If, like us, New Year’s Eve typically finds you scrambling to make plans, and then wondering whether the fuss is worth the inflated price of a cab home, consider grabbing a last-minute flight to Vegas. There, you could find yourself at the ,The rise and rise of Olivia Palermo continues apace, with the lady herself dropping another detail about her plans for fashion world domination.   One look at Felicity Brown’s pieces is enough to convince you of the fact that her background in textile design. Beautifully constructed they may be, but there’s no denying that the focus is on the fabric, the print and the feel.
Brown has worked for some of the biggest labels around - Lanvin, Mulberry and Alberta Ferretti - but it was her brother and now business partner who persuaded her to launch her own. Having never made a dress herself she boldly set about transforming her fabrics into garments. The resulting debut collection, all breath-takingly beautiful silk pleats and hand painted dyes, wowed fashion insiders - it was instantly snapped up by Liberty and 10 Corso Como and earned her NewGen sponsorship for the up-coming season.

Try their Wild Rose 24-hour Moisturising Cream, £19, which contains Olive Oil; Kylie Minogue is a fan, maybe that’s her secret to looking so young  Another superfood the brand uses is pomegranate. "Pomegranate extract is a rich source of tannins and vitamins (A, C, E). One pomegranate contains three times the antioxidant properties of red wine or green tea. This high level of antioxidants is effective in combating free radicals that cause premature ageing of the skin cells.                                                                    " Explains Lena Korres, the brand Director.
