Incredible embellishment and embroidery from the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition at the Bowes Museum last month. I love the little jacket above especially - definitely a stand out party piece for Christmas!

Molly Goddard

Last month I took part in a presentation for fashion week for my lovely friend Molly Goddard. Molly designed 21 totally unique dresses for the event, each one tailored differently depending on which of her friends was wearing it.

 Lots of tulle, pink, smocking, frill.... So beautiful and brilliant, and I was so proud both of Molly and to be part of it.

Can't wait what Molly does next...

Lacroix

Jewellery from the south of France that influenced the creation of a Lacroix 1987 wedding dress.

Christian Lacroix's haute couture embodies all the lavish opulence one imagines haute couture should be.

Saville Row

Saville Row is one of the most interesting streets to walk down in London. Remember to look down when passing shop windows... When I was 16, I had a week's work experience with a gentleman who was then the Queen's Haute Couturier. It was such an amazing insight in to the whole world of Haute Couture, as well as an important realisation that I couldn't really sew! One of my favourite parts of the experience was assisting on shopping trips sourcing fabrics, threads and buttons from specialist shops tucked away and hidden around Central london.
