The best out of Friday morning in a nushell.
Christopher Bailey, Burberry
Christopher Bailey is deeply passionate about craftsmanship be it traditional, or developing new technologies in design such as fabric, glass, social media, and music. He is equally passionate about people working together – like glue. In order for something to work it needs people to connect with each other to spur enthusiasm and energy.
Marigay McKee, My Life In Fashion, Harrods
Marigay McKee started her fashion career while still at school as a Saturday girl at Harrods. Today, she’s no Saturday girl – She is the most influential fashion buyer and is now Chief Merchant at Harrods. Buying and spending habits in the fashion industry has changed dramatically, particularly in the last 10 years with the Chinese and Russian Market opening up more. Harrods for example has changed their sizing to accommodate the South East Asian Market.

Nigella Lawson, Women and food, or women and guilt
The relationship we have with food, extends to our relationship with fashion and huge pressures we feel to look good. Dressed in film-noir figure hugging black and finished with the most eye-dazzling ruby-red shoe wedges, the delicious Nigella Lawson took to the stage on the opening day of the Vogue Festival and chatted with Kirsty Young. Kirsty was equally stunning in a desirable floor length silk or chiffon floaty maxi in this season’s hot glamazon print.
We want to know what’s in Nigella’s handbag? I’m guessing a secret mix of herbs and spices. Perhaps a pinch of salt, cocoa and sugar for added je ne sais crois to a meal when dining out. What do you think Nigella never leaves the home without?
