Celebrity Selling Power

Trinny Woodall at the Swarovski Serpentine Gallery Summer Show.Famous celebrities make their mark as fashion early adopters. Whatever Miss Celebrity has, then girls and women want to incorporate into their own fashion persona. Everyone who is interested in looking fashionable, makes an effort now to style themselves with accessories or quirky combinations of clothes. In fact this is what women always did before the dressed down looks of the 90s under the guise of grooming.

Now we say a look is styled, or a person’s look can be improved with a bit of styling. In recent years TV presenters/influencers Trinny Woodall and Susanna Constantine have spouted wardrobe opinions on TV’s ‘What not to Wear’. The TV programme challenges frumps who are locked in a fashion time warp, to a restyling. Over the last decade, the presenters in their turn, have become celebrities.

Alex Perry S-S 08/09 catwalk at RAFW

May 1, 2008 at 6:34 am (Fashion) ()

Alex Perry was one of the latest designers to grace the runway at RAFW today. As well as his usual breath taking floor-length gowns, he showed a cheekier side with animal print mini-dresses and playful white play-suits. There were plenty of sheer fabrics, tulles, embroideries and bows - as always, it’s all in the detail for Mr. Perry.

The full coverage of the Alex Perry runway show is definitely worth a look - as well as some fabulous backstage shots by Wayne.
