Obama Dares to Bare

20th January 2009, the day of President Obama’s inauguration. A day of history, a day of prestige, a day foregrounded by snap-shots of Obama holidaying in Hawaii…in his bathing trunks. Seeing someone famous minus most of their clothes always seems to spark media attention, and having a good gawp at toned Barack’s bod has only … Read more

Hot Water Shirts

At the moment my daily dreams are about those spring/summer days when you can just walk outside in a t-shirt with bare arms and not feel the chill…hubba hubba. But sadly reality strikes: the ground outside is thick with snow and I live in a flat in Scotland that doesn’t have central heating. Instead of … Read more

There was a time not so long ago when Wellington boots were only associated with country farmers and marmalade (or should that now be marmite?) muncher Paddington Bear. Oh, how times have changed. The Wellington has escaped the farm and is ready to be pulled up the calves of catwalk models, even more so this … Read more

Once upon a t-shirt, in the land of Bob…

Ever heard of Bob Boutique? It may not have the natural charisma and charm of some of our favourite Bob’s – it might not be as cheeky as Bob Hoskins, be able to fix it quite like Bob the Builder, or have the Live Aid organisational skills of Bob Geldof, but it is certainly ‘cute … Read more

Notes from Paris Trois: Got the T-shirt?

So here it is, the third and final instalment of notes from Paris. This one may be slightly inventive (I didn’t actually see anyone in the French capital wearing one of these) but oh it’s a good one. After flap hats and masculine roll necks it’s time for a t-shirt. You know that awful phrase: … Read more

Merry Christmas!

Notes from Paris Deux: Rollers that don’t curl your hair

Along with a string of onions, the male in the roll neck sweater has ‘Je suis French’ written all over it. The festive season, like the Parisian man’s sweater, is all about the roll. Sausage rolls, rolls of wrapping paper, paper hats with bad jokes rolled up inside crackers, and then there’s the festive Yule … Read more

Notes from Paris Un: Hats and all that Flap

Being a dedicated style seeker, I decided it was in your best interests for me to take a trip to the style capital of the world: Paris. Now, when going on a solely fashion research trip it is necessary to make sure you spend lots of time sipping French cocktails, walking along the River Seine … Read more
