http://runninginheels.co.uk/articles/paris-haute-couture-autumn-winter-2009/ The Stars As ever, the front rows were as packed with Academy Awards winners and nominees as the credits for a box office smash. Many of them looked every inch the face of the brands, but then again many of them were. Spotted: Marion Cotillard at Dior, Cate Blanchett and Megan Fox at Armani Privé and Mickey Rourke at Gaultier (watching from the fifth row to avoid the paparazzi frenzy…) These were, however, couture shows, and the real stars were on the catwalk, starting with Chanel Iman who walked exclusively for Dior. The super of the week, both on the catwalks and the magazine covers was Lara Stone.

Running In Heels | Meet Nathan Jenden

One of Jenden's recent designs Two days after his very colourful London Fashion Week show , Nathan Jenden, creative director for Diane Von Furstenberg and the designing vision behind his namesake label , sat down with Fashion Business Club members to discuss his career. Jenden was born in England and studied at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Arts. He then spent three years in Paris, working for Galliano and Kenzo. “French people are not the easiest to work with” he said, remembering very hierarchical ateliers and a business which “wasn’t really about fashion”. Slightly frustrated with France, Jenden moved to New York. http://runninginheels.co.uk/articles/nathan-jenden/
Janet Street-Porter has made a name as a straight-talking media executive. She has appeared in numerous reality-TV shows and edited The Independent on Sunday for two years. She has five books under her belt, including her memoirs and a foreword to a recent edition of Incest , by the Marquis de Sade. You’ll probably find her latest opus under the ‘Self-Help’ section in book stores, but Life… is not your average rule book. Street-Porter has an opinion on about everything in life, ranging from fashion (‘White clothes were invented so the Daily Mail could print pictures of well-known women on holidays looking like total trollops in their sun wear’) to careers. http://runninginheels.co.uk/articles/review-lifes-too-fing-short-janet-street-porter/

Running In Heels | mystyle

http://runninginheels.co.uk/articles/mystyle-9/ Do you have a devastating sense of style that would turn Anna Piaggi’s head or inspire John Galliano to seek you out for his next muse? Do you scrutinise the pictures on Face Hunter or The Sartorialist and think “Hmm…she has great style, I’d like to know more about her”? It’s clichéd, but people on the street are so inspirational – seeing someone in a great pair of boots, an amazing vintage blazer or doing something interesting with layering, I love experimenting with other people’s looks and adapting them for my own shape and style. Where do you shop?

Pearltrees research

A new web paradigm: Pearltrees

The reason is that I have been discussing a similar concept around me for a few months – without taking any serious step towards implementing it -. So here I was, contemplating the execution of the idea and going through a range of emotions when I discovered in more details the way they designed the application. Not to mention the irony of their being French. After using it for a few days, I believe Pearltrees could change the way we browse the web. No less.

Maitresse: Amélie Nothomb and the country of never

The latest issue of Tim House features an interview with Amélie Nothomb, by the magazine's Paris editor, Heather Hartley. In between talking about Rilke, writing as pregnancy, and the importance of boredom, Hartley asks Nothomb about her concept of being a jamaisien -- a state of being without country, of having never had a country, that struck me as an interesting way of looking at a familiar problem. Here's the passage:

Clients From Hell

The client started yelling at me for not checking what I was posting (I’m a tech, not a proofreader), making sloppy mistakes, and not doublechecking issues. After starting and stopping development once already on a complex educational website, our client finally gave us the go-ahead to develop the site completely. A month after work had begun, we received the following email: Client: We have been reviewing our user situation and are unsure whether many of them will have internet access. Could you supply the website on a CD? "I think we need to take this flyer in a less colorful, more serious direction.
