The lovely Sophie Ellis-Bextor clearly loves both great design and mockumentary, being as she chose to wear a piece by Jojo and Malou at the recent London premiere of Sacha Baron-Cohen's Bruno movie.

Looking good, Ms E-B! You can buy from Jojo and Malou's shop here on Catwalk Genius.

We spotted some great news on Tour de Force's blog the other day. Designer Camille has only gone and won the "Milli-naire" competition for hat design at Royal Ascot!

That's Camille in the winning design, plus Lisa Snowden who was dishing out awards. Nicely done, Camille!

You can shop the Tour de Force line on Catwalk Genius.

It's great when you know the story behind the clothes that you wear; where they were made, whether they were a labour of love or just plain hard labour and of course, who designed them.

Modern technology means that these days, you can get to know the personality behind the collections as more and more designers are taking their thoughts to Wordpress.

Some of the Catwalk Genius designers who regularly pop up in my RSS reader are:

Fred Butler - as well as charting her meteoric rise on the London fashion scene, the colourful accessories designer always has interesting news and interviews with some very cool friends, employees and idols. See Fred's exclusive design for Catwalk Genius.

Tour de Force - Camille, the designer behind the brilliant hair accessories label, has a great eye for the beautiful and unusual. The blog asks some interesting questions about fashion and art, while entertaining at the same time. View the Tour de Force Catwalk Genius shop.

 Kelly Love - the talented designer of sumptuous eveningwear and lingerie has a brand spanking new blog that has already seen activity at Australian Fashion Week, as well as giving a behind-the-scenes peek at her design work. Shop Kelly's collection on Catwalk Genius.

Stansfield - the uber-cool menswear designers who have created some unisex pieces for Catwalk Genius discuss the inspiration behind their work and give fans sneak previews of what's to come on their blog.

It's that time of year again where the smell of student fear infuses the air and the critics gather to raise a quizzical eyebrow/applaud generously as they see fit.

The last week saw Central Saint Martins BA show, lookey:

L-R: L'Oreal Professional winner Marie Hill, then runners up Dean Quinn and Luke Brooks.

That was followed closely by the London College of Fashion grad show:

L-R: Collection of the Year winner Hoi Lam Wong; Alicija Aputye, who won a textiles award; Alice Morton.

From Sunday, Graduate Fashion Week kicks off and the rest of the fashion grads can show off their skills.
