what will i wear today?

When your budget only stretches to the high street, sometimes you can be conned into believing fashion begins and ends on the high street. It’s only when confronted by a show like the one held in the Powerscourt for the launch of the Dublin Festival of Fashion last night, that the true potential of fashion [...]

I’m not long in the door but wanted to share with you peeps a few pictures taken tonight at the Dublin Festival of Fashion. It was held in the Powerscourt Centre on South William Street. Three McGinns, myself and our intrepid fancy camera man, Rory Nugent, set about nabbing and chatting to as many people [...]

New night Daddy or Chips at the Good Bits starts this Saturday and more coverage of the Dublin Festival of Fashion in le Cool by moi.

Australia’s Next Top Model final…oh no.

  The Dublin Festival of Fashion takes place this weekend and is offering up an array of tasty treats for the fashion hungry of Dublin. You’ll have live catwalk shows on Grafton and Henry street, make-up masterclasses, pop-up stores, a model flash mob and cafés offering fashion menus (would that be lettuce only then?) There [...]

There’s a vicious rumour circulating that Being Fabulous is not Enough to survive in the fashion industry. I’m not sure who started such spurious claims; I mean, the mere suggestion that all these years spent grooming and preening and parading and mwah-mwahing have been in vain…well it’s enough to send one into rehab daaaahhhhhlllling. Although [...]

Mary Kantrantzao So London Fashion Week may have had it’s fair share of catwalk catastrophes, but on the whole the week was buzzing with the trademark quirky, forward and downright fashion coolness we’ve come to expect from LFW. Here’s a breakdown of what we think it’s so hot right now…

So, lets not kid ourselves, there are times when our favourite fashion designers not so much get it wrong, but actually threaten the lives of the audience with fashion disasters that have previously resulted in fainting, migraines and projectile vomiting. Here are a few examples of such irresponsible designing. Warning, to all you sequin fans, [...]

So, myself Grace and Lorna headed down to the ONLY jeans Airbourne event last Friday. It was the launch of the A/W collection and was held in Weston Airport. The ONLY team fly to numerous locations all over Europe and stage a show on each runway. Totally inspired event, not least with an all-you-can-eat Eddie [...]

The ONLY jeans A/W launch was on Friday – we have more details on that to follow, but we took some piccies of our outfits. Just to confirm that we don’t actually sit around in tracksuit bottoms and over sized charity t-shirts with greasy hair and 3 day-old make-up all the time.  Gosh, that was [...]

Coco Rocha was invited by ElleUK to do a 25-page shoot for it’s 25th birthday. I can honestly say it’s one of the most sexy, evocative, electrifying, want-inducing shoots I’ve seen in years. It’s an hommage to the Jane Fonda movie “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” which is all about a dance marathon held during the [...]

(I have never heard that Father Ted quote bandied about so much as I have over the last few days…) Now let me preface this post by saying I have nothing against the Rose of Tralee (except the fact that at 26 you’d be too old to enter it). On Monday I was listening to [...]

I hate to admit it, and if I’m honest I am still in semi denial about the fact that summer is coming to an end but on the upside the dreaded sales are coming to an end (whoop) and Autumn Winter trends are taking over, with lots of new yummy trends to get my teeth [...]

Delicate lace, sheer chiffon, uber feminine satin, frills, bows, floaty, billowing fabrics, baby pinks, pretty pastels, natural nudes…. all that’s missing is hundreds of daisies and big open meadows and we’ve got the intro to The Sound of Music or an ad for washing detergent….but no, what I am trying to create in your minds [...]

Following on from Beyonce’s yesterday, here comes another video lookbook that appears to be filmed (as Kitty Cat described it) in a crack den. The full campaign stars flavours-of-the-year Zoe Kravitz and Abbey Lee Kershaw. Behold the new Alexander Wang Autumn 2010 collection. And I’m not sure I love it. Which is unexpected. Actually you [...]

Oh Isabel Marant, you are KILLING me. Your fashion is so accessible, so utterly ridiculously divine – I nearly break out in a rash, I get a case of The Want so badly. Now when I say accessible, I don’t mean in monetary terms. We’re talking about starting at over a grand for most of [...]

When I stumbled across this picture I felt it was only fair that I share it with you all… it is one of the single most bizarre pics I have ever seen…The queen (bitch) of the fashion world Anna Wintour getting down with her bad self with none other than……………………. P Diddy!!! How random – [...]

Sorry to disappoint menfolk everywhere, but I am of the grey and holey underwear persuasion. Generally speaking, 90% of my undies have been turned varying shades of blue and pink in the wash, have no elastication left and are designed for sport and comfort rather than aesthetics. And then when I do buy nice lingerie, [...]

I’m pretty impressed with Chanel’s A/W 2010 collection (more pics and analysis to follow.) But as much as I like those furry boots, they made me have a most heinous reaction. I said… gulp… “I remember those first time round.” ARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH! Of course by the ‘first time round’ I’m referring to is this:

So hipster magazine/ media empire VICE magazine are running a competition with Koppaberg to source the cream of up-and-coming talent merchants. Pioneers across film, photography, music and fashion platforms are being encouraged to enter the Koppaberg Klash which has a cash prize, live performances and a whopper party to cap it off . For the [...]
