Rag and Bone Fall/Winter 2012
I was delighted Kate Moss recently featured in Rag and Bones 2012 campaign. For an American company branching out to the UK, using Kate was a clever and obvious choice. Ye got to love Kate Moss.. she’s a total keeper, Jamie Hince knows that. The Queen of British fashion and the epitome of cool. These little moments were captured in kentish town North London by Craig McDean. It’s all very natural and relaxed with minimal make up and kate Moss looking chilled and happy in pretty much her own sense of style. This is so similar to how she dresses in everyday life, such a perfect match. Craig did an excellent job at catching her off guard, which is surely not easy when you’re photographing one of the Worlds biggest super models.
I’m pretty sure I know this Road, as I used to work in a primary school nearby. There’s definitely a good energy in this area, the carnival feel of Camden town seeping through. There’s also a real sense of community and fashion, with an abundance of vintage stores and busy markets. I love this area, it’s got a real edge.
Nice one Craig McDean, Rag and Bone and Ms Moss X

Vivienne Westwood A/W 2012-13
There’s something about the collection that makes me feel on edge or as the French say énervé, perhaps its the fear that something truly ugly could happen. Its an artistic story with a challenging aesthetic. Yes, the painfully skinny model looks like a bit of a mental case, but she looks like she has an interesting story to tell. This woman looks like she’s lived a little, she’s not a 14 year old model plucked from Alabama. I think this is the point right!? We are questioning beauty here! Of course they could of used a beautiful, bronzed, generic looking hotty, but how boring is that? It wouldn’t be Westwood. It wouldn’t suit the pieces or push the boundaries and it would just be like every other campaign.
I like the androgynous pinstripe suit, the brown brogues and the granny cardigans. I want that green bag! I adore anything check/Tartan, I’ve always loved Tartans celtic ways, how it looks and feels. There’s something sturdy, reliable and solid about it, yet it makes me feel all reminiscent of my punk days. Overall, the collection is old skool (it is inspired by a 17th century artist), its kitch.. old cushions & carpets and burnt orange? I’m really not a fan of that musty colour everywhere, but in fairness it’s truly Westwood, look at her hair for god’s sake. The woman herself is fabulous, she speaks out and stands up for what she believes in. Westwood is revolutionary and I honestly believe that nobody can wear Westwood like she can, but I’d definitely like to give it a go.
Versace Rocks!
I know it’s summer time but it’s pouring down from the heavens here in Gloucestershire. I’m tucked away filming for the next week, in the most beautiful country farm house. We have our own chef and driver on set, which is really nice… I could definitely get used to this!
Due to the wet weather, here’s some winter wear inspiration for you from the black and white Versace AW2012 campaign. Its dark, edgy and Gothic. I particularly love the Byzantine crosses on that coat in the 3rd shot down.

Annie Hall -Style Inspiration
I saw Woody Allen’s cult classic ‘Annie Hall’ a while back, at the BFI London. I really loved this film, just as much as I knew I would. Annie Hall played by Diane Keating is one seriously stylish lady. In the 70′s this look was new and exciting, costume designer Ruth Morley wasn’t a fan. However, Allen insisted that Diane wear her own clothes! stating “leave her, She’s a genius. Let her wear what she wants.” Keating has such a classic sense of style, she dresses in a masculine way yet she looks so chic and sexy. I adore this mix of masculine and feminine. I particularly loved the fedora/bowler hats, the tweed, the waistcoats, the wide legged chinos, the masculine shirts, the studious glasses and the androgynous ‘grammy’ tie.
I often find myself drawn to mens clothes and I remember it being one of the perks of having a boyfriend! I guess the whole boyfriend blazer/jeans thing is a testament to this. I recently found some of my dad’s old waistcoats, that I love. I always make sure to check the mens section in Primark/Pennies.. along with all the usual vintage shops and markets.. I have found a few gems there! If your a bit behind (like myself!) and you haven’t seen this film, I strongly advise you do. Its fabulously quirky and worth watching for style inspiration alone! Ax

Sienna Miller: British Vogue Cover
How lovely is it to see Sienna Miller smiling brightly on the cover of British Vogue..? lts a rather cute girl next door shot, which is a nice contrast to some of the more heated, raunchy covers. I really love the inside shot below, which is far more interesting than the cover.. Although I think the cover is a perfect cover shot for spring. She looks like a perky wee daffodil in that Stella Mc Carthy dress.. blooming gorgeous! She is preggers AND in love, which might explain that beamy glow. I’ve always liked Ms Miller.. She just comes across as a rather down to earth, sound gal and not a complete pouty pain in the arse. I really like her diverse sense of style and she always looks amazing..
I don’t know how she does it…
the wagon!
