Do you want to know what’s behind the new ‘recycling’ movement. Its all about individuality and customisation. [One of a kind]. Thank you catwalkfashion.co.uk for the picture.

Read about why consumers are craving the assurance of craft and quality. Read EMC’s trend insight on the trend [New Society].

To find out, read this lifestyle report written by EMC, which gives insight into how luxury brands are becoming more regionalised to keep the luxury goods market at the front of consumer minds both in the West and in the East. EMC, May 2011 – Regionalised Luxury . On Thursday I will be posting up their report on the new lifestyle trend – New Society.

A new perfume called Furever has been launched by UK bingo site, Foxy Bingo!!  The new campaign features Lauren Goodger who is one of the Essex girls who appears in the reality tv show,  The Only Way is Essex.  Can you help me out here, what has a UK bingo site and perfume have in common?

International design, lifestyle and fashion magazine, Wallpaper* has covered the IFTF’s international fur design competition,REMIX, which I take part as a judge.

Blogger – Fashion Foie Gras has put together a fur preview of Michael Kor’s Autumn/Winter 2011-2012 fur garments.  Here is a an example of two of the gorgeous fur garments they have identified for next season.

For the second year in a row, I took part in the jury of REMIX, which is a competition which supports designers working with fur.  See a link to the video.

I have just found an i-phone app for fur fashionistas called FurStyle… It has furry fashion tips, a 3d outfit planner so you can try on stunning fur garments without spending a euro!! I love the function where you can send your outfit to your friends so they can tell you if you it suits you or not without even being with you in the changing room – perfect!!

$2,000, 20,000? That’s nothing compared to probably the worlds most expensive pair of shoes!

It seems that no-one is willing to meet the £140,000 price tag for a pair of House of Borgezie shoes handcrafted from solid gold and encrusted with 2,200 brilliant cut diamonds…..The thing that gets me is they haven’t said what size they are.. If they are size 38.. they might have a customer…..ME!!!!

Imagine these could be my wedding shoes!! Or if not me, I wonder if Kate Middleton would be interested?
