Hedi Slimane photographed Georgia May Jagger for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar US recently and I couldn’t help but think how much those photos reminded me of Jerry Hall – Georgia’s model mama. Mama Hall seems to have passed along a few trade secrets to her baby girl. See more Georgia: Rimmel London’s Honky [...]

It had been a very British week to begin with. With Toronto being inundated by a Brit Invasion (of the fashion variety), I found my thoughts wavering across the pond day after day. I couldn’t help it. I flew to London. [Okay, so there was another reason - but you'll have to wait for that [...]

The Star of India. That’s how they Rolled in Rajkot. The Royce was the choice for a regal’s roadster. Western luxury was no match for the cash and cachet of the courtly cluster.
