I don't know how she does it... Review

SJP in 'I don't know how she does it'
I've been hearing about this movie for the past few months, thanks to numerous articles and promotional features, so to actually go and see it last night felt a bit like an anti-climax.

And that's before I even saw it, because quite honestly I could have waited for it to come out on DVD.

Yes, SJP is back and in a role we haven't really seen her tackle before- but and here's the but- it's the same narrative format as Sex and the City and SJP still has numerous designer clothes and handbags, albeit some of them are covered in spit up.

There were some funny moments, coming mainly from SJP's character Kate's assistant, Momo and her best friend played by the gorgeous Christina Hendricks.

Kate herself does get some humorous moments, as we all know SJP can do comedy (Sex and the City 2 anyone?!) but mainly it falls a bit flat, where it really should succeed.

The idea of whether women can have it all has been explored many times before, but this should have been a movie which updated it for the 21st century and gave us a more realistic heroine.

It's hard to really feel for Kate with her supporting husband and nanny, while holding down a highly paid job in the city where she is respected and admired... yep, so far feeling tones of sympathy.

There were some moments of joy however; when Kate is in full flow describing the thrills of motherhood, only to realise half way through that she has forgotten to pick up her children for example, is very funny and did manage to make me laugh.

The fashion too is quite nice, but it was the bag candy that really caught my eye- how many Mulberry Alexa's did that woman need?! I counted three, but I could have been blindsided by camera angles!

Never would you have seen Mulberry on Carrie and somehow it didn't really suit SJP in this role either- I think a classic LV epi leather Alma would have been much more appropriate.

Still, I'm sure it will prove quite a success- maybe not critically but comercially certainly, as lots of people will be able to identify at least a little bit with Kate.

And lets face it, anything with SJP is cinema gold for us girlies...

Kate Moss smokes on Louis Vuitton runway...

...quite literally as well. The legendary supermodel lit up on the Louis Vuitton catwalk and blew smoke dramatically into the crowd.

Kate Moss was the perfect showgirl in many ways for Marc Jacobs fetish themed show, which included lace up boots, stockings and corsets.

In my opinion it may have topped Chanel in terms of beautifully executed clothing on a catwalk- and that in large is down to Jacobs brilliance.

Every season he just gets it so right. In fact he's the main reason why I love Paris Fashion Week so much.

Ok so I should be backing London, but Paris is just so amazing it totally eclipses everything else that's been before it in my view.

New York is uber cool, London is edgy, Milan is polished and Paris is just pure class all the way.

Clearly this is something Jacobs realises as he also splashed out on high profile supermodels Naomi Campbell, Amber Valetta, Carolyn Murphy and Maria Carla for the show.

Marc Jacobs hearts the fuller figure

Copyright Marc Jacobs AW10

Well well, look who has jumped on the plus sized bandwagon! The ever lovely Marc Jacobs is creating a line for fuller figured females. Hurray!

A name like his carries clout in the fashion industry, so if he’s taking a gamble people will sit up and listen.

That’s not to say that the fashion industry isn’t already aware of little dents in its perfect size zero world. Why, Mark Fast put size 14 models on his runway earlier this year, while Chanel used Crystal Renn for their Resort collection.

Clearly perceptions are changing, or at least trying to be changed by those who want to make clothes for real women.

Look at the likes of Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks- she is majorly hot property at the moment with her curvy figure being the envy of women everywhere.

Then there’s Beyonce, J-Lo and Scarlett Johansson who have never been shy about their womanly figures. Clearly there is a market out there, but lets be honest who looks like any of these ladies in real life?!

I’m all for Marc Jacobs giving this a go- his collection for Louis Vuitton this year was all about voluptuous shapes to celebrate woman and their curves.

And Prada followed suit with 50s style skirts and sleeveless dresses, which made you stop and think- “Hey, I could wear that!" Well, you could if you had a spare £2000…

Anyway, I digress- what do you think- Will this work, or become another failed fashion revolution?
