A slightly unusual story, bit one that made us smile! Sudocrem, the Nation’s favourite nappy rash cream, have collaborated with luxury jewellery designer, Theo Fennell, to create what is the world’s most expensive nappy rash carrier.
Theo, who designs pieces for the likes of Lady Gaga and Elton John, has created a £10,000 Sudocrem charm bracelet created from white gold and 24 rubies, which looks like one of their iconic tubs. Believe it or not, Sudocrem are 80 years old this year and this is certainly a fantastic way to go about celebrating it.
The best news is that this exquisite piece will be auctioned off on eBay from the 1st week of December with app proceeds raised going to he NSPCC, a fantastic cause.
I’m always excited to see what Hetty Rose has to offer for her future collections and for SS12 she hasn’t disappointed! This new range is inspired and influenced by the beauty of birds in flight so the shoes have been designed by studying the forms in their wings to create a truly beautiful and unique Ready to Wear collection.
Versatile, chic and gorgeous seems to sum up Hetty Rose’s SS12 designs! The shoes and bags are handmade in London using gorgeous Japanese kimono fabrics which makes each design stand out in its own distinctive way. Soft leathers in muted tones fused with the kimono wings and feminine, vibrant prints and patterns make the shoes amazing statement pieces which can be worn day or night whilst detailing on the heels brings an interesting twist to the collection. I also adore the fan design on the clutch bags which would perfectly compliment your summer outfits.
One of London’s hottest new shopping destinations, One New Change, teamed up with GQ on Thursday 27th October 2011 to celebrate their first birthday by hosting three unmissable fashion shows!
With stunning views of St Paul’s Cathedral, One New Change is packed full of high street and designer stores plus is also home to the city’s most exciting new restaurants from Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey.
The GQ fashion show took place on the 6th floor of the shopping mall and featured brands such as Banana Republic, H&M, Hugo Boss, Reiss, Ketroy, Springfield, T.M. Lewin and Topman. Some of this season’s must-have trends were incorporated into the array of stylish outfits plus all of the ticket proceeds from the fashion shows will go to The Prince’s Trust.
Layering of tops, jumpers and jackets was seen throughout the show which is a perfect look for winter. Skinny and slim chinos and cord trousers made for sexy silhouettes whilst herringbone, tweed and earthy tone jackets, some featuring elbow patches, added a countryside edge to the outfits.
Neutral shades of black, navy, brown and grey were mixed in with shades of green, red, orange and claret – a lovely autumn/winter palette. Chunky knitwear such as cardigans and jumpers were worn over shirts for a smart, casual take on daywear. The range of versatile jackets and coats complimented the variety of trends throughout the show, from double breasted to pea styles. Checked is a must-have print for this season too and adorned shirts and jackets.
Stunning suits in a variety of styles were kept classic and clean. Smart shirt and tie combinations are ideal for day and evening or for a more casual vibe, a grey suit jacket and trousers were teamed with a mustard sweater – a great update to the working mans wardrobe!
A fantastic show to celebrate One New Change’s first birthday!
