On|Off
PICK OF THE DAY: MARK FAST
A confident catwalk collection which focused on the complex
fabric manipulation involving knit, stretch, and body conscious
silhouettes combining to make sexy but not vulgar dresses.
The colour palette showed sharp white, brilliant red, bold
cobalt and worked in perfect harmony with the mood of the
clothes.

PARTY
PICS: Giles ROCKS Swarovski
So we're thinking of starting a 'Giles Deacon for PM' campaign
here at Castle UJ. Seriously, he really is that lovely. And
on top of that, he's talented, stylish, straight, and knows
how to throw a fabulous party, celebrating ten seasons of
Swarovski sponsorship and the launch of the 2nd edition of
Rocks magazine. Filling the old sorting office on New Oxford
Street with sexy floating projections from his collection,
a giant Pac Man ghost in the centre of the space, and a veritable
army of stylish Giles lovers, the party was helped along by
good tunes and some killer Tanqueray Ten cocktails from the
Hoxton Pony crew. And of course, Prime Minister Deacon himself.

GOSSIP:
TUESDAY
Don't have anything nice to say? Come sit by us...
Overheard:
In South Kensington tube underpass
Tottering girl 1: Aargh! This tunnel is so ghetto.
Tottering girl 2: I know, you'd think the BFC would install
some kind of moving walkway.
TG1: Ooooh, like an airconditioned tube so we don't have to
walk or be near normal people.
TG2, sniffing at woman wearing flats: Well, at least we still
have our dignity.

TAKE A BREAK
Impossibly fierce heels and cobbles rarely get along. Neither
do manicures and seat snatching squabbles, or for the unlucky
ones, standing room cramp. Head to some of the capital's best
rest-ups for a spot of recuperation before it starts all over
again. It's a hard game, fashion:

BACKSTAGE: TEMPERLEY LONDON
Slip backstage at most fashion shows, and it's usually a
chaotic throng of surprising blandness and pretty people taking
themselves far too seriously. Kind of destroys the fashion
magic. But not backstage at Alice Temperley. Instead, our
intrepid UJ snappers discovered a curiously delightful flurry
of gorgeous peacock colours, lush whites, feathery fun, and
beautiful modules actually smiling. Who knew?
