Breaking News

I just found that the Mayor London, BORIS JOHNSON is going to be the cover boy of the next ELLE uk magazine!!

The method to Elle's madness: it's in order to celebrate this years 25th anniversary of London fashion week.

Talking about the cover Boris said : "Lorraine (Candy the editor-in-chief) took what for many might seem a huge risk. Who would have expected me to grace an Elle cover - or any other fashion magazine? The capital leads the world in producing innovative designers, so I'm thrilled to have been involved in this special issue celebrating 25 years of British Fashion Week"

This is defintely great press for Elle magazine as I'm sure they all realise who would expect a wild haired "eccentric" politician on the cover of a fashion magazine and I'm sure Boris now thinks he's "down" with the fashion kids!

Also in this issue you'll find Lily Allen, Pete Doherty and Vivenne Westwood. Boris is also the third person after Lorraine Candy and Donatella Versace to write the editor's letter.

The issue is out tomorrow.

Circle of Fashion

Anyone will tell you that fashion works in cycles. Highly respected designers take a trend from the 60s, 70s or currently 80s and rework the trend in their vision. For Autumn/Winter 09 there's an explosion of studs and glitter and sequins, rock and roll with a glamorous twist. But this of course has already been done. Whilst looking through my sister's old Elle magazines, I came across a spread about trends of a/w 07. Its similar to trends of this year, but today we've taken the whole 'rock and roll' trend further with the addition of glitter and sequins and putting studs on everything within our reach. I just though I'd share with you what we were wearing two years ago, after all it does hurt anyone to have a look back at the past. Give it a few years and you might be considered a trend setter for wearing the hottest 'new' piece first.

PS I remember that Burberry Prorsum dress in right hand corner of the second page, I coveted it badly, and I still want it!

PPS. I wouldn't say no to the Pink studied Giles handbag (even though pink isn't really a colour I wear much of I'll make an exception) and I love the white Richard Nicoll playsuit in the left hand corner in the middle of the page.
