Getty Images On the site today: assistant fashion editor Bronwyn Williams talks about trends for 2011. A few weeks ago, we attended presentations from the Massey University trends’ students, and we found that the majority of forecasts they identified were in line with our thinking. Bron elaborates on these more, as well as the key […]
Lucire’s Jaguar XJ party pics and exclusives
For those wondering what it was like to see the new Jaguar XJ and hang out with supermodel Elle Macpherson and Bond girl Rosamund Pike (and even the Hoff), we have party pics from last night’s launch at the Saatchi Gallery. Don’t forget our videos at Lucire TV showing everything from the Jaguar XJ driving […]
After a heady launch last night at the Saatchi Gallery, here are some videos of the new Jaguar XJ. We begin with a video of the new cars being built at Castle Bromwich, before looking at one of Jaguar’s most beautiful new models in a 360-degree segment. There’s the interior, then the XJ in motion.

Official photographs of the new Jaguar XJ
We know a few publications broke the embargo yesterday with these images. We preferred to stick with the embargo time of 8.30 p.m. BST (while we exclusively revealed the one photograph to the world that wasn’t covered earlier in the day). Now, post-launch, we can show a few more photographs of the new Jaguar XJ. […]

It has been known that a book celebrating Twiggy’s 60th birthday, Twiggy: a Life in Photographs, will be published by the National Portrait Gallery this year, but only today has news emerged about the dates for an […]
You’d think that these times would not be ideal to launch an SUV that has 555 hp with twin turbochargers (especially as we’ve deemed the economical Alfa Romeo MiTo our Car to Be Seen in this year), but BMW’s plans for its X6 M have been well advanced. The German company has released the new […]
HRH Prince William attends first public engagement as Skill Force patron
On July 6, HRH Prince William attended an event for Skill Force, a charity helping students who are at risk of discontinuing their education. Skill Force creates alternative learning programmes for those students, with the assistance of ex-service personnel serving as instructors and role models.

Hong Kong Fashion Week opens, with sizeable exhibits
Hong Kong Fashion Week—more a trade fair than the fashion weeks that Lucire traditionally covers—opened at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on July 6, with 1,100 exhibitors taking part for the spring–summer 2010 season. We have some sights from the exhibitions and sound bites from this spectacular, and very comprehensive, event. The event […]
This combines not only Lucire’s beliefs in being kind to the environment—unlike other magazines, our association with the United Nations Environment Programme goes back to 2003, and we’ve been eco-minded for years before that—but my love of typography. New Zealand label Was makes its bags from recycled billboards, so there’s every chance one can get […]
