Editorial Flashback: Puffy Takes Paris For US Vogue

Editorial Loving, Fashion

The other day I was a very un-intellectual conversation with one of my good friends about Sean Combs aka P Diddy aka Puff Daddy aka Puffy, yep the guy who has more name changes than Prince, about remembering how before Kanye West he was the hip-hop guy that fashion loved to hate, or in my friend and I's case - just love, love, love!!! You see we were kind of more obsessed with his swagger, his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, come on I don't think J-Lo would have worn that incredible tropical printed Versace gown if she hadn't been with him, oh and I can't forget how much I loved his ...

Editorial Flashback: A Merry Fairy Christmas From Vogue Korea

Editorial Loving, Fashion

For the latest editorial flashback I have gone for a Christmas theme, well it did seem appropriate for the time of year, and I absolutely adored this 'Merry Fairy Christmas' fashion spread that appeared in Vogue Korea's December 2012 issue.

There have been a few that stick in my mind - like the incredible cover she did for ELLE UK in 2009, the Interview cover looking like Elizabeth Taylor in 2006 and who can forget her Playboy cover in 2012. But one of the editorials that really stands out for ...

Editorial Flashback: Remembering Steve McQueen

Editorial Loving, Fashion

When we talk about male Hollywood legends surely at the top of everyone's list is the incredible Steve McQueen - not only for his rugged good looks but also his long list of amazing films. My favourite is hard to choose, I love The Great Escape, The Towering Inferno and the original The Thomas Crown Affair - but I think if I had to watch one right now I think it would have to be Bullitt. This gritty crime drama has it all - a great backdrop in the city of San Francisco, 60's fashion, and one beauty of a car - the Ford Mustang. It was because of my love of his films that when I came across ...
