Kylie's prints charming

I could not come up with a better tag-line than this Daily Mail article so I shall steal/rip-it-off instead. Regrettably, the Sunday Mail does not think to include an image of their dressed-up Kylie so I include the one above and take their word for it she looks smashing in Saunders.

Jonathan Saunders, 26, of Rutherglen, near Glasgow, has his own designer line and Kylie's stylist William Baker is a huge fan. William said: ''Jonathan's clothes are so vibrant. His prints are so strong and graphic. He cleverly usedthem to emphasise the waist, exactly what we are trying to do with Kylie, and the colours were fantastic sci-fi, modern and really showy.''

Jonathan was snapped up by top designer Alexander McQueen just after his MA show at top London fashion college Central Saint Martin's two years ago.

"Vibrant" is a good word for Saunder's second collection and the work would certainly not be out of place in a ST:TNG episode so the sci-fi comparison works for me too. Landing a job with Alex McQueen is impressive and the Flea wishes Saunders the best of luck. That said, the colours hurt my eyes. I expect Kylie would look quite fetching in any part of the collection, however, particularly in comparison with some mannish catwalk models.
