Margaret Howell SS10 Men’s Paris Presentation
In the sweltering Paris heat, iconic British brand Margaret Howell showcased her spring summer 2010 menswear collection in the newly opened Paris store.
Renowned for clothes based on classic British traditions with a modern contemporary feel, this season didn’t disappoint with silhouettes of oversized shirts and fine sea island cotton knits styled with rolled up trousers in fabrications of cotton silk and Fox flannel giving an overall relaxed feel to the collection.
The colour palette offered shades of blue from indigo and chambray to softer shades of pistachio and cream. In addition to the SS10 collection an exhibition of Margaret Howell’s personal selection of campaign photographs from the 1980’s to current day was on display. Working with photographers such as Bruce Weber, Koto Bolofo and Venetia Scott the images clearly highlighted how the brand maintains its heritage and references archive pieces in its current collections.

Graduate Fashion Week 2009
The nation’s celebration of brand new fashion talent began yesterday with a buzz as graduate shows from Universities across the country took to the catwalk.
Although a smaller graduating class, Edinburgh’s design students put on a fantastic show with contributors drawing creative inspiration from a wide variety of sources including exotic folk culture and musical genres.
Despite this it was Northumbria University who were the highlight of the day. (Blog Ed: Slight bias detected perhaps?) The students provided a stunning display of artistic and technically precise craftsmanship, wowing spectators with dramatic tailoring and hand beaded and woven masterpieces.
The standard was definitely set for the shows to come throughout the week and the judges on the River Island awards panel were sure to have a tough decision on their hands!

Paul & Joe Beauté Breathless launch and GO CARTING!
On Thursday, Paul & Joe Beauté took over The Raceway in Greenwich for a fun, (and ever-so-slightly-competitive!) adrenalin fuelled afternoon of Go-Cart racing with the beauty press.
It was also an opportunity for Craig Ryan French from Paul & Joe Beauté to present their Autumn Sparkles collection, Breathless.
Great racing fun was had by all, with WGSN’s Alice Leeburn burning off the competition and winning the title of Paul & Joe Beauté grand prix champion!
