Styley Mums

Elle UK November 1995

Yasmin Le Bon, Simon Le Bon, Saffron Le Bon, Amber Le Bon and Tallulah Le Bon

Years ago I saw this editorial in ELLE magazine, of Yasmin LeBon and her 3 daughters, and I thought "WOW. That's totally going to be me when I have kids!" Little did I know that motherhood isn't quite that glam - but you can certainly still have fun with fashion even as a brand new mum. No need to retire into trackies and uggs! (Well, unless at home, when it is definitely a leggings/trackies/uggs kind of environment for every day housework and baby-wrangling!) This Autumn I am definitely being inspired by these fashionable new mums. (Well, Kate & Victoria are not so new - but I couldn't leave my favourite fashion icons out, could I?)

Supermodel riot!

I grew up during the birth of supermodels. I adored them all - Cindy, Christy, Helena, Kate, Lindy, Amber, Yasmin, Naomi. Over the last year it seems to be a bigger renaissance than ever of the 'original girls', with Eva Herzagova, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Yasmin le Bon and Naomi Campbell (above) all appearing in Duran Duran's Girl Panic video (check it out here - fabulous!) and Kate Moss continuing to appear in countless campaigns and editorials. Looking at these shots from 2010 and 2011, it shows that these 40+ sirens are still giving the latest ingenues a run for their money!
