Long Live McQueen

Monday, 15 February 2010

Like many last week, I was shocked to hear of Alexander McQueen’s death. He was an amazing British talent who influenced fashion greatly over the last couple of decades. Even for those of you who know nothing about fashion, McQueen would have been a familiar name and you no doubt would have seen his designs even if you were unaware they were his.

His influence spanned high street fashion, sportswear, makeup must haves and celebrity looks.

The McQueen name was thrust into the limelight when Bjork wore one of his creations on her album cover Homogenic in 1997 after which, he went on to work with Givenchy and Gucci. He was unconvential and pushed the boundaries often being labelled the hooligan of British Fashion. His catwalk shows were controversial with collections such as ‘highland rape’. His bumster trousers spawned the trend in low rise jeans and his trademark skull prints became celebrity must have all around the world.


In 2005 he dsigned a range of Puma trainers and he also partnered with Mac Cosmetics in 2007 releasing a makeup range inspired by Cleopatra and Elizabeth Taylor from his AW07 catwalk show. Of late, his most familiar design would be his armadillo 12 inch heels as seen in Lady Ga Ga’s Bad Romance video. McQueen was one of the youngest designers to win British Designer of the year, which he won4 times. At only 40years young he had so much more to give us in the name of fashion. So take a look inside your wardrobe and see what you have influence byMcQueen. Get on those low rise jeans, wear that skull t-shirt with pride and feel fabulous in that amazing shade of blue eyeshadow. Long live McQueen.

Ski Style

Monday, 8 February 2010


Last week I managed to take some time out and hit the Scottish ski slopes for one of their best seasons ever. I was amazed at how good the snow and the facilities were. So imagine my horror when me, an Image Consultant was referred to as a ‘good lad’ by the lift attendant at Glenshee! I was mortified and complained all the way home to my husband that I obviously needed to get my ski outfit sorted. He did point out that it was an easy mistake to make as all that was really on show was my nose (it was -6 degrees!) That may well have been true but as we moved onto Avimore for another day of skiing, I made sure I had on my makeup, hair down and sparkly woollen hat.

As I observed the Scottish snow boarders and skiers in their outfits I realised that to look stylish with all that extra bulk on the slopes you need to exaggerate your true style and have fun with it. Against the white background of the snowy mountains, colour, pattern and shape can look amazing. So here are my tips, whatever your style preference, on how to stay cool on the slopes this season.

City Chics – Drainpipe ski pants if you have the legs. Not much room for long johns underneath but you will look great. Cream can look very elegant but make sure you have access to a washing machine and remember those oversized sun glasses to complete the look.


Classics – All-in-one’s are making a comeback. Choose one with a nipped in waist and belt. Make sure you reserve some energy to strip off every time you go to the loo!


Dramatics – Go for a short sharp biker style jacket matched with ski pants in block colour or strong shades.


Creatives – Choose jackets and trouser in the must have of the moment 80’s pastels and patterns. Mix it up.


Romantics – Fur trim on a hood or a hat will have you looking gorgeous and girlie. Watch out when it gets wet and freezes as it can look and smell more like wet dog!


Naturals – Pick a longer jacket that is really warm and full of pockets inside and out to keep all your ski essentials. Try one with detatchable sleeves if you ski at different times of the year. Very practical.
