Couture Colouring In!

In conjunction with a new exhibition in Beijing, Chanel has launched a new microsite called Culture Chanel  . As well as a bit of info about the exhibition, it seem as though the main interesting thing on the site is the kids’ section which lets your colour in your own Chanel clothing and accessories. Yay!

You can also play a Chanel-themed memory game, which I’m not ashamed to say I aced.

What an ideal way to introduce your toddler to the joys of a 2.55 eh ?

Whats new pussy cat?

Karl Kosmetics

Mr Lagerfeld is getting his leather glove cladded hands involved in another product range, by teaming up with Sephora Frances leading cosmetics & beauty store ( Owned by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), the world's leading luxury goods group) to create a range of cosmetics which will include nail varnishes,eye shadows and... snow globes!? I'm excited for this range to launch on Nov 6th two of my favorite things in life Karl and cosmetics, I think this news calls for a trip to Paris in time for the November 6th launch! 

J'adore...

As winter is fast approaching I decided it was time to start adding some knitted delights to my wardrobe, I've just ordered these french fancies from ASOS they are so cute I can't wait to parade around Manchester dreaming i'm in Paris really

Hillary Alexander

Hillary is one of the most highly regarded fashion journalists in the country, working for the past 26 years as Fashion Director for The Telegraph. She is about to embark on the next phase of her career, which will see her continuing to freelance for the Telegraph as well as working extensively with Graduate Fashion Week, studying archaeology at Cambridge and launching Fashion Music TV, a multimedia initiative featuring interviews with the many designers she's encountered over the years . Here are some of my personal highlights from her interview with GQ magazine on Personal Style...

I'd like to kill off the low-slung jeans trend. I'm so tired of seeing bum cracks. 

Johnny Depp always dresses well. He could turn up for a dinner at Buckingham palace wearing cowboy boots and he would carry it off. He would absolutely charm her majesty - he'd probably speak fluent French to her

The perception of Karl Lagerfeld is perhaps that he is pretentious and that he worries about his appearance too much. What they don't realise is the depth of knowledge that he has, how long he's been doing this and how successful [he's been]. His command of languages is absolutely superb - he can switch from German to Spanish to English to Italian to French and can do soundbites in each: bang, bang, bang - like  Roger Federer returning serves. He's got a fantastic sense of humour and he's extremely knowledgeable about art, music and literature. He's just sponsored this new translation of Goethe - I can still remember trying to read Faust in English when I was 19 and giving up.


What do Vivienne Westwood and I chat about? Books. Sex. Archeology. Everything, really. Because we're of a similar age and I've been involved with her career from the very early days - even when London Fashion Week was showing down in some mad old exhibition site way down in West Kensington. I remember once waiting for a show to start - I rushed backstage to see what was happening and there were seamstresses with Singer sewing machines still finishing the garments. I admire her.


Online menswear has naturally been slower to take off than women. Simply because the idea of men shopping has been a slow burn. Now men are much more aware of the power of fashion. [Net-a-porter founder] Natalie Massenet's idea of setting up Mr Porter is a masterstroke. There are a lot of guys out there with a lot of money who haven't got the time to go browsing through a menswear department looking for a suit. If they already own the brand and know that in Helmut Lang they are 44 regular, they can log on at 3am in the morning and buy an amazing suit


My Fashion Week survival tip? White wine and Marlboro Lights. Plus a BlackBerry, an iPad and plenty of chargers

Movember

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Here are a selection of my favorite tashe-tastic men!
