Christian Dior
With the Spring/Summer 2013 Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris fresh in our minds, FAULT contemplates the new sober era of Paris couture.

Get the Dita Von Teese style
Dita Von Teese, or the Queen of Burlesque as she is frequently referred to by the press, is known for one thing first and foremost: she is the woman who, in her own words, "put the tease back into striptease".

And in some perfumes is there more delight…

FAULT Film: All In Good Time review
Khan-Din, the writer most famous for East Is East and Calendar Girls is more than familiar with addressing serious and often difficult themes in a humorous and heart felt way. All In Good Time echoes this and although a different style in many respects, the film is still recognizably within the genre he has cultivated and made his own.
All in Good Time is a hilarious and, at times,…
