Lily Allen’s Lucy In Disguise Vintage Dresses Collection

I was just reading the piece about Lily Allen’s Lucy in Disguise dresses adventure and I got this crazy idea – remember that Hedi Slimane thought celebrity was the worst thing that can happen to fashion? Now step back and look at the big picture: until not long ago, designers were cutting the fashion bread and spreading it amongst themselves. Only. A closed circle ruled the fashion industry.

Talented people, gifted individuals, undoubtedly, but fashion needed to be liberated! And this happened with the celebrity invasion. Now every celebrity has a stylist and half of them (celebrities and stylists alike) also have a fashion line associated with their name and celeb status. Wha

Top five hair myths
