A new dawn for British Vogue
"Edward is an exceptionally talented stylist who will no doubt bring an exciting new creative aesthetic to the magazine," said Alexandra Shulman, British Vogue's current editor. "Every Vogue editor arrives with their own range of talents and experience and Edward is very known, respected and liked within the fashion industry. I look forward to finding out his plans as soon as possible and working with him over the next few months of transition so that British Vogue continues to be the leading magazine in this market." In terms of diversity alone, Enninful’s appointment is a "surprise" that's most welcome. Indeed, on many levels, he will certainly strike a fresh contrast to the predominantly white middle-class women who work at the magazine today and appeared in Richard Macer’s BBC2 documentary last year.

Ashley Roberts: We speak to the singer as she launches...
Now, Roberts is turning her hand to designing, with the launch of her new footwear collection, ALLYN. We spoke to the celeb about the inspirations behind her collection, the future of the brand, and other projects she has planned. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, Ashley Roberts has been in the limelight for over a decade, building a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Mainly known for being part of a successful girl group, Ashley longed for something of her very own. “I have always been passionate about footwear and wanted to create something that I own, from scratch,” the new entrepreneur said. Earlier this week, Ashley launched ALLYN, taking to Instagram to tell her 224K followers that she “screamed” when she saw her “very own shoe boxes,” for her beloved brand that had been “a year in the making”. The launch took place on the evening of Wednesday 8th February at Larizia in North London, with a host of celebrity friends in attendance, such as singer Ella Eyre and ex-PussyCat Dolls Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt.
The Relevancy of Haute Couture in 2017
Unlike other Fashion Weeks held six months before the product they show is available online or in-store, Haute Couture is the only showcase in which clothes are created for the season in which they are shown. Yet, the production of each garment can easily cost five figures, and it's a well-known fact that couture is a loss-leader - the couture industry is simply not profitable. So why do we still look to these collections as the ultimate pinnacle of fashion? "Haute Couture is what gives our business its essential essence of luxury," Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH told The Telegraph. "Set against the money we lose has to be the value of the image couture gives us. Look at the attention the collections attract. It is where you get noticed. You have to be there. It's where we set our ideas in motion."
