Skeggings Hit the Fashion Scene

What would you call a convenient fashion garment that combines a skirt with leggings? Why, skeggings of course. A benefit of this new clothing option, pioneered by legwear experts Jonathon Aston, is that the skirt is attached to the leggings, so you know that it will stay in place. Skeggings also allow a very shapely look to be achieved because the skirt is attached seamlessly. We predict they're going to be a big hit, and you can buy the Jonathon Aston skeggings from Tightsplease.

John Lewis Sees Its Future Online

Yesterday we watched the third part of the entertaining BBC documentary "Inside John Lewis", which had extensive coverage of the retailer's online operation, John Lewis Direct. The company very much sees its future in online retailing, and here are the facts and figures we learnt:



- In 2009 John Lewis Direct did around £400m turnover.

- John Lewis Direct makes more money than their biggest real world store, John Lewis Oxford Street, which turns over around £300 million a year.

- With increasing internet access, their website is proving popular with older surfers, as they find it less effort than going to the shops (don't we all!)

- John Lewis sees the biggest expansion potential as being online, and are aiming to be the first bricks and clicks retailer (i.e. has both offline and online operations) that gets to a billion pounds online turnover within the next few years.

- In late 2009 they had online fashion sales targets of £750,000 a week, which they managed to meet. Fashion is seen as a very important sector for them online, and they have revamped their image to appeal to younger consumers as well as their core older market.

- A lot of time and effort can be spent photographing a knitted jumper for the website, so that it gives the right impression and does not look scruffy.

- As with the High Street business, the Managing Director Andy Street sees the business competing online through customer service. He feels he can distinguish the brand online by bringing service into the online selling equation, e.g. through a superior customer delivery service and through bringing John Lewis product expertise online. We ourselves have also noticed that John Lewis often offer superior warranties, e.g. their 5 year warranty on TVs.

- MD Andy Street said of the future of John Lewis, "It will be almost dominated by its online piece, that will become the shop window, the brand leader. It's a really big change in mindset. The role of the business will still be to edit choice and provide recommendations to the customer as to what really suits them."

Why not take a look at the John Lewis website now and see how they're doing.

Lady Gaga Back on Jonathon Ross

So, new pop sensation Lady Gaga was back on Jonathon Ross this Friday, this time wearing a telephone on her head. Well, it was actually a special creation from milliner Philip Treacy. Gaga explained that she had asked him to make the hat for her, so that she would be able to talk to Ross through the phone in case he wasn't nice to her. It's probably true to say that a previous Gaga appearance on the show, when she appeared with a tea cup, was a bit awkward. Apparently Ross took that teacup home, so he'd bought her one back this time.

Lady Gaga told us how she has led a glamourous, art centric life in New York, but she doesn't currently have a house because she's always on the road. Despite her immense success, with her album going diamond (which as Ross confirmed is better than platinum), Gaga feels she's an outcast from the music industry, and says she doesn't have any friends in music industry, only in the fashion industry, where her unique extrovert style has been welcomed with open arms.

Other things we found out about Gaga are that she's not a fan of the slanket (a blanket with sleeves for chilling on the sofa, available from Firebox if you want one), there's no Lord Gaga as she's always too busy and thinks no-one will put up with her craziness, she feels detached from the celebrity world, and didn't speak to anyone at the Brits. We also learnt that when Gaga met the Queen at the Royal Variety performance, the Queen said to her, "That's a very big piano that you have", (the piano she used was suspended above the stage and had giant space alien-like legs).

Lady Gaga also said she would like to work with David Bowie, but she doesn't really like to talk about her own pop idols.
