Feature Special: After Dark Tailoring

Their lipstick a perfect crimson pout, the startlingly razor shoulder's pad's like thorn's nestled into their skin. A sly and sheer top drapes underneath, contrasting against the bony tailored jacket that sit's dangerously on her shoulders. Want to look elegant? Want to look edgy? We're on the knife point...








The Runway
Donna Karan kept the audience breathless with her striking, night-time looks.














The Colour Palette
Red Gold Black White Grey Navy

The Texture List
Velvet Lace Chiffon Leather Silk

The Draft
Think sharp. Artful slashes, pointed suit tails, wet look leggings and edgy platforms. It's all about keeping the look contemporary, seductive and mysterious. Contrast the spiked edges with an ill fitting dress, that hangs instead of being firm across your shoulders. Make it revealing: lace, chiffon and sheer materials in all the right places.

We lust, we Crave, but do we receive?

Every woman (and man) wish the day they wear the right outfit at the right time. That day is the day we just KNOW that whoever we bump into approves, and forgets the coffee stain (if for a second). Only rarities such as our English Rose VB seem to pull it off. But it isn't exactly a big secret as to how they do it...it's about being prepared.

I've had days where I went out in my pyjama's, which I thought I could pretend were my joggers and that I was a healthy person. Which to be honest, I will never be. But I'm shoddy compared with the Likes of Chezzer, and Posh who are always ready, and go out in dresses we would wear to our weddings. They don't settle for the bed hair, or the bosh make-up or the pj's. Why, I bet Cheryl still had her platforms on in her Sick bed when she was fighting Malaria. I can imagine her now, kicking away like some kind of germ buster.

But, not all of us can afford Balmain or Prada, so we settle for the high-street. And you may sigh, or bawl, or WAIL! But we've always got our Credit Cards at the ready.....;)

And darling's, if we learn the trade of being glamourfied every day of our lives, we WILL have that day. I hope I'm not 80 by the time it comes, though.....!

Stylist Tip's:
- 70's can be made dramatic. Flowing hair, wild make-up and a Rough Diamond Attitude.
- Twiggy Channelled the 60's with the iconic Hairstyle of the decade. Are you daring enough to?
- Style a Utility jacket with a pair of Worker boot's. A heeled version if your short.
