The London Lounge

Copies of the series can be purchased for £30. Email Julie.Jackson@bellwethermedia.co.uk for more details. They do ship overseas but dont accept paypal. They do accept cheques but I dont think this would work for anyone outside the UK? I've never had a chequebook :oops: so I'm not sure how they work...

Thank you so much for posting about the Savile Row repeat. I missed that series first time around as I believe it was on BBC 4, which I dont have access to. The British Style Genius programme was great tonight, so much better than watching girls dashing around Topshop. Why does Oswald Boateng have t...

Hi all, I bought the Fred Astaire Style book recently & got to look through it last night. Could someone please explain to me why Fred Astaire was still wearing a scarf around his waist in his 80s. It looks great but I am wondering if a belt and belt loops make a pair of trousers look ugly? Or perha...

This link might help explain why couture is so expensive. It's dreadfully expensive for a dress that only get worn once or twice, but that's the whole point really, the exclusivity http://www.fashion-era.com/Vintage_fashion/5_vintage_textile_couture.htm here's a link to the Spring/Summer '08 couture...
