I missed out on my chance to attend Gucci’s in-store cocktail party this past week as, you know, I was busy. Nothing to do with  my not having been invited (don’t they know who I am?) – but the point …

On Monday, Versace showed its A/W 2011 menswear collection in Milan, in an homage to the 1980s with patterned sweaters, suits, trousers and accents of beige that wouldn’t look out of place in a Bond film of yore. Slick tailoring …

The biggest surprise of 2011′s Golden Globes red carpet has to have been the fact that Angelina didn’t wear black – although she did stick with her tried ‘n’ trusted formula of column dress + back cleavage. Still, this emerald …
