At this year’s Brit Awards, despite the ladies showing off fantastic quirky looks, the guys seemed to reign in the style stakes with numerous different […]
Illustration: Venla Valve Daria Sergeeva, Correspondent (Fashion) As you have probably noticed many girls are fond of cropped tops now. Any kind can be found in the shops: from a summer cropped shirt to a warm cropped jumper. Sometimes it is worth it to buy one if you can match it with something suitable but in other cases you see a girl and you say: “Oh, no, I don’t want to look like this.” […]

Chang Mei Yen, Correspondent (Fashion) The star-studded American Hustle, appearing at the tail-end of 2013, is already winning accolades for its well-rounded performance. But much of its quirkiness and appeal is conveyed by its portrayal of fashion in the 1970s – the good, the bad, and the ugly. American Hustle is a movie that is unusually frank about how fashion could be less than eye-candy. Not everything about fashion in the 1970s is chic, as […]
