The fashion industry isn’t known for having taboos. In fact, it’s accused of the exact opposite and is probably second only ‘the media’ when it comes to receiving the blame for anything that goes wrong in society. What follows offers up little fashion, but highlights that words serve as taboos in fashion where The last time slogan t-shirts truly caught our eye was 2007, the…

Carelessly brushing the eyes, it's the fringe that makes you look like you've perpetually just rolled out of bed after a big night out. Back for 2012, thick, grungy bangs are one key way of styling a fringe this year. We look at how it's being worn both in the music and fashion worlds, as well as how the effortlessly-cool are rocking it on the street.

Trends can sweep in as if on an unstoppable avalanche, changing the landscape entirely (until they run their cycle); such is what the fringe (bangs) did back in 2007. But it doesn’t have to end there. Some can drift on, lingering, having smaller bursts of renewed vigor. That’s what the fringe has done – and this year it stays on as a 2012 hairstyle of…

Ordinarily she’s the queen of sexy-scruffy bed hair and peek-a-boo fringes. Not for Lara Bohinc’s spring 2012 campaign though, in which a transformed Daisy Lowe rocks a cloud of ’70s spiral curls, animal print scarves, and exotic head wraps.

Elizabeth and James has always been the younger, more casual little sister to The Row, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s luxury clothing line.

In fact the hippie feel is…

What is Scandinavian design, and more importantly, what does the future hold for it? From footwear to furniture, we wanted to find out how current brand leaders in the field perceive Scandinavian design in the present day; how they approach it; how they balance market needs and trends with ingrained, decades-old principles; and what the future holds. To find the answers, we headed to Copenhagen, Denmark. Read the full report after the break.

When you take a couture piece to the streets, it gets attention. But eyeball-dropping is really ensued when you wear lingerie as outerwear and take that to the streets. A visual treat for Paris was on the cards when Daisy Lowe braved its streets in this Jean Paul Gaultier bustier and skirt teamed with rocketing cherry-soled spiked heels. What’s not to love about this ensemble?…

When it comes to nudity in her work, model Daisy Lowe is certainly no stranger or wallflower. Nor are other models strangers to Playboy magazine – we’ve seen the likes of Lily Cole and Lara Stone featured within its pages, while from another part of the fashion industry Karl Lagerfeld has tried his hand at photographing for the title. Yet the now-revealed collaboration between Daisy…

Daisy Lowe isn’t waif-like, or indeed anything less than classically feminine in form; so watching her not only dress but dress for her figure is like a lesson with many take aways. Here she gets it oh so right, spotted outside Elie Saab’s fall 2011 couture show in a red dress that screams sex-bomb but with only the merest hint of skin. That hint is…

Update: Daisy Lowe’s shoot by Patrick Fraser can now be found, along with the video, after the jump. In case you haven’t seen enough videos of Daisy Lowe posing with rocked-up bed hair, dark eyemakeup, and little clothing, here’s yet another: ‘Lazy Daisy’ by Patrick Fraser.
