This weekend I picked up the latest issue of “A Magazine”. “A Magazine” is a fashion magazine that has an interesting way of developing each issue, they have a guest curator each time that basically shares whatever they want with the readers (it’s full name is “A magazine curated by…”). Past curators include Yohji Yamamoto, [...]

For Christmas, I was lucky enough to be given a copy of “Prada & Schiaparelli : Impossible Conversations”, the catalogue/book of the exhibition that was held from May until August 2012 at the MET in New York. I obviously didn’t get to go to the exhibition (sniff sniff…), so it’s hard to say if it [...]

If you’re into fashion you may have seen on the internet a recent list of the top “100 Fashion Icons”  by Time Magazine, covering almost all aspects of the fashion world. I quite enjoy lists like this, to see how much I agree with what they think and just to go crazy when I don’t. [...]

Hey you all! I wanted to do a post about the fashion shows going on at the moment, but the Paris Fashion Week hasn’t finished yet and I wouldn’t have much to go on – though I can already say I love the Givenchy collection! As well as looking at the photos over on Style.Com, [...]

Hello there! So, how on earth are you supposed to take any good photos in winter when it starts getting dark at around 4.40 pm? Hum?! And don’t even get me started about fiddling about with photoshop…. Anyway! I was putting away some magazines when I thought I’d talk about them and stuff (hey, we’re [...]

Howdy there! I have been sewing a bit but not enough to show you guys anything! It’s funny, summer’s ending here and all I want to do is make hats with some sinamay… Anyway, I thought I’d point out this hat book I picked up in Berlin! The full title is “Design Museum – Fifty [...]

While in Berlin I went to a great exhibition called ‘Visions & Fashion’ held at the Kunstbibliothek in the Kulturforum. It’s ending October 10th, so if you’re in Berlin and you’ve got 8€  to spare go check it out! I love fashion, and I think what I love most about it is that it’s not [...]

One of my very kind twitter followers recently sent me a message, wondering if  I would be interested in a hat book she found in her stuff, and obviously I was! The original book is called “How to Make and Trim Your Own Hats” by Vee Powell, published in the USA in 1944. I did [...]

I’m a 24 year old girl , I should be blogging about clothes and guys (that’ll be my next post…), but instead I’m going to talk about an article I saw in the economy pages of the newspaper (‘Le Monde’, 22 February) about Bohin, the sewing needle manufacturer…yes, I’m THAT cool! Bohin is a a [...]

So remember I blogged about a new Stephen Jones book that had come out recently? Well, I didn’t get it for christmas so I bought it the other day! I haven’t had time to read all of it yet but I’ve obviously flicked through a fair amount. It’s just gorgeous! It’s a book that goes [...]
