Baywatch Star at Auckland Fashion Week
... about clothes, the big news is more about what’s not being worn than what is – particularly with respect to Baywatch babe turned fashion designer, Pamela Anderson.
Flown in from Hollywood as the star attraction for fashion Week, organisers should have known Pam wouldn’t let them down! Well, that depends on your point of view of course, because if you came to see the latest in chic then Anderson turning up in just a scarf could have been a bit of a let down – almost in...

As a self-proclaimed shopaholic, living in Hong Kong has its many perks. Observing the busy city streets alone is proof enough of how fashion dominates us. Sales and special store events occur practically every month. And the variety of clothes, shoes and bags that you will find is mind blowing for the average shopper.
One of my favourite designer stores is On Pedder, located in Central. Just receiving their store e-mail blasts gets me excited (fashion geek much?). Why? I hear you asking. On Pedder...

A FREE Stroll on the Champs-Élysées
... give you a feel for the vibrancy of the area. Take a look at the window displays and observe what people are wearing – it will give you a free fashion lesson. Pop into a shop and take a closer look, and you’ll see styles that will show up in the US in a couple of years. Look for a cheap variation of the same, and you’ll be a fashion plate ahead of your time.
Interspersed between all the luxury stores, are a few basic chains. So if saying “I got this on the Champs-Élysées” is...

Tabio – socks and drugs and rock and roll!
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
Okay, maybe not drugs – but certainly socks with a rock and roll attitude!
This time of year my legs start getting cold. Tights are not enough. And trousers are boring. So Tabio is your answer – socks, dayglo tights, and leg warmers to die for.
I particularly liked the angora bed socks and furry leg warmers – something a bit different. Patterned socks aren’t so much my thing, but they have a good selection of those, too, as well as lots of over knee socks, plain, ribbed or even decorated...
