We here at sip have always adored Yasmin Le Bon and the Le Bons overall - we even followed her daughter Amber (one of three of her gorgeous daughters) as she was tweeting live backstage as a model at London Fashion Week this year, and whenever we’ve met Yasmin (see below with sip!)…

…she has always been wonderfully turned out and gets more and more achingly beautiful each time we see her! When we heard about her line with Wallis we knew it would ooze everything that makes Yasmin so wonderful - and we were right; mature and chic yet still maintaining an edgy rock & roll feel. Her line features long lean gowns, chic high-neck blouses and a striking vintage-feel jewellery collection that really stands out on the high street at the moment. 

In the Guardian interview she explained; “I’m obsessed with high-neck things. You’re covered up but it’s sexy, and I’ve always loved long dresses. Covering up can be a lot sexier than being uncovered. My body has changed, so feeling comfortable and confident, while accentuating the bits that are OK, is important.”  

She also admitted that she was finding the transition from model to designer daunting but we think the collection is perfect for the modern woman and she looks better than ever modelling it.

As promised you can now check out some of my pics from the Richard Nicoll S/S 2010 catwalk show here:

I got tickets to the fantastic show courtesy of the Independent in association with Blackberry and Carphone Warehouse.

Not only was I greeted with lovely food and drinks each of the winners were given the new Blackberry Curve 8520 in Violet (available exclusively from the Carphone Warehouse on Orange)

The show was packed - and for good reason too, in Spring-Summer 2005, Richard Nicoll showed his first collection as part of the Fashion East sponsorship project during London Fashion Week. Since then, the British-born, Australian-raised designer has gone from strength to strength and is now considered one of London’s most highly-anticipated and talented young designers.When asked what kind of woman hey designs for Nicoll says he is designing for an ‘individual woman who doesn’t follow trends, somebody who is idiosyncratic and slightly eccentric but within the constraints of normal society.’

He used Beach Boys-influenced electronic music, a bit by Animal Collective and then some 60s Garage Rock at the end of the show and received a hugely deserved round of applause and standing ovation as he walked out onto the catwalk at the end of the show.All in all it was a fantastic evening and Nicoll did not disappoint!

You can buy Richard Nicoll from Browns, Net A Porter, Yoox and Polyvore.

sip happy!

London Fashion Week turned 25 this year - and what a celebration it has been! The shows have been fantastic, the coverage gripping and the colour purple signaled as one of the key colours of the season.

In amongst the hype and excitement of LFW I was lucky enough to win a competition with The Independent in association with Blackberry and the Carphone Warehouse - tickets to the wonderful Richard Nicoll a super fashionable purple Blackberry curve phone, some purple tights from Topshop and Nails Inc purple nail polish (its all about purple this season darling!)

Here is a photo of my new Blackberry Curve 8520 Violet phone and limited edition Richard Nicoll blackberry pouch. The show was amazing with Richard getting a HUGE (deserved) round of applause and standing ovation after the show.
