Papping the paps at the New Look/Ponystep party…
This was the group of paparazzis awaiting some action at the paparazzi wall. Don’t you just love their body language?
I’m in 10 Mag and Grazia Daily!
So, imagine how shocked I was to pick up the new 10 Magazine and find my blog staring out at me from those thick, shiny-shiny pages? I knew a mention was going in, but I’d imagined a wee screen grab of the homepage, not an entire page and a mini-interview all to myself! It was part of a ten-page feature called Ten blogs/Twitters/mail-outs you should know and here are the ten in full:
Kate Loves Me
Lovely Pelayo’s blog with lots of pictures of himself (well if you look like he does, why not?) and a look at his fashion-faaaabulous life
Style Rookie
“She’s only 12” etc etc
Grazia Daily
They’ve given me props too! Group hug, yeah?
The Fashion Spot
Fashion-geek central
Karl Lagerfeld/Twitter
Always good for a soundbite…
Jacky Blue
A new one for me – just gorgeous
ME!
Style Salvage
Steve and EJ’s brilliant menswear blog. Nice one you guys!
Show Studio
Posh blog

Hilarious weekly email nonsense from Charlie Porter

At home with Margiela, Diesel and Nicola Formichetti
I’m not sure what to make of the news that Maison Martin Margiela has launched a home collection. Is it selling out? I do love Margiela’s all-whitewashed utilitarian house style but ready-made and boxed up for people to buy off the rack? I thought I wanted it, but now I’m having second thoughts. (Fickle, moi?)
Even more confusingly, I find myself strangely drawn to the Diesel furniture shown at Salone in Milan last week – it’s just so un-Diesel! In fact, it’s more Margiela than Margiela!*
All this interiors talk brings me neatly to a new book I browsed through in Topshop yesterday on my way to the Mywardrobe press day.
A compilation of creatives’ live-work spaces in London, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Berlin and Tokyo, it comprises the dwellings of Nicola Formichetti, Julie Verhoeven and Gary Card among many others. Conclusion? A creative is not a creative without a higgledy piggledy mound of magazines and/or books taller than Trellick Tower (guilty!), an Hermes box or ten for storage and display (I have that too!), an abundance of cheeky retro toys (yup) and a carefully considered hotch-potch of found-in-skip furniture (check!). Hang about, why the hell aren’t I in this book???
*PS: yes, I know they’re owned by the same company…
