Fashion Trend S/S

Blue is back! And is the new black in the fashion world. This is true because my Smarties tub of ice-cream says so! The sweet made a comeback February of this year after a bombardment of Facebook fans persuaded Nestle to find an alternative colouring that’s now made out of seaweed.

The sweetie blues have travelled on to new highs from a wintry bluster and sprung into springs new seasons colour in the fashion world. I received an email from Topshop today telling me that blue was popular this season, and it only occurred to me when I was tucking into my ice-cream- Blue really is back! 

After some research I found that some six months ago Mr. Christopher Kane paraded his denim delights and bright-idea blues down his Spring/summer catwalk, did he start this trend of flavourful treats or was it just a coincidence? So if your in style, don’t be blue, just wear it!

Today I found the BBC editors Blog pages, where the most recent blog ( titled Fair Trial) which raises issues concerning the contempt of court act and reporting on it when the case is active uses the topical case of Karen Mathews, Ceri Thomas (editor of the Today Programme) has been researching into this area of the law and found two strong trends that have emerged concerning the Jury’s previous knowledge of a high profile case and a fair trial. These factors are said to be the ‘Fade factor’ and the accessibility of the Internet, Thomas suggests a new law to be considered for the future. Use the link below to find out more….

American sensation, Thomas Beatie, is due to give birth to a baby girl on July 5th.  Claiming to be five months pregnant, and legally a man, he has female reproductive organs from birth. Living in Bend, Oregon, many believe this is a hoax, but Mr Beatie claims he artificially inseminated himself at home as his wife cannot conceive. He wrote, “Our situation sparks legal, political and social unknowns” in the American publication The Advocate magazine. Doctors say it is possible although nothing like this has ever happened before.

Privacy Law debate

Max Clifford wants the PCC to become proactive on privacy laws to protect the ‘ordinary people’, arguing tougher rules for the press.

He used the example of the McCann’s recent case, winning libel damages worth £550,000 from Express papers that wrote numerous stories implying they murdered their daughter Maddie; however the family had financial backing.

He argues a need for funding, as there is no legal aid for defamation laws where you can only make a complaint, and any legal action would be funded by the newspaper itself.

Clifford appeared on the Daily Politics show this morning, proposing the need for a privacy law to be enforced; or the PCC becoming similar to the organisation Watchdog to protect the public.

Press intrusion for the ordinary people is becoming more sensational says Sir Menzies Campbell, due to a shrinking readership in the tabloid press and a higher competition in this particular market.

If Campbell is right, will Tabliod newspapers dissappear from the shelves and merge into the weekly gossip magazines?
