Evelina Bratell, homebaked is best
Evelina Bratell is my woman of the momento. I simply can’t believe her cookery book Hembakat är Bäst (homebaked is best) from Ikea. So little has been said about her and so much about the photographer Carl Kleiner; there’s no doubt that he’s very good, but in this project she is clearly the star.
Evelina Bratell is the stylist that positioned all of the ingredients in such an amazing way, ...

Is creative fashion photography a thing of the...
The Observer featured an interesting debate last Sunday between fashion designer, Katharine Hamnett and Lorraine Candy, editor-in-chief of Elle on the topic “Is creative fashion photography dead?”
There certainly seems to be a shift in the direction of realism, with photographers such the excellent Luciano Insua leading the charge here in Spain and people like Terry Richardson on an...

McFancy menu!
On this windy wednesday, which after the holiday yesterday feels like a Monday, the only thing that I fancy eating is a McFancy Meal, created by Amy Moss and photographed by Marija Ivkovic.
I’ll have a D&G spring water followed by a Burberry burger with Hermès or Gucci Fries, and for desert a cool Paul Smith sundae.
Bon appétit!

Ombré Hair
What do Alexa Chung, Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore and Rachel Bilson have in common? It something that our mothers probably won’t understand…
The hairdresser is going to be a lot cheaper this winter, because Ombré Hair, also known as Californian highlights, are in fashion. What are they? Well, it is really just as simple as letting your highlights grow out so that the...

Isabel Marant Red Shoes
When Isabel Marant speaks, we listen. So, this winter we will be wearing this seasons “Red Shoe”.
Of course, the original was created by Ms Marant but many others have joined the cause and, as always, the usual suspects have cloned it… So no excuses about how you can’t afford them!

Clogs for winter
I find myself in a dilemma; brogues, moccasins or clogs? Obviously, in the end I will choose all three. I have a passion for the laces on the brogues, adoration of the moccasins and a deep love for Holland and the pure fashion of the clogs .
I think I have spent too long trying to organise a trip to see my friends in Holland, to ride a bike, buy clothes in the markets, eat a club sandwich in...

Sweaters and long skirts for winter
Autumn has arrived. I can tell because there are litres of water falling from the sky above Barcelona. I think the time has come to bit a little less brazen and show slightly less leg. It wouldn’t do us any harm to use a little more fabric.
Actually, I feel a bit bad for the men, because this winter there won’t be many parts of the womans body visible available for...
Fixed bikes
Although Barcelona isn’t really a bike friendly city, because of it’s numerous mountainous slopes, this form of transport is definitely in fashion.
More and more people are signing up to the two wheels, regardless of the fact that they will have to take several showers a day. But, let us make this clear, those retro styles and BMX from when we were young are no longer the hottest...

Hugo Boss to Copy the High Street
Hugo Boss has announced that it is going to follow the lead of high street brands, such as Zara and H&M, and cut the time it takes to get its collections into the shops, the FT reported yesterday.
The expensive German fashion retailer plans to increase its number of stores from 450 to 700 by 2015, allowing expansion into fast growing markets such as China. In order to reduce brand...

The Season’s key trend: E-Commerce
As a regular reader of the fashion business press I have noticed that there seem to be two topics that recieve coverage day after day, ahead of all others.
The first is profits – the successes and failures of brands, normally related to growth of falls in sales. This is unsurprising in any business related press, especially in these uncertain economic times where everyone is trying to guess what...

Roberto Piqueras in Nylon Magazine, Mexico
We love this editorial from Nylon Magazine, Mexico styled, and featuring clothing by Spanish designer, Roberto Piqueras.
The shoot took place in Mexico city a couple of months ago whilst the designer was in country making arrangements for the production of his remarkable new collection, which is due to be presented in Madrid in September.

Vans, Taka Hayashi and Pendleton
If we were to put Vans, Taka Hayashi and Pendleton in a blender and give them a little burst at full power, the resulting mixture would be a delightful recipe of SK8-Hi and Slip-on.
This season Vans Syndicate has prepared us a nice little surprise, combining the work of the Japanese artist with the renowned US fabric and apparel brand, famous for their Geronimo style Native American designs.

A Geographical Shift in the World of Fashion
There can be no doubt that, since the international financial crisis began in 2008, things have changed. The global fashion industry has been particularly effected by the new economic reality with far reaching changes taking place that few would have predicted just a couple of years ago.
It seems that these changes have yielded yet another unexpected result. The Global Language Monitor...

These are a few of my favourite things...
My sister just called me from the beach and here I am, right in the middle of August, sitting in the office. What did I do to deserve this?
Luckily for me, down in the street below the office there is a magnificent kiosk that stocks all of the magazines that I love and adore. It’s not normally so easy to find them - some are monthly, others biannual and yet others just aren’t easily...

Baby-G, The Comeback
I don’t know what it is about Casio that I love so much. And today I am not referring to the vintage model that we all have that makes us feel so cool. This time since we are right in the middle of summer and everything is colourful, I want to that other Casio classic, the Baby-G (or G-Shock for the boys).
Baby-G
A couple of days ago I rediscovered my Baby-G in a drawer full of junk and...

The Summer of the Espadrilles
Why do they have to change the season in the middle of August? The thing is, ladies and gentlemen, I want to buy a bikini and not one of those fur coats that Chanel will make so fashionable this winter.
In an attack of rebelliousness I have decided that I am going to stick with the summer trends. It’s 27ºC here in Barcelona – snow is the last thing on my mind.
In seasons gone by Victoria...
