Taking a break from our usual programme to remind you of this incredible, incredible song and video. It’s been a while, hey? Let’s all just say this together now: Jarvis Cocker for the win. You could probably put together his amazing burgundy skinny suit getup from Topman today. Also, I would very much like to...

Hello! Sorry there’s been a slight delay in broadcast over the last couple of weeks; it’s been extremely busy in our other, bill-paying lives. But here we are, back again in time to bring you some (delayed) updates from the world of couture. At the beginning of the month the autumn winter couture shows were...
Oh, hello. What do we have here? A great music and art showcase is what, making this article’s goal two-pronged; we want you to remind you that Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ second album Here is out, and that the album’s cover art has already inspired some crazy appropriation (that’s fancy art talk for...
As loth as I am to link to the Daily Mail, they were the Internet conduit to this amazing set of photographs taken by Kirsty Mitchell. The photographs are Kirsty’s tribute to her mother, who died four years ago from a brain tumour. Unbelievable as it seems, the photographs have been created entirely from scratch...
Sooo, the Asian world’s beauty secret has finally been revealed to the world. The explosion of BB cream (not literally; that would be messy) all over the world has led to a bewildering number of beauty brands jumping onto the BBandwagon and pushing out their own variety.

Allow me to present three related points: 1. H&M has announced a collaboration with famed avant-garde design house Maison Martin Margiela. 2. H&M will be opening a flagship store right here in Kuala Lumpur late September this year. 3. We’ve received news from on high that the collection will indeed be dropping here in Malaysia....

Forget arm candy – finger swag is where it’s at. Or so we’re now convinced, after having spoken to Australian-based designer Jacqueline Chan and lusted after her adorable new range of rings. Jacqueline’s label is called Whimsy Milieu and we put her on the spot (not really, we’re lovely people) about rings, accessories and Lady...

Backpacks are a pet peeve of mine – if you take the train you’ll know how irritating it is to be thwacked by a backpack possessed of an office-bound man who thinks if you don’t see it, it doesn’t exist. Peeps, they’re still there and damnit they hurt when swung round into your ribs or...

How many idle hours are wasted away on Instagram? Which clever person was it who realised that all people really want to do is spend their time looking at faux-vintage, pretty photos? Hats off to that man. If you’re keen on fashion, it doesn’t get better than Instagram (Twitter please, sit down). Firsthand looks into...
Vintage? Check. Gorgeous? Check. Self-esteem stimulant, collectible, and probably going to get others salivating? Check, check, and hooray! The Opulent Hippo has it all, which is why we got in touch with its owner Sammy Pong. We were dying to find out more about the vintage costume jewellery that she vends online via Etsy and...

We do love ourselves a bit of LV, especially if it comes with a side of parody and a knowing wink. The brand commissioned photographer Vincent Bousserez to shoot a series of his famed miniatures, revolving around the LV tenets – luxury and monograms. The result is a witty take on Louis Vuitton and its...
