So, I might be really slow off the mark here but I only just discovered Purple Diary - the blog of Olivier Zahm, editor and founder of Purple Fashion magazine.
I recently read an interview with him on Style.com (in which he opined that 'The internet is a medium for interaction. Not for creativity' and that the economic downturn was ficticious - 'There is no crisis. I don't see the crisis') and he explained that the blog functions like a journal for him: 'An intimate diary mixing intimacy and privacy with my public life and creating a contrast between what's really private, sex and love, and what's really public, a party, a fashion show an exhibition.'
The result is a string of photographs - some Terry Richardson style titillating girlie shots, others after hours parties with the fashion crowd - that made me feel like I was having a nose on a friend's Facebook page. Only instead of pictures of my friends looking drunk and silly in Yates (I joke - they very rarely go there) it's photos of Daisy Lowe and Stefano Pilati looking drunk and silly at a PFW after party. Voyeuristic heaven!
Check out this small selection from the past week and a half....
Alexa Chung sitting on the pavement having a (niftily cropped-out) fag. You can take the girl out of East London...
Margherita Missoni - This is inevitable if your namesake is a lethal tequila cocktail.
Daisy Lowe and Terry Richardson. Uh-oooooh!
Olivier with a demurely tipsy Kate Moss (having a good sniff of her hair by the looks)
Sonia Sieff and Stefano Pilati (REALLY) enjoying that 4am smoke.
