Let’s hear it for the nice guy…



There’s something I just like about Kanye. He gets a bad rap sometimes (LV internship furore anyone?) but deep down he’s into design so I feel an affinity. He only properly registered on my radar when I saw his house featured in Harpers Bazaar – remember?

Anyway, a friend of mine who works for Wallpaper just sent me this email:

“Our photography director hung out with Kanye at our recent shoot and we filmed him for an upcoming video story on wallpaper.com. His people said he’s avail for 10 mins tops, but he ended up hanging out and being interviewed for ages – then he invited our people to his show and offered to pay for the new Eurostar tickets so they could stay in Paris!”

Sweet no?



Quote of the day



“She is more friendly now, eating her pasta, flicking her hair. But it’s hard to ignore the feeling that she thinks I am a moron. It’s there in the tone of her voice which, faced with my questions, my tentatively offered opinions, is often scornful; and it’s there in her face, which, though so young and so baby-soft, is mostly held in a rictus of disparagement.”
Journalist Rachel Cooke, on interviewing Peaches Geldof in Observer Woman



Roll on Spring





Uniqlo are definitely pushing the Paninaro look judging from these posters at Oxford Circus station (above), not to mention the new Spring-Summer collection (below).




All these mouthwatering smoothie-coloured togs really do make me want to don some ankle-length jeans, Burlington socks, Sebago boating shoes and aviators, jump on a scooter and ride off into the nearest Pet Shop Boys video. Oh to be sixteen again…

“Uggs are worn all year and to every occasion. The most popular senior (I am a junior) even worn Uggs to Prom, which caused a big mess at the door as the dresscode was black tie but she somehow convinced everyone that she was cool enough to wear them.”
Sheesh. Commenter no 272 on this Uggs debate at Fashionista.com
