One great thing about the winter is that you can fill your wardrobe with cosy jumpers. This winter cuddle up in chunky fabrics and comfortable knits.  Bold colours and Christmas designs are huge this season.

Ralph Lauren

The man, the vision, the style.

For all those who love fashion design and want to read something inspirational, then you must read this book about the American fashion designer.

This is not your ordinary story that portrays a happy picture about success. This is a more harsh reality of how to break into the fashion industry.

The author of the book Colin McDowell was given unprecedented access to Ralph, his family and his colleagues. With access to behind the scenes, Colin was able to ask Ralph the more personal and private questions about his upbringing, lifestyle, disappointments, triumphs, and hardships.

The interesting this for me to learn about the designer was that he had no design training, nor did he grow up with the passion of becoming a designer.  This book really shows what hard work, optimism and passion can do. This book tells us about the life of a Jewish boy who grew up in the Bronx and enjoyed wearing unique clothes so he can stand out from the crowd. It goes to show us how a simple idea about a tie and a great business mind can do.

This man has changed the face of American fashion and he still remains one of the best designers of all time.

Karl Lagerfeld Paris

Karl Lagerfeld Paris is the Premium ready-to-wear collection for both men and women by Karl.

The creative genius is striking again. This time Karl has designed the premium line Karl Lagerfeld Paris. This line was launched this Autumn/ Winter.  We can expect the finest fabrics and finishing’s by Karl.

So far the new collection from the line bridges a gap between women’s wear and men’s wear. This is a three tiered collection of luxurious and playful separates with major detailing as usual.

What’s About Town

With the latest trend in jewellery being large cocktail rings, there was one on line site that I could think of that would have the most fabulous pieces at the most reasonable prices.

What’s About Town is an online jewellery website, catering to both men and woman. Since trading in 2003, there business has grown from strength to strength.

They have the most interesting and unique jewellery pieces. This is one of the main reasons why their jewellery has been worn by the likes of Paris Hilton, Cheryl Cole, Kim Kardashian and more.

I must recommend their rings as a must buy. Literally they have ring designs they you may be unable to find elsewhere. Not only do they cater to the obsessive jewellery fans, but they also sell other accessories.

Here are some of my favourite designs from their collection.

Halston’s back

By hearing Halston’s back, many fans must be excited. I know I am!!!! As he’s one of my all-time favourite designers, I know that this is good news for the fashion house. It’s been many years since we’ve seen the brand being reformed back to its original self. Halston Heritage is being taken back to its 70’s super-luxe, super-chic roots. With new investors and a new design duo we can now relax knowing that the house is in safe hands. Since this big change many celebrities have been seen wearing the Halston brand, bringing it back into the lime light that it clearly deserves.

So what do you guys think of this change for Halston Heritage? Will they reform the brand back to its original roots?
