Once labelled the 'King of Cling', Azzedine Alaïa made his name covering, but certainly not hiding, the female form. Immortalised in popular film by Cher Horowitz as "like, a totally important designer", Pennie pays tribute to the man who adorned the body of every nineties 'somebody' from Stephanie Seymour to Grace Jones.
The second installment of Penelope's look at the vanity and value of hair dye. What is the subtle but ever-so-seeming-important difference between being platinum blonde and going grey?
Part one of a two part series, Penelope's delving into the follicular follies of hair dye. The earliest examples date much farther back than your memories of Sun-Indo, and have some pretty crunchy cultural associations to boot.
Just in time for Halloween, Penelope introduces us to The Vampire's Wife, the high-necked couture of supermodel-turned-designer Susie Cave (née Bick). Yes, that Susie Cave.
Just what makes a model 'super'? Is the creation of a personal brand simply savvy business? Who were considered the first 'supermodels' and, more importantly, considered the most notorious?
Everyone smells. It's just whether or not it's on purpose, right? Innocent to the knowledge that perfume is one of Mike's specialist subjects, Penelope starts a scent-based conversation with that olfactory classic: Chanel No.5.
