Being fired is in fashion?

-
I cannot believe that one of the breaking news headlines in the fashion world is that the currently fired, racist and lets face it one drink from an alcoholic John Galliano was even given the time of day for rumours of a Topshop collaboration to surface. I heard the rumour a few days ago and was relieved to hear that Phillip Green had personally contacted Vogue UK to set straight that although Galliano had made a good design play by designing Kate Moss' wedding dress, not discussions were held about his come back in fashion being for Topshop.

And why should it be? I understand that Galliano is a credit to the fashion world. Being the designer for Dior for many years and creating lovely pieces,his foot print in fashion will always be around. But as soon as anybody takes for granted their fame and fortune by being offensive and racist surely they loose the right to any more respect, no matter how good their work?

Why not keep and calm and collected persona, or keep of the radar all together. Look at Vera Wang, she creates some of the most beautiful and iconic garments in the world, she is sought after by every celeb bride or ball gown needing red carpet star. What does she do? She keeps her head down, makes friends with her clients, smiles politely at the paps when shes spotted and focuses on creating her dresses. 

That surely is the sign of a true designer?

If Galliano is more interested in voicing his opinion with drunken slurs then maybe fashion is better off without him?



I love Kate Moss and her style but this is just not enough.

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
