Forget everything you know about denim because it’s time to rip up the rule book and get creative. At the SS15 catwalk shows designers experimented with new and inventive ways to wear denim. We’re talking patchwork, creative embellishments, modern silhouettes, as well as a flashback to the 70s with the return of the flare. However you decide to wear t[...]

Forget about fashion. Red, sophisticated yet brazen, eternal symbol of love and power, is always de rigueur for those very special occasions. Everyone has a power dress. The one dress you go to for all those challenging moments when you feel you need some armour. Mine - and I would wager many women's - is red. A scarlet red, short-sleeved sheath with a f[...]

Somebody call the fuzz. It’s not just faux fur coats that are big news this autumn/winter as luxurious touch-me textures feel their way into the accessory arena too.

Since she was scouted aged sixteen, Alexa Chung has become one of our favourite style icons. She has won the British Style Award an incredible four times and even has a Mulberry bag named after her- that's what you call fashion credentials.
