..and so should you. Only hours left. Go, go, go!

View Article  Welcome to Candyland

For me, it was Flying Saucers. Or Rhubarb and Custards. Of course, these days my diet requires a little more chocolate content than that, but back in the day it was the pastel-coloured sweets that formed the foundation of my 10p mix.

Now, thanks to 20-year-old Josh Wayman's creations under his label Kandee, I think I'm about to revert to my high-sugar childhood.

His collection, Created in Candyland, features shoes that are all inspired by various sweetie delights.

Exhibit A - the Fruit Belts Heels (£99.99):

..or B, the Peppermint Creams (also £99.99):

Take a look at the Kandee range on Catwalk Genius and savour the taste, without any of the calories.

View Article  Merit Badge

Our faves Vauxhall Fashion Scout have announced their Merit Award Winner for SS10:

David Koma is one of Central Saint Martin's alumni, having graduating from his MA course there in March of this year.

He'll get a show of his own at VFS, along with the support he'll need to make the most of the inevitable attention that this achievement will get him; William Tempest scooped the prize last season as part of his meteoric rise to prominence.

Welcome to fashion week, Mr Koma! I've a feeling you'll do rather well.
