BILL CUNNINGHAM: Street Snapper
Posted by Matchesfashion writer: Heath Brown February 14th, 2012
Next week sees the release of a new documentary film dedicated to the legendary New York Times fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham. Now aged 81 the spritely Cunningham has been documenting the street style of New York for the last 50 years concentrating on the quirky and interesting rather than the rich and famous.

TERRY DE HAVILLAND’S NEW HEIGHTS
Posted by Matchesfashion writer: David Hayes January 10th, 2012
Terry de Havilland's Margaux wedges sandals in pink metalic snakeskin
‘It was great when the Matches’ team came to the studio,’ says Liz de Havilland, shoe maestro Terry de Havilland’s right hand woman and missus of 21 years. ‘Matches picked out two of Terry’s all time classic designs; styles that are totally Terry, totally undiluted, in the colours and snakeskins we love.’
Those styles are the Luna and the Margaux to be precise. The Luna, which originally went by the less romantic name of the Multi-patch, is from 1973, and the Margaux, named after model/actress Margaux Hemingway, from 1975. ‘We brought them back in 2005 and they just won’t go away,” jokes Terry. “We are now in to the fourteenth season with them and they sell and sell.’

We’re sensing a mood for some seriously smile-inducing jewels – well, we all need for a bit of post-Christmas cheer don’t we? And following Warner Bros release of the first images of Baz Luhrman’s The Great Gatsby, we’re taking our lead from Daisy Buchanan.

We can expect Carey Mulligan’s drop earrings, deco-inspired designs and a 1920′s more-is-more attitude to be making a sparkly splash for 2012. Royal favourite Kiki McDonough and Dicha Decades earrings have the shoulder dusting styles du jour with a nostalgic elegance. Perfect with a little black drop-waist dress for a 20′s-inspired look. We’ve been thinking about what Daisy might like to pile on for an exclusive party over in East Egg…
Ex-model behaviour – Jan Ahlgren
Posted by Matchesfashion writer: Stevie Brown December 14th, 2011
We caught up with the Swedish-born former model turned fashion-house founder to tell us about his label and what makes him tick. Jan Ahlgren is available now at Matches.

Tell us about how your career has evolved through fashion?
It was never my intention to become a model, I don’t think many men grow up dreaming about becoming a model, but I was very lucky to do campaigns for Chanel, Lanvin and lots of big brands. I always had a big interest in design, particularly interior design but then it moved into fashion design. From the experience and knowledge I had gained I wanted to create my label by bringing in an elite team.
