Loewe has had its eye on Penelope Cruz for a while, specifically targetting the ‘most famous woman in Spain’ as the face of their new campaign. It helps that she’s smokin’ hot too.

Posted on by M in Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Not since Marmite has anyone divided this much opinion. But it seems no one can make up their mind about singer Lana del Rey. The fashion industry love her – cue Vogue cover, Mulberry bag the ‘Del Rey’, and front row access guaranteed. Others, who think she’s just a fake reinventing herself over and over again to achieve fame, are not so convinced.
