Lots of people have warmed to combining prints these days, but what is the key to doing it well..? Carly Findlay helps us out here.

Simplification and downsizing. There’s a new trend happening around colour analysis, and it’s looking promising for the environment! Read about the genesis for my book, COLOUR: the secret to creating a Sustainable Wardrobe.

What to do when you’re sick of the boozy team lunches and the paint-balling terrifies you!

True confession time. Though it’ll hardly come as a surprise…

The art and science of dressing for hospital (let’s not take me too seriously here - lol - but read on regardless for some useful tips!)

Thank you to those who demand we clean up our act. We can no longer expect people to produce fashion for other people at the unrealistic pace we have been become used to.
