Cult girls jewellery brand Molly Brown London is launching a Care and Advice section on its website. The stylish website which houses some of the most desirable designer girls’ jewellery available on the virtual shelves has added a helpful and informative section, which will no doubt prove to be extremely useful for customers. The Care and Advice area offers specific sections dealing with the care of various precious metals, gemstones and pearls.

The Pearl Care Section focuses on the care of freshwater pearls and advises on cleaning and the best way to store pearls. The Silver Care section again, offers helpful advice on cleaning 925 sterling silver and ways of avoiding silver tarnishing.

Particular care should be taken when cleaning stones and gemstone jewellery too and so the Gemstone Care section is extremely pertinent; particularly since this super stylish brand only uses coloured gemstones within its collections - you won’t find any costume jewellery here!

The Gold Care section underlines how important it is not to wear gold jewellery in swimming pools; so please make sure that any little Molly Brown fans carefully remove any jewellery before jumping in and store their necklaces and bracelets in a safe place.

The Molly Brown Collections feature many enamel charms and enamel and sterling silver charms and so it is useful to know also how to care for enamel pendants and enamel necklaces as well.

As well as offering jewellery care information, Molly Brown has added a Sizing Section. This section provides guidelines when buying necklaces and bracelets for girls of all ages. Molly Brown London offers 14”, 16”, 18” and a new 32” chain and advises on the age groups that are most suitable for each length chain. Similarly with its’ silver bracelets, small and large sizes are available to suit most ages.

The Size Guide has been introduced as a direct result of the wide ranging appeal of the simple, sophisticated and very classic style of Molly Brown jewellery. The online store offers a fantastic Gift Guide, so if you are searching for a christening gift for a girl, there is an excellent selection of beautiful christening jewellery to choose f r o m. Similarly mollybrownlondon.com is a destination website for soon-to-be brides searching for ideal bridesmaids gifts; the beautiful bridesmaid jewellery found within the Bridesmaids Gift Guide would make a perfect ‘thank you’ present for any bridesmaid or flower girl.

Abigail Keats officially opens her exclusive flagship boutique in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa at the new Nedbank Building on 29 June 2010.

This is a progressive and exciting development for this young and talented designer, who has been highly acclaimed over the past 3 years through her participation in the Audi, Johannesburg and Arise Africa Fashion weeks and who currently offers a well sought after private client service.

“The launch of my own label and establishment of an exclusive boutique is part of my long term goal of establishing an internationally acclaimed label that is proudly South African”.

Keats who was recently identified by the Mail and Guardian survey, as one of “200 Young South Africans you must take to lunch—” says “I am greatly encouraged and inspired by the many young South African entrepreneurs who are taking up the challenge of starting small businesses and who, I believe, are the future backbone of our country. This dynamic cyber networked family is developing a whole new approach in the form of personal sharing and co-operative business relationships”.

She continues “It is however not easy to start a new venture in these times and the supporting roll of Government and Established Business is crucial in providing constructive mechanisms to help the young generation on their entrepreneurial journey.” Keats, who has been invited by the Department of Arts and Culture to showcase her brand, representing South Africa in October at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, says “this is an example of an excellent initiative by the South African Government to promote awareness and business opportunities for young South Africans. She concludes, “Of course, the ultimate requirement is that the South African public recognizes and supports our young South African Businesses”

Keats describes what her clients can expect… “Abigail Keats is an exclusive contemporary fashion label, which caters to women who look to infuse style, glamour and sophistication into their wardrobes and lifestyle. It embodies bespoke fashion and draws inspiration from both the contemporary and the classical”. She expands further… “My designs offer something special for all occasions and whether one chooses from the latest seasonal collection, Prêt-à-Porter range or indulges in once off designs tailored to individual specifications, superb attention to detail, fit and quality is assured through my personal attention.”

As spring moves toward summer it’s time to shed some layers but keep an eye open for those inevitable showers. Webtogs present a selection of versatile and stylish seasonal outdoor clothing f r o m leading brands The North Face and Merrell.

The North Face Peregrine Jacket is ideal for changing seasons with its hybrid performance and design. The combination of Windstopper Softshell with Apex Aerobic inserts keeps April showers and cold nights at bay whilst remaining breathable as spring gives way to summer.

Nothing signifies the change of season more than the convertible pant, and the Paramount Peak Convertible Pant is a superb example of the versatility of good design and fabric choice. Abrasion resistant and UV resistant the full length trousers are ideal for trekking or just walking the dog, but if the sun does make an appearance the lower legs zip off to give a pair of stylish ten-inch shorts.

The perfect compliment for convertible pants, The North Face’s long sleeved Ventilation Shirt is as good on the British hills as an expedition to Africa. With built in UV protection and a handy double up collar the Ventilation Shirt is designed to make walking in warm climates comfortable. Smart enough to wear out on the town but abrasion resistant and quick drying the Ventilation Shirt also uses strategically placed mesh panels at the yoke, sides and underarm to maintain a comfortable temperature.

With the snows of winter a fading memory and it’s time to drop the heavy boots and look for some lightweight, comfortable, footwear for the hardening terrain of summer. Merrell have an enviable reputation for producing supremely comfortable and durable approach shoes ideal for the British summer, yet protective enough to handle spring showers.

The Merrell Intercept shoe is a classic shoe that combines classic comfort, style and function with a combination of Nubuck leather and synthetic materials on a sticky rubber Vibram sole. Using Air Cushion technology and an anatomical footbed the Intercept will give day-long comfort, with the sticky rubber sole with 4.5mm deep lugs taking care of grip on almost any surface.

MensJacket.org.uk has announced its new line of 2010 spring jackets featuring a classic collection of masculine outerwear ready to perform.

This year’s jackets for men are designed for the on-the-go lifestyle. Function is essential. Today’s man wants to look sharp but demands performance from his jacket and he expects all the elements to be in place. Subtle tones and active cuts can be found from almost all of the top men’s designers.

“This season’s look is grounded, it is both relaxed and athletic; there’s nothing pretentious or frivolous in these style. This no-nonsense feel seems to unite the entire line of jackets. Although many styles are inspired from past seasons, flashy and gimmicky details are hard to find this year.”

The Green Movement is definitely influencing men’s fashions. The colour pallet and functional designs all reflect earth-friendly trends. Earth tones are increasingly popular with khaki, deep browns, and muted greens taking centre stage. These popular colours continue the theme of the let’s get down to business style. Although black is still popular, it is taking a back seat to the forest shades.

“Many jackets are 100% natural fibre and we expect this trend to continue into the future. Jackets from designers like Peter Werth and Original Penguin offer a range of all cotton and natural fibre blends. Wool blends are always on demand and organic fibres are just beginning to be seen in jackets.”

Branding on jackets tends to be less obvious then on jeans and shirts, and that’s especially true this season. Logos are most commonly found above the front chest pocket but you can also spot them on the back, along the bottom or tagged on the side. Even though the brands may be a little harder to spot, all the big names offer jackets in 2010.

Promgirl.net the largest Internet retailer of prom dresses and gowns, formal and cocktail dresses introduces the virtual video technology to help online shoppers choose their prom dress of their dream.

One of the problems of shopping on line for prom dresses and eveningwear has been the limited possibility to assess how the prom dress or cocktail dress would fit the prom girl shopper.

Therefore, the apparel shoppers often preferred to walk into a brick and mortar store and try the prom dresses in person.

The online shopper had no information of how the dress would look on her and had to rely on pictures advertised over the Internet that usually use professional models wearing the prom dresses.

By using the new technology Promgirl introduces, the online shopper will be able to see the video of a model that has similar physical dimensions with the shopper.

The decision to purchase the formal or cocktail dresses and the prom dresses 2010 is now made easier due to the ease of watching videos with models who have similar shapes and sizes with the on line shopper.

Promgirl.net carries a large variety of Jovani prom dresses 2010, Tony Bowls formal dresses and eveningwear, Mori Lee prom and quinceanera gowns Clarisse formal gowns and cocktail dresses and Terani pageant dresses.

Equally at home on the high street or the hillside the Merrell Intercept is a classic shoe with a distinctive Merrell touch. From its stylish leather upper to an AEGIS Antimicrobial lining the Intercept is a shoe designed to perform day in day out in comfort . An Ortholite anatomical footbed adapts to caress the feet for day long pleasure, with a Nylon 6.6 injection moulded arch shank and air cushion midsole to provide support and flexibility whatever the terrain. A classic Vibram sole with 4.5mm lug depth and sticky rubber give the Intercept the grip to complement its stylish looks and comfort.

Designed specifically for women, the Merrell Siren Sync uses a triple density compression moulded EVA footframe and an air cushion midsole to make a shoe with comfort as a priority.

Following the Brownie motto of ‘Be Prepared’, the Unique Autumn Winter 2010 outerwear has been designed to be protective and functional, whilst luxurious fake furs and delicate chiffons evoke a woodland wildlife feel.

“The inspiration was looking at two elements. One was going camping in the woods and then once you are in the woods it almost goes into a twisted Narnia type environment”, commented Jacqui Markham, Topshop Joint Head of Design. “There’s 30 designers in the team and they just bring to the table all their different ideas, and we try and create a bit of a theme, a bit of a hook, that we can tailor the collection around.”

Defending against the elements, saddle brown battered leather parkas are cosy with quilted linings and shrunken waxed cotton jackets in uniform blue and khaki brown appear in a swing shape and cropped gilet. Duffle coats and trenches keep out the cold with reversed sheepskin linings on the outside of the body and voluminous wool scarves and cable knit socks offering an extra layer of warmth. Berry coloured corduroy tailoring with leather panelling gives a modern twist on traditional countrywear, whilst loden green wools in a boxy jacket, pencil skirt and short shorts look more rugged and are adorned with Girl Guide inspired award badges. Old fashioned pyjama-esque striped slouchy cotton trousers and shirts continue the idea of a camping trip in the wilderness.

Practical details feature throughout; skirts have suspender strapping, belts have release buckles and sheepskin bags secured by harnesses have old-fashioned binoculars and torches as charms. Canvas and leather lace-up boots are sturdy with multiple buckles and detachable ankle covers and mini pouches.

Offsetting the utility/survival feel of the collection, prints and fabrics are heavily influenced by woodland creatures and nature. The sumptuous teddy bear fur coat is reminiscent of a grizzly bear, fluffy mittens are paw-like, and shoe boots are adorned with tufts of sheepskin. In contrast, soft chiffon blouses and dresses with hand-crafted crochet and lace panels conjure up an image of a warped fantasy world full of woodland nymphs and fairies. Mushrooms, clovers and twigs are scattered across jersey vests whilst wild wolves, deers, rabbits and owls hide within the camouflage ‘Woodland print’ but stand out in their full glory as headdresses.

Karen Bonser, Topshop Head of Design, said, “To be at London Fashion Week alongside so many credible and talented designers, it’s a great thing for Topshop to be able to do and to support British fashion.”

Topman Design has announced that it will be showcasing its Autumn/Winter 2010 collection as a solo show in February’s London Fashion Week.

Topman Design has previously displayed new collections as part of the increasingly successful MAN event which Topman set up alongside Fashion East 10 seasons ago. This will be the first time since MAN’s conception in 2005 that Topman Design has not shown as part of the initiative.

Gordon Richardson, Design Director at Topman said: “Our decision to show separately from MAN this season has been welcomed by both the MAN and the Menswear Panel who collectively agree that it is the right time for us. We have established a consistent design ethic and have a good following which gives us the confidence we need to move on and allow MAN to continue to nurture new young talent which is, after all, its purpose.”

The decision to progress Topman Design out of MAN comes on the 5th anniversary of the showcase which aims to source and nurture young menswear talent. Both Topman Design and MAN will be part of the second official full day scheduled for London Fashion Week menswear which has received great acclaim in putting menswear firmly back on the British map.

Charlie Porter, deputy editor of Fantastic Man magazine and Menswear Panel member, commented: “It’s so exciting that Topman Design has grown to the position where it deserves its own show. By teaming up with MAN, it proved that menswear should have a slot on the London Fashion Week schedule. Now that we have a whole menswear day, it’s brilliant that both Topman Design and MAN get the chance to shine on their own.”

About Topman:

WOMbat, the UK’s leading ethically-sourced adventure clothing retailer, has announced it’s giving hundreds of pounds worth of clothes away for free.

The Cheshire-based company sells a wide range of tough outdoor clothing from hoodies to wellies and critically, cares how its clothes are made and the effect they have on the environment. In a bid to find other people who share the same ideals, WOMbat is asking like minded adventure lovers to make themselves known.

The team at WOMbat know full well they would rather be climbing a mountain or paddling a river than filling in a form. So, in order to tempt adventurous types to give up a few minutes of their outdoor time and fill in their details on the website, they’re giving away £250 worth of vouchers.

Everyone who signs up at WOMbat’s website between now and May 31 will be entered into the prize draw and have the chance to get their hands on hundreds of pounds worth of adventure clothing, absolutely free.

WOMbat’s Victoria Tingey said: “Our business is based on providing tough, well-made adventure clothing to people who love the outdoors and want to look good whether they’re hanging off a rock or jumping out of a plane.

“To make sure no one in the supply chain has poor working conditions or is exploited, we only stock ethical clothing from trusted suppliers and manufacturers. We also make sure our clothing doesn’t hurt the environment, which is why over half our stock is either fair trade clothing or made from organic materials.

London based Orlebar Brown, in collaboration with Monocle Magazine, have launched two limited edition versions of their classic tailored, mid-length Bulldog swimming shorts.

These exclusive luxury swim shorts are available in two different shades of green; the bright and eye catching “Green Flash” and the darker, more mysterious “Spirulina”.

Both share the classic features that have made Orlebar Brown shorts the must-have addition to discerning wardrobes, though the colour scheme and the Monocle hip tag are only to be found on this highly limited edition run.

Only three hundred of each style of shorts have been created, and news of this special collaboration has already spread fast. The shorts are solely available on the internet, from the Orlander Brown website and from Monocle online. Other stockists will not be carrying these styles.

Green has been marked as the “it” colour for 2010 – not only does the colour represent renewal and new growth (recently of course it has also become the symbol for the environment), but it is also the easiest colour for the eye to see, which results in its restful, comforting qualities.

Orlebar Brown expect that their limited edition run of classic tailored swim shorts in two different shades of green will combine the timeless style that their shorts embody with the colour hotly tipped to define this year.

Each pair of shorts is available via the Orlebar Brown website, and from Monocle Online, priced at £125.
