Oh, how I’m loving the monogramming trend bubbling under. First it was Pringle, then Globetrotter, now Louis Vuitton at Selfridges is offering its Mon Monogram service on Speedy bags bought from its pop-up concept store between now and 25th June. More low-tech is embroiderer Helen Perks who offers a monogramming service from her studio at 23 Noel Street, W1 (020 7439 4230). I’m thinking 24-point initials on a T-shirt, cardigan or boxer shorts – discreet and sweet.
Fancy some festival fun? I posted this a year ago but it hasn’t dated much…
Dos and Don’ts For Festival Dressing
A delightfully British spread was laid on for guests at the announcement of the BFC NEWGEN sponsorship winners at Somerset House. A proper cream tea feast awaited us on a table groaning with crustless cucumber sandwiches, home-made lemonade and a particularly fine mini scone.
Info gleaned:
NEWGEN sponsor TopShop is collaborating with ‘a renowned image-maker’ on a short fashion film!
Louise Gray’s laptop is as arty as her dresses!
Feathers PR Violaine has a new haircut!
Henry Holland’s flight was delayed meaning a no-show for Henry!
One of the designers had a mini-strop!

Wondering if/when the high street will be attempting these:
