The Brits are coming...
Posted Feb 5, 2009
This year’s BRIT Awards (Feb 18th) are set to be one of the biggest yet and, after taking a peek at the nominations (below) - we're super happy to see a few of our Swide favourites up for an award too.
Up for a "Critics choice award" this year is the wonderful, Florence and The Machine (click to read more). Then, as pictured above in D&G SS09 is the lovely Katy Perry (read our exclusive interview here) up for the Best International Female award - as is Santogold who's still on Swide's playlist.
Best single nominations go to - Alexandra Burke, Duffy (pictured here in Dolce & Gabbana) and Estelle who all get a big thumbs up from us. BUT...The performance we secretly confess to being the most intrigued over though is the Pet Shop Boys (When was the last time we saw them live???), performing in honour of their 2009 Outstanding Contribution To Music Award. Can't wait...
The BRIT Awards 2009 will take place on 18th February at London’s Earls Court Arena.

The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps. Urban Exploration, known also as Urbex or UE, is an (often illegal) activity that explores unseen or unknown sights in the urban environment.
It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
Kylie Minogue has had a very very good week indeed. Sparkling brighter than ever at the Cannes Film Festival premier of ‘Holy Motors’, wearing Dolce&Gabbana, and then causing explosive reaction throughout the internet when her new single and video ‘Timebomb’ was dropped today.
