Going up:

Kate Moss Style: She may be newly single (although not for long we bet) but our favourite super can take comfort from the fact that the fashion world is giving her some serious love right now. Not only is there to be a whole exhibition dedicated to her in Paris but now Angela Buttolph has released a new book entitled ‘Kate Moss Style: Inside the World’s Most Famous Wardrobe‘. We can’t wait to get our hands on it…

Sleeping with your socks on: Sexy? Not really. But this, apparently is what Victoria Beckham does. And gloves too. Not because she and David can’t afford to pay for the heating of course, but as part of her beauty routine to keep her hands and feet silky smooth and soft as anything. Frankly we’re impressed that Becks puts up with it - we can just imagine the comments from our boyfriends if we tried to get into bed wearing gloves…

Barack Obama: Championed by Stella in her show notes. Presumably now he’s got fashion’s seal of approval there’ll be no stopping him…

Going down:

Lily Cole for Playboy: Given the amount of flesh usually on show in your average avant garde fashion shoot we’re pretty sure we’ve seen it all before. But Lily always seemed so wholesome and lovely, not the kind of girl who’d pose with only pigtails and a teddy to preserve her modesty. And don’t get us started on the socks. Our illusions are shattered…

Hardy Amies: The iconic British fashion house went into administration this week. Who on earth will the Queen turn to for her dresses now? Personally our vote’s for the Queen of fashion herself, Dame Viv - royal appearances could get so much more interesting.

The Eurostar: Ever since a lorry caught fire in the Channel Tunnel all the trains have been in chaos, and now it’s playing having with the British Editor’s schedules. Don’t they know it’s Paris Fashion Week? Surely the fashion pack should get priority - we’re talking Lanvin here…
