terms, and we expect a lot from our ‘somebodies’. This year the Costume Institute Gala (or the Met Ball) was working around the theme ‘American Women: Fashioning a National Identity’ and was hosted by Vogue grand dame Anna Wintour and all-round American royalty Oprah Winfrey....

Fashion Watch: Coachella, Choos & Fashionable Films.

What with volcanic ash and election debate frenzy, Fashion Watch has struggled to find worthwhile information to report. We could do yet another run-down of what the political wives are wearing, but there has been very few surprises to report there either, with Mrs Brown sticking to her dresses/cardigan combos, Mrs Cameron veering from yummy-mummy to be to slacks-and-stockings Sloane and Mrs Clegg, well, we never see her so I...

Fashion Watch: Discount shopping, online shopping and shoe shopping.

We all love a bank holiday weekend, and it seems that the major cities have charged out en masse into the countryside for obligatory visits to grandma and spells in country manor spas. But if your patience nor your budget stretches that far, head out instead to Bicester Village in Oxfordshire. Not only is it a Mecca of designer bargains (think Hindmarch, McQueen, Choo, Dior and more) but for the...

Fashion Watch: Trend Interpretation.
25th March 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Fashion Watch naturally loves fashion. The designers are inspiring, the models envy-inducing and the clothes beautiful. This season has been a bounty of fantastic looks to choose from, so much so that I don’t know what to covet the most! Think back to last September: do you want to do the underwear as outerwear trend as seen at Antonio Berardi, Dior and Dolce and Gabbana? Or how about luxe sport,...

Fashion Watch: sales, style and sartorial know-how.
16th March 2010 | 3 comments | 1 person likes this
Fashion Watch is a fan of French Connection’s new advertising style and some of the pieces from the new collection. It is also fond of French fashion doyenne Nicole Farhi, and so is saddened by the news that French Connection, hit by recession losses, has cut loose the Farhi line and also shutting down a number of its US branches in order to refresh the ailing finances of the high-street...

Fashion Watch: D&G, Versus, Giles Deacon models & Topshop beauty.

Fashion Watch has only just recovered from the fashion week madness, and although Paris has barely begun, it feels so much more civilised now (perhaps because of the inevitable French insouciance? Or perhaps because the end is in sight?) and my brain has now de-fuzzed enough to focus on some more diverse fashion-related news and views from recent days.
I somewhat wimped out of doing a show report for Milan, choosing...
