...with a rather sombre high-fashion dip.




The SS11 campaign features fashion's "it" clan Anja Rubik, Liya Kebede, Jon Kortajarena and Noah Mills.

Gisele for Balenciaga SS11 Campaign: That Wig!

Currently enduring the long and painful process of growing out my hair to attempt long lustrous Gisele locks, I was at first in shock when I saw Gisele's new gig with Balenciaga. 

If the one woman who works those locks best chops them off, why should I bother?



















Ok hang on... it's a wig. Bedhead hair here I come!

Versace SS11 Campaign Face: January Jones

SS11 ad campaigns are kicking off to a great start!
January Jones bares all for Versace's SS11 campaign for the fashion house to place more focus on its handbag collection, which features a great deal of Versace's signature Greek fret motif.

"I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde", says Donetella of the 32-year-old Man Men star on WWD , "and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the 21st century. She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too.”

Madame Versace, I can't agree more.

Merry Christmas!

A little sidetracked from fashion and design, relating more generically to our (or my) Christmas lists that are becoming longer and longer every passing year.

Have you watched Family Guy's Christmas episode yet? If not, watch it! Here's a short prelude:

Christmas list item #1: Meet Mr. MacFarlane.

Merry Christmas everyone!
