Christian Louboutin at FashionBiteIt 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 launches library in flagship London store

Selfridges launches in store library, FashionBiteSelfridges has launched a library in its flagship London store, curated by four major publishers: Penguin, Thames & Hudson, Faber and Taschen. The idea behind it is to celebrate the “inspirational power of words and literature,” at a time when standards in reading, grammar and spelling are falling and also encourage people to switch off their phones/laptops and re-discover the power of reading! I think its such a fantastic idea and I can’t wait to pop down for a browse. Read more

Valentine’s Day Love Notes – I could be persuaded…!

Valentine's Day Love Notes, Thomas Lyte, FashionBiteI have to say, I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day – being forced to show someone you love them with over-priced chocolates and cards (along with the rest of the country). To be honest, it’s the same reason I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Eve…it just feels too forced.  Read more

FILM PREVIEW – FashionBite Review’s The Debt (due to be released on DVD Jan 23rd)

The Debt film review, FashionBite

GUEST REPORTER: Nathaniel Collins

When the film execs of Hollywood get their hands on a low budget but otherwise successful foreign film, the result can range from the fantastic (The Departed), to the confused (The Ring) to the outrageously blasphemous (too many to list but Arthur rings a recent and unfortunate bell).

The Debt, which tells the tale of three Mossad agents forced to revisit an uncomfortable past, is a remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same title that for the most part delivers or at least doesn’t leave the purists angry. Read more
