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!

The Summer Short.....

Want to WIN these alexa chung for ag jeans denim shorts I am wearing this week?  Just leave a comment below or Instagram or retweet the blog via Twitter to enter, deadline Saturday ...Good Luck!








TIP... the bermuda short is a new style for summer keep it simple and wear it in a minimal way; loose t-shirt and leather jacket, this style is great for those who want to hide their thighs but does look better on those people with a longer leg so add a heel if not

Tailoring.....

Tailoring is going to be huge again this winter so get ahead this week and you can WIN the one am wearing in the blog.  Just leave a comment below or Instagram or retweet the blog via Twitter to enter, deadline Saturday 20th June...Good Luck!







TIP...what you wear underneath is your choice, everything goes, but for me the top tip is about buying an actual menswear suit as the cut is sharper and more flattering, just get a smaller size or get it altered after, suiting is a classic so this will be worth spending the extra to make sure it fits well
