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!

TIP...my favourite new way to wear a tux is turn it back to front, its super flattering in black and this is the easy way to dress up for all those christmas parties especially if you are going straight from work just remove the shirt and turn your blazer around belt at the waist for shape or leave loose add a metallic heel
