I absolutely love this video of Karl Lagerfeld interviewing himself for the launch of his capsule line Karl for luxury website Net-a-Porter. Very clever and very funny- well worth a watch! Click ‘Read More’ below to check out the video.
The collection looks fabulous as well, I’ve got my eye on so many pieces. It has quite a glam-rock dominatrix feel to it with the use of PVC, faux leather and biker-inspired styles - great for wearing on a night out! Read more

Marni has released images of its winter 2012 collection and I love the eclectic, 1930’s inspired styling. Bold splashes of bright, neon colour and futuristic eyewear contrast with vintage-esque prints, pull-up socks and fur stoles. Read more

Louise Gray, SS12
Two of the most exciting womenswear designers at the moment – Louise Gray and Mary Katrantzou – have been awarded Fashion Forward sponsorship by the British Fashion Council (BFC) for two consecutive seasons in London.
I first saw Louise Gray quite a few seasons ago at London Fashion Week, showcasing with OnOff. I absolutely love her work - her AW11 was fun, fresh and colourful. Her designs are so exciting and I can’t wait to see more of her. Read my Louise Gray AW11 catwalk report and backstage beauty HERE. Read more
It seems to be the year of fashion exhibitions; I visited The Fashion & Textile Museum, London, last week to review ‘From Catwalk to Cover – A Front Row Seat’ (read my post HERE.)
I also revealed images and details of the much anticipated Louis Vuitton exhibition at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris, which is due to open in March (and I’ll be visiting in June) – check out my post HERE.
But to add to the list, The Design Museum, London, is launching an exhibition showcasing the work and career of iconic French shoe designer Christian Louboutin and The Denver Art Museum, Colorado, is hosting the internationally acclaimed exhibition ‘Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective’…phew!

Selfridges has launched a library in its flagship London store, curated by four major publishers: Penguin, Thames & Hudson, Faber and Taschen.

I think its such a fantastic idea and I can’t wait to pop down for a browse. Read more
