LULA magazine plus fashion exhibit for all Londoners!!


FOR all who has not read the new magazine LULA!!! Go find it. It is in your nearest universal news store. The Editor in Chief, Leith Clarke former worked at Brittish Vouge and has now with cool friends started this amazing magazine. It is for all girls who are born in the 70's. Remember the movie "The Never Ending Story" and the princess in there? Did you like me, think she was the most beautiful in the world (I was 8!!!!). Big article about her, lots of articles about young/ new up and coming designers, stylists and other creative people in the world. Beautiful sweet fashion stories.

The second issue just came out and this is the cover.

Second! TO ALL LONDONERS:

SWINGING AWAY: London's Victoria & Albert Museum is mounting a multipronged homage to the Sixties, from fashion to revolution to graphic design. "Swinging Sixties: Fashion in London and Beyond, 1955-1970" opened in the Costume Gallery earlier this week. The show features paper dresses with in-your-face Zandra Rhodes prints, suits by Piccadilly tailors Mr. Fish and Rupert Lycett Green, schoolgirl looks by Mary Quant and more demure numbers by Biba and Caroline Charles. The show is organized according to regions of London and shows the evolution of the London lady, from stuffy old Mayfair to the kooky King's Road in Chelsea.

"It's been 40 years since Time magazine came out with its Swinging London issue; designers like Dolce & Gabbana are using the era as inspiration, and there was just a very strong feeling in the air," says Jenny Lister, co-curator, adding that David Mlinaric had donated the eye-popping striped suit ("Annabel's turned him away at the time, because the colors were too bright," Lister said), while Cilla Black donated her long and demure Caroline Charles dress. The show runs until February 2007.

Please go see!!

With all my love,
