Models eating macarons before a runway show? It happened. Before nineties catwalk staple Erin O’Connor made her catwalk return in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall ‘11 Couture show yesterday, she says the designer fed her the French cookies to give her a boost. Last night, O’Connor took to the runway again for Natalia Vodianova’s charity show. [...]

“Was that Jay Leno that just walked by?” asked Matthew Williamson, at launch of the Jaguar XJ at the Saatchi Gallery in Sloane Square. Yes, it was. The die-hard car buff was there alongside Elle Macpherson, Rosamund Pike, Jefferson Hack, and David Gandy to introduce the very English and very sexy new car. Williamson continued [...]

We reported on the abundance of familiar faces on the New York runways, and it looks like the trend is continuing in London. Carmen Dell’Orifice, Yasmin LeBon, Erin O’Connor, and Jacquetta Wheeler all returned to the catwalk in goth princess attire for newish-label Qasimi, and they looked like they were having a ball. We also [...]

Who knew so-called intellectual fashion could be such a crowd-puller? Anyone who thought they were in for a meditative waft around Hussein Chalayan’s exhibition From Fashion and Back at London’s Design Museum was in for a rude awakening at the opening last night.
