I’ve only met Grace Lee once, but I am amazed at how she gets shot every single fashion week by the street style photographers. I’m not so proficient in reading in Chinese, but I’ll always look through Nu You (she helms the magazine as editor-in-chief). Oh, and I get a kick at recognising the labels after [...]

By now you've probably heard about the Comme Des Garcons for H&M collection that's slated to hit stores mid-November. You may have even heard about the $350 dress- a bargain if you realize that amount might get you the right sleeve of an actual CdG dress. In any event, we're excited to see how Rei Kawakubo's playful but high fashion design philosophy translates into the H&M mass market. Seasoned shoppers...

Comme Des Garcons for H&M and Christopher Kane for Topshop might get heaps of publicity, and ranges like Giles Gold for New Look might be well-known to most of us, but what about all the designer diffusion lines that easily lie forgotten? I'm first to admit I'm easily swayed by the hype, but the truth is there are far more interesting pieces from designer diffusion ranges if you know where to look,...

Can you believe Sean Connery is 78? He looks damn good for his age and Louis Vuitton must think so too. The luxury brand have enlisted the help of our favourite 007 to be the new face of its, “Core Values Campaign”. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, Connery is pictured looking oh so cool and relaxed by the dock near his home in the Bahamas with his Louis Vuitton travel bag and wearing a panama hat, a polo...

A crimped look at Dior. Photo: WireImage The hair in Paris is nothing short of wild and wacky, and of course, nothing we could pull off ourselves.

My style pick for this week is this gorgeous Comme Des Garcons wallet from Start London . Mr Start, a past columnist for Brandish, has a great look and I can imagine this item slotting into his vintage chic and classic cool wardrobe quite nicely. The embossed leather is a great cerulean blue, made famous by the brilliant film 'The Devil Wears Prada.' The wallet has a zip around two sides and an "internal...
