Made in the Now
Take current news, add an online community to vote the most interesting news article, create a one-of-a-kind t-shirt, sell said t-shirt for 24hours online and mix. The result? The latest brainchild from JM:Labs, Made in the Now (MITN). This fantastic concept creates a new limited edition t-shirt every 24 hours with the design inspired by [...]
Anti-what?
Over the last few weeks, you may have seen a poster, scored a lollipop and stickers, or had your photo taken for a promotion about “Antipodium”… So what is it? Antipodium is an international fashion label that is part of the new ‘Sportsgirls Like’ designer collaboration. Geoffrey J. Finch is the designer behind the label. [...]
Botox – or ‘boytox’ – on the rise in males
According to leading studies, and my own personal experiences, women aren’t the only ones benefiting from botox. Since launching in the UK nearly 15 years ago, botox has become the fastest growing treatment in the cosmetic industry. Now the secret is out that men can have lines erased on their lunch break, the numbers are [...]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I’m finding it fascinating the trend towards the change in beauty, especially in the fashion world.

Typically we associate mainstream fashion with beauty (“OMG, that dress is gorgeous”), in the eye [...]

When fashion & technology collide: Burberry’s Beijing Show
I’m not someone who you would say is “top of the fashion pack” but it goes without saying that I’m mildly interested in the “catwalk show experience”. I like them and when I’m invited to attend, I go, but I don’t often go out of my way to track them down or view them online. [...]
#epicwinning with ASOS Facebook competition
I won, I won, I won!!!! Can you tell that I’m super excited? It’s because I’ve won $300 worth of ASOS gear for free! In the words of one wise Charlie Sheen I think that makes me a “#biwinner”. “#epicwinning” indeed! After I ‘liked’ ASOS on Facebook - one of the largest online fashion retailers which [...]
A campaign to die for: Illamasqua’s ‘Toxic Nature’ colour collection, Autumn 2011
As a make-up lover (yes, make-up is another addiction of mine!), I am often disappointed by the majority of advertising campaigns the high-end make-up brands deliver into the market space every year. They’re often the same drab looking old ads: a model – or in some cases, a celebrity – perfectly manicured within an inch [...]
