why i do what I do.....

I am now Fashion Director at Glamour magazine but following on from the success of my weekly column in the Sunday Times Style magazine I thought I would bring this page to life every week and also give you the chance to comment. This page is not for me to dictate what you should be wearing but to offer ideas on how to put wearable outfits together. Its not what you wear it's how you wear it!

New York Fashion Week, Day 5

Today's Highlights

Today Proenza Schouler became my favourite show so far the simplicity of the shapes and mixing of fabrics and textures I don't really love a tribal trend but if you are going to do that this is how you would want it to look




Hair at Philosophy...white seems to be a running theme today


The look is white today big this winter and next summer too get involved






The Front Row...Katie Holmes at Michael Kors

New York Fashion Week, Day 3

Today I have decided to mix up my fabrics and textures the silk against the sheepskin bag and patent quilted trainers all work really well together as long as the colour tones stay the same. This fashion week you can WIN the trainers and bag from UGG Australia just RT the blog or leave a comment below




TIP...play with shades of black by mixing up textures like sheepskin and patent as seen on these accessories and wear with a graphic style top to add more detail and play with neutral colour blocking

Trousers by helmut lang

New York Fashion Week, Day 2



TIP...strong shapes and folds work really well on top and look for high necks which are very flattering and give the effect of a longer neck, contrast with a simple pair of wide leg trousers in navy that are not too baggy to slightly show off the Nike trainers

TIP...mix your tones of black together and add a statement shoe to the outfit for a tonal twist and a leather rucksack gives this a more lux feel to sportswear
