It's hard to escape the incessant doom and gloom of recession when it's plastered all over the newspapers and beaming out from every television set.

Victoria Beckham (currently a resident of LA) is December's Harper's Bazaar cover girl and pictured wearing our Padded Bullet Bra on the opening page of a shoot which uses...

For some reason this has resulted in a press frenzy and today's Daily Mail has put three of them to the test. Guess which one they decided was the best? Well, we do have nearly 10 years experience! The...

From the poverty and angst of late-seventies Manchester, England came Joy Division, new wave pioneers who hit the scene and, in just a few years, changed the history of British music forever. Front man Ian Curtis, known for his sad monotone, strange dancing, and anti-stage presence, suffered from epileptic seizures that interfered with his life and eventually his live performances. He grew ill and...
