I heart Alexa Chung

My new style icon is the gorgeous Alexa Chung. I love the way she mixes up her hobo style with a London street edge vibe using British designers such as Luella Bartley, Burberry and Mulberry. She first hit our screens on T4;s pop world, now she has her own US TV show for MTV 'It's on with Alexa Chung'.

Zakee Shariff for Roxy Heart

Last Wednesday I visited my Fashion Designer friend Zakee Shariff at Beyond the Valley. Zakee was launching her A/W 09 print/fashion collection which she designed for Roxy Heart. The collection was beautiful my favourite piece was a printed blouse inspired by Zakee's art work searching for light. The shop at the Bluebird, Supra girls, No-one and Beyond the Valley are among the few exclusive boutiques stocking this colourful range.

Vivienne Westwood

I have just been watching London based Fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood on Jonathon Ross. I have been inspired and moved by Vivienne, being in such a materialistic industry it's amazing to hear someone of her status passionate about such an important issue as climate change. This is also an issue close to my heart too, Vivienne urged us to join Prince Charles Rainforest Project, which I have signed up to and encourage you to do the same. I have been lucky enough to visit the amazon so I know first hand what a special and irreplacable role in which it plays in maintaining the health of our planet!

Fiona Rae

I have been a fan of Fiona Rae artwork for a few years now. I saw her work at the Sensation exhibition back in 1997. The thing's I liked most about Fiona's artwork was the way she mixes bold graphics with colur and the textures in which she creates with the paint. Here are a few of my favourite paintings below:

Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009

I was shocked to hear of the news of Michael Jackson. I wasn;t his biggest fan I have to admit. But the music in which he created was truley iconic and touched all ages. Michael inspired so many people both musically and in regards to Fashion. Balmain in there last two collections have used strong references to his wardrobe. The image below is one of my favourite of him and it brings back fond memories of an amazing Michael Jackson era.
