P-P-P-Pick up a Peplum!
Originating in the Forties and revived in the Eighties, the peplum was an especially striking feature of Christian Dior’s famous 1947 ‘New Look’ collection. It is perhaps wise to stick to a more Forties style interpretation; any trend which was huge in the Eighties is going to be a tricky one to pull off and ...

Thomas Tait Spring Summer 2012 at Alison Jacques Gallery
When I arrived at the Alison Jacques gallery before the Thomas Tait show, there was quite a throng of people waiting outside, although it appeared that most of the showgoers had already taken to their seats inside the small bisected gallery room.
