Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt and the rest of The Mighty Boosh cast helped Stella McCartney switch on the Christmas lights at her London store last night! Dressed in drag, Noel and Julian performed songs with the rest of their Boosh band, but — as you can tell — they weren't wearing Stella's clothing line. The woman of the night was, however.

Recently, after seeing a picture of doe-eyed, pixie-sporting Ginnifer Goodwin, I've had gamines on the brain. Characteristics often associated with gamine women include pixie hairstyles, short, straight-across bangs, bobbed hairstyles, wide eyes, petite features, boyish qualities, and a bit of what you might call a certain je ne sais quoi. Check out some famous gamine stars — from both past and present — right now.

Yesterday's Burberry show saw the most star-studded front row of London Fashion Week, with British stars like Victoria Beckham, Alexa Chung, Agyness Deyn, Emma Watson and Daisy Lowe rubbing shoulders with American fashionistas including Mary-Kate Olsen, Liv Tyler and Gwyneth Paltrow. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were adorable holding hands next to Alexa, while Emma and Gwyneth had a laugh together. Victoria kept a serious face as she watched the show, and described the collection as "fantastic" and added that she'd "had a lot of fun".

It should go without saying that the desire to look your best in a photograph is innate, but to what extent does a little retouching here and softening there constitute as too much? That's just what members of the British Parliament are asking, particularly after a heavily retouched image of Twiggy, the face of Olay Definity, surfaced. Interestingly, the majority of you said you do or would Photoshop yourself to look better.

Step back in time with me to the beginnings of affordable fashion, the time of the miniskirt, Mary Quant and Twiggy. It was the era when the Kings Road and Carnaby Street were swinging, well, almost! This short video below brings together some of the key styles of the 1960s as models dance around in thigh skimming mini skirts and swing coats.

Lesley Hornby, or Twiggy as she is better known, is one of my favourite models of all time. She was one of the key faces of the swinging '60s and continues to appear in ad campaigns today. Imagine how excited I was then to discover that London's National Portrait Gallery are to dedicate an entire exhibit to her, and it's completely free!

Long gone are days when models became washed up before their 30th birthdays. Take "the big six" of the '90s, for instance, whose varied careers have withstood the test of time. Also take note of Twiggy, the waifish model who became the face of the '60s while still in her teenage years.

Did you know that it is currently official National Model Week? Well it is, and the event was kicked off by Coco Rocha, so to mark the occasion I will be looking back at some of the biggest models from the 20th century to the current day. Today I will begin with the swinging 1960s, which is one of my favourite eras of history.
