Hamish Bowles Auditioned For
The X Factor USA
Hamish Bowles has auditioned for The X-Factor USA and it was Anna Wintour who signed him up. To the occasion Bowles wore a Thierry Mugler suit, a Philip Treacy top hat and Christian Louboutin gold crystal shoes. Under the guidance of Liza Minnelli he picked the song, “Oops! … I Did It Again” by Britney Spears.
Of receiving Wintour’s assignment, Bowles has said: “I had to read the e-mail from the editor in chief several times to be quite sure. There, buried like a time bomb in a bouquet, was this chilling sentence: ‘I have signed you up to compete in The X Factor.'”

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Choose Your Own Technicolour Dreamcoat
Fight off the blues, or the ‘mean reds’ as Holly Golightly so elegantly puts it, with winter coats so vibrantly exuberant you may just need to unpack your shades.
Forget the monochromatic tones; a perfectly tailored coat in a splash of decedent, rich colour can become your luxe wardrobe staple. Across the Fall collections, from Proenza Schouler, The Row and Céline, amongst others, colourful coats made for an elegant, vibrant and expected twist on sharp tailoring.
Whatever your style and body shape, there is a colourful coat to suit your individual Winter needs. Nipped in at the waist in a classic feminine silhouette, prominent at The Row and Yves Saint Laurent; boxy, boardroom chic at Dolce and Gabbana; or streamlined, sexy sophistication at Céline – fall into warm, delightful, investment pieces of luxury this season…
What do you think of a colourful coat for Fall? xx

Fashion Editorial
Brighton Rock
My weekend inspiration came in the form of the Vogue US September Editorial, featuring Natalia Vodianova and actor Sam Riley. Captured by Mert & Marcus and styled by Grace Coddington, the editorial highlights a mod inspired wardrobe with pieces by Versace, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and more.
This editorial also has holds extra meaning for me as I positively adore Brighton! I lived in Brighton for four months last year and have wonderful memories of spending time on the pier, relaxing on the pebbly beach and walking along the promenade. Coincidentally last weekend, I also watched ‘Brighton Rock’ (an adaption of Graham Greene’s novel) which stars Sam Riley set in the seaside town in 1964.
More about Mod Dressing
‘Mod is about chrome polish, about presenting the sharpest, shiniest you (whatever misdemeanours you’ve secretly been committing). Mod clothes typically have a deceiving decorous, grown-up air. Skirts fall near the knee; arms are covered; sack silhouettes conceal waistline curves.’ – Vogue US
Love this editorial! Love Brighton! Love mod squad chic!
