The Biggest Debate

You can’t have failed to notice the fashion and celebrity world has been alight with Big Apple-flavoured flames for the last week.

Charley and Sam in wonderland?

What’s your regular Tuesday night like? Sweating it out in the gym in your dad’s old t-shirt (actually, gym? Who am I kidding?)? Heading home to attack the laundry and scale the mountain of ironing?

Im in the FROW don’t you know – NYFW

If, like me, you are in fashion, it is a day of mixed emotions – wonder, excitement, fear, delight, worry, longing and sheer unadulterated terror. No, it is not something as light-hearted as your wedding day, the birth of your first child or even that time you picked up that pair of exact Louboutin replicas […]
