Runway Report: Dolce & Gabbana Autumn Winter 2013

Dolce & Gabbana visit the Vatican this season with Roman Catholic influences in their printed fabrics and beaded detailing. In rich tones of gold, dark orange flecks, blood red and black in lace, silk and heavily embellished fabrics, the colour palette strengthened this (let me say it) religious inspired collection.

Accessorised with gold bejewelled crowns and heavy cross necklaces, this collection screamed modern Roman Catholic interpretation. In true Dolce & Gabbana style, the shapes were figure hugging and still had their classic sexy confidence signature.

The collection showed work-wear tailoring to evening dresses, in what looked like very comfortable, wearable everyday fashion.

Runway Report: Mary Katrantzou

Print extraordinaire Mary Katrantzou has done it again. Launching her Autumn Winter 2013 collection at London Fashion Week this week, prints were galore as per usual from the designer. 

Known for her clever use of prints, photographs and objects through her fabrication, this season sees her visit Asia. The oriental prints are very on trend with many designers showing oriental shapes on the runway. 

In a softer palette of greys, silvers, pinks, greens and blues, it takes our imagination to a snowy Japan this Winter.

Celebrate Valentine's Day with a little love in pictures

I'm actually not a huge fan of Valentine's Day purely because it's so commercial however what I do love on Valentine's Day is the expression of love around the world. With everyone so loved up, for one day a year, the world is a much prettier place. If only everyone would look at each day with the same love shared on Valentine's Day. So for the love around the world, here's some of my favourite images to share the love.
