LFW AW 2012: Matthew Williamson and Pam Hogg catwalks

By Andrea Petrou on February 20th, 2012

We heart London Fashion Week and can’t get enough of all the styles. And the best bit for us is how different each designer and look can be.

This weekend was just one example with Matthew Williamson and Pam Hogg both showing off their ranges for AW 2012.

At Matthew Williamson styles were – dare we say it- safe but also reflective of the designers’ style.

Shift dresses with embellished necklines and in a range of patterned, luxe and chiffon fabrics marched down the catwalk, while a red lace and feather dress gave a nod to the ballroom dance theme. Long chiffon dresses and classic daytime khaki trousers and preppy blouses completed the look.

Over at Pam Hogg the designer displayed her trademark fetish PVC fabrics, which formed bodices with sheer panels as well as featuring in thigh high boots and on military style jackets.

Latex and metallic fabrics moulded into long catsuits also gave a nod to the futuristic trend, while boning, bows, pvc and sheer fabrics gave the traditional Victorian bonnet a structured modern twist.

However, the highlight of the show for us was the Russian dollesque frock and hat outfit shown off on the catwalk by Jamie Winstone. We want….

Britney Spears parties until 4am to celebrate her engagement

By Andrea Petrou on December 19th, 2011

Britney Spears partied until 4am to celebrate her engagement on Friday.

The ‘Hold It Against Me’ singer threw a joint engagement and 40th birthday party for her fiance Jason Trawick at the Chateau club in Las Vegas, spending money on Dom Perignon champagne and a chocolate fountain to adorn the room.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Britney made sure there was plenty of Dom Perignon champagne flowing throughout the bash. She had a couple of glasses herself. She stayed until 4am when she and Jason returned to their 50th floor suite.”

Writing on twitter, Britney said: “Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life. Such an amazing time with my new fiance and our closest friends and family. Blessed. (sic)”

Meanwhile, Neil Lane, the designer responsible for designing the engagement ring Jason gave to Britney has revealed he has been creating the piece of jewellery – which features one main diamond and 90 smaller gems on an eternity band – for some time while she has been touring the world.

He told People: “Jason is a romantic and when I asked him to tell me about Britney and what the ring would represent to them so I could find inspiration, his response was always the same – she is a princess.

“Texts came from all over the world, from Abu Dhabi to Mexico and I don’t know where else.”

Despite the ring being created when he was away, Jason was delighted with the final piece hen he went to pick it up from his store in Los Angeles.

Neil added: “Oh my god he loved it. The guy was so excited and nervous. At the end of the day, even with all the fame, he’s still a normal guy who was about to propose to the woman he loves.”

Pictures: Rihanna in concert at the O2

By Andrea Petrou on October 6th, 2011

Rihanna may have taken the tube to her concert at the 02 but we’re sure she didn’t wear any of her stage attire on the way.

The singer looked hot in a crochet beaded bikini which she posed with alongside 50s style cars. She also gave a nod to the 80s with her neon pink shoe boots and bright yellow hoop earrings.

Also making an appearance was a short blue wet look mac, which showed off the singers booty, we’re sure there were no complaints from the males in the audience.
