Hosting or attending a Christmas party this year? If it’s the former you’ll undoubtedly want to impress. If it’s the latter you’ll naturally want to take your host a gift. Irrespective of which it is, as a fashioniser you’ll be on the look out for that something special. And should it be alcohol that you’re looking for Vivienne Westwood‘s collaboration with Chivas Regal Scotch whisky…

It looks like Melvin Sokolsky’s girl in the bubble is haunting me. She first served Fashionising.com as vintage inspiration, and we then discovered the entire photo shoot dating from 1963. Her latest incarnation is part of the 2010 Kips Bay Decorator Show House where she forms the central feature of one of the ‘bubble rooms’.

I may be the only person in the world who adores them, so if that is the case please forgive this selfish indulgence. But indulgence aside, a fashionisers’ home should be like their wardrobe: full of statement pieces. And the milk bottle pendant light is just such a statement piece; one perfect, at least, for those such as myself who behold milk bottles with childish…

When Tom Ford made the leap from fashion design to filmmaking, we expected there’d be lots to love. But bringing so much more than just impeccable fashion to the screen, Ford’s directorial debut – A Single Man – had many pining for a retro-furnished redwood retreat with an open plan layout and glass frontage. Designed by architect John Lautner in 1949, the house at the…
