LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

THE WARDROBE | JACKETS
I am grieving the end of summer, this was a summer that really summered; there was heat, there was sweat, there were late nights and sunsets. There was stolen kisses with pretty boys and dresses with spaghetti strings. There was ice cream, lots of ice cream, the air was humid and we wore sunglasses whilst…

THE SUMMER TRAVEL WARDROBE

Before the arrival of Enninful, British Vogue was stuck in some kind of Sloanite rot that hardly…

TOPSHOP- IT SIMPLY NEVER GREW UP.
“Meet me outside old Topshop” is going to be the thing going forward, which in itself will signify the gaping hole the high street giant will leave in its demise. We didn’t even have to specify the location because we knew which Topshop location became such a cult for meet ups. I am an Oxford…

QUICK! BURN THE BRAS
Growing up, I remember being impatient to wear a bra, it was the ultimate coming of age moment, the last frontier following being allowed to read mills and boons way too early and thongs… please do not get me started on that. Now, so late in life, I cannot understand the hypnosis I must have…
