House of Hackney | The Perfect Wingback

My pursuit for the perfect wingback chair has taken me around the web and back. After months of searching I began to think that perhaps my standards are too high, that I am on an impossible quest for a wingback that doesn't exist...

Valentino Spring 2014 Couture

Valentino's Spring 2014 Couture show has to be one of my favourites of the season. A mix of ethereal ballgowns, delicate lace sheaths, tulle ballerina swan dresses and bold jungle themed motifs, each garment was a masterpiece in its own right. Inspired by the opera, Valentino's creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli created a wonderfully inspiring collection with pieces that every women would feel like a star in.

My Ode to Kit Willow

This is my ode to Kit Willow, fashion pioneer, former creative director, designer and founder of the Willow label.

In November 2013, Ms Willow was coldly dismissed from the label she launched a decade ago. In September 2011, Apparel Group, which also own Sportscraft and Saba, acquired a majority shareholding in the Willow business and appointed Ms Willow creative director. Now, several years later, the company abruptly terminated Ms Willow's employment as creative director at Willow.
