McQ by Alexander McQueen ruched pleat cardigan
Grey cardigans are a bit of an obsession for me, and with reason. The colour looks great with neutrals or brights and it makes the perfect unobtrusive cover-up.This grey cardigan from Alexander McQueen's McQ range has got an asymmetric fastening with ruching detail. The detailing is subtle enough for everyday wear buta bit more interesting than your average cardie. Available from Asos for £215 it's the kind of item that will give you a sense of class and smart with minimum effort.

New Fashion Show for BBC 2: 'British Style Genius'
Kate Moss with Sir Philip GreenThe onslaught of fashion-oriented TV programming continues with the announcement that BBC Two will soon be screening a style series of their own.
First off, we have Channel 4's Gok's Fashion Fix, the upcoming Frock Me! with Alexa Chung for T4, Abbey Clancey's The Fashion Project with Geroge Lamb for ITV2, and now British Style Genius for BBC Two.
It's like TV land just woke up one day and realised that there is a mass-market audience who like clothes.
Well, for a starters it is a documentary format, which examines how style in Britain has been influenced and shaped by the many different trends over the years. It will look at all the varying aspects from high street to high-end couture, from Savile Row tailoring to "chav", exploring what makes the British sense of style of today so unique from the rest of the world. It will also feature contributions from Twiggy, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and Kate Moss who will appear in meetings with Topshop boss Sir Philip Green, and trying on clothes.

Nick Knight and Beth Ditto collaborate on political fashion film
From fashion djs to fashion politics, all this week SHOWstudio have been screening political fashion films, featuring a mix of art, fashion industry folks and celebrities. Their final film is the work of two of my favourite people, Nick Knight and Beth Ditto, who have teamed up to create a film titled Feminist. As the name suggests, it is a motto that The Gossip singer embodies to a tee.
The film focusses on Ditto's physique - a subject of regular comment, and larger-than-life personality which is rooted in self-belief and confidence.
Check out the film by clicking here - and admire Beth as she dances and sways in Alexander McQueen and Christopher Kane.

Nick Knight's 'Fashion Deejays' spinning the decks at SHOWstudio
Fashion photographer Nick Knight and his super-stylin' pals are hitting the decks for a special three-day online audio presentation.

Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen appears to be going from strength-to-strength at the moment, with a new boutique in New York, and Sarah Jessica Parker wearing one of his designs to the SATC: the movie première.
The British designer has also announced that he will relaunch his memorable ad campaigns for his main collection this autumn.
FWD reports that he has recruited fellow Brit Alice Gibb to front the campaign. The 17-year-old model opened his spring/summer '08 show (pictured left) and will appear in the first McQueen campaign since 2003. For the last few seasons, the designer has focussed on advertising for his younger line, McQ.
McQueen Vs Hilton
Alexander McQueen has never been one to mince words. Opening his new store in celebrity-crazy Los Angeles, he's made it quite clear the clientele he is anticipating doesn't include Paris Hilton and friends, telling media if the heiress is thinking of coming past the boutique, he hopes "she'll keep on walking".
"If she comes past the shop, hopefully she'll just keep walking. I don't really covet that sort of thing. I'm not too fond of these openings, I find them quite superficial," said McQueen. "The people who wear McQueen wear it because they want to wear it, not because it's the new thing in town."
Although his designs have been seen on everyone from Victoria Beckham to Sienna Miller to Katie Holmes. this isn't the first time the designer has made it known his aversion to celebrity. Last year he told US Harper's Bazaar: "I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing because I think it's just crass. I work with people who I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are."
"It's not about celebrity; that would show a lack of respect for the work, for everyone working on the shows, because when the pictures come out it's all about who's in the front row. What you see in the work is the person itself. And my heart is in my work."
