Nicky's Rag Tales

I have spent the last few days taking part in the September Masterclass, style events taking place in all Brown Thomas stores. Hence the lack of blogs as I drove to various parts of the country and talked Hosiery trends on behalf of Falke to any one who was prepared to listen. In Galway and Limerick I interjected as models paraded up and down the fashion floor showing the latest fa from D&G, DVF, Armani and Marc by Marc Jacobs. I managed to double job by whipping out the camera while perplexed customers looked on, the results of which are below. The staff in each of the stores are without a doubt some of the most professional and passionate shop assistants, lovers of all things fashion who delighted in telling me exactly what their favorite pieces were and what they thought of this seasons trends.

The Burberry Prorsum Menswear Fall 20100-2011 was streamed live from Milan yesterday, a commercial collection paying homage to the great coat, of which Burberry is king. Military history was evident throughout with trenches, pea coats and exaggerated collared bombers all teamed with one neat trouser tucked into rubber fur lined wellies (New Uggsfor men?) and military style boots. The accompanying music is great too.
