Fashion & Words by Sara Li-Chou Han

Fur may be fabulous, but by sticking to vintage, faux and livestock skins, such as leather and sheepskin, you can look good and feel good about your choices too. Feathers provide a welcome alternative to newly produced real fur and add textural glamour. Team fur and feathered pieces with rubber, PVC and leather to give a tough edge to soft textures. Keeping warm has never looked so hot!

Jo-Emma Lavin.

The plush surroundings of the Malmaison was the perfect place to photograph the gorgeous Jo-Emma. Quoted to be, by her world boxing champion husband Joe Calzaghe (BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2007) the inspiration to win all his fights. Do you blame him?The shoot was self styled and the make-up by myself and Jo-Emma.
