Pan Am Exclusive Ranges And Waiting List

2008-03-07T18:12:00.003Z

Take to the skies in style this Summer with Discoo’s exclusive range of cabin bags and accessories.

Visit Discoo.co.uk/Pan_Am for our Pan Am 80th Anniversary Collection.

Discoo.co.uk is the UK’s exclusive stockist of the 80th anniversary Pan Am collection, which celebrates and encapsulates the former airline’s rich heritage of luxury and indulgence.

Inspired by the jet-setting lifestyle it invented, Pan Am can now be experienced by a whole new generation.

Discoo will carry all three of Pan Am’s strictly limited edition bag ranges:

Prestige Collection, crafted in the finest leather and boasting a printed satin lining and monogrammed studs and zips.
Hawaii Magic Carpet Collection, featuring artwork from beloved 50’s American artist Norman Rockwell. Hop on board with a cream Hawaiian vanity case.

These bags are exact replicas of the original cases given to Pan Am’s First Class passengers in the 1950s.
Retro Collection, featuring retro remakes of Pan Am’s classic cabin bags.

The Presidential is the same bag JFK carried while campaigning for the presidency in 1960!.

If you’re not already booked first class then why not bag yourself…well, a bag, that shouts glamour and will guarantee you that upgrade.

Purchases for the Prestige and Hawaiian ranges are pre-order only and, as First Class passengers have come to expect, the waiting list is the only way to guarantee you’ll be the most glamorous girl at the airport with a carry-on to kill for.

Delivery is, of course, guaranteed before that Summer jaunt to St Tropez, Mustique or the Virgin Islands.

Waiting List Only: The Hawaiian Magic Carpet Vanity Case, £145.

Waiting List Only: Pan Am Prestige Overnight Bag, £415

Discoo Christmas Delivery Success

2008-01-18T12:08:00.000Z

We saw this cartoon in Private Eye and couldn't resist posting it in the blog.

Discoo's delivery systems performed very well over the busy Christmas period....although we don't actually stock Myrrh - a resinous red brown material used in incense apparently.

A couple of quick customer comments about the Christmas Service:

Thank you so much for the quick delivery and beautiful packaging! My Christmas presents looked stunning as I reused your tissue and ribbon, and I looked so nice my friends are all asking about where I got the dress! Consider yourselves recommended!
Clare

Star Wars T-Shirts at Discoo

2008-01-11T15:40:00.001Z

We at Discoo are very proud of our Star Wars T-Shirts.

Thanks to Junk Food we have a class selection of original Tees - but ONLY for true Star Wars devotees.

In order to be considered worthy, you should agree with the following statements:

1. Parts IV to VI are way better than I to III - even with the Ewoks.

2. If confronted by someone a lot bigger than you in a fight you would strongly consider saying:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

3. Whenever you meet someone called Luke, you have to pronounce his name as "Luuuuuke".

4. You have gone to a fancy dress party dressed as Princess Leia...and pulled.

5. You secretly plan to give your kids the middle name "Skywalker" (not such a secret anymore if your name is Ed and you are the MD at Discoo).

And before all the boys start complaining that question 4 wasn't fair....we're not suggesting you wear the gold bikini.

Take a look at the Star Wars Tee selection - we love the "Tell Me I'm Your Daddy" Darth Vader Tee and the Princess Leia top.

And we've got more Classic Star Wars T-Shirts as well below.

Our 2 Favourite Star Wars T-Shirts:

Darth Vader - Tell Me I'm Your Daddy T-Shirt. Pure Class.

Kylie and Zoe....and one of them is wearing Discoo!

2007-12-14T11:40:00.000Z

Zoe Griffin, wearing John Zack, poses next to pop Princess Kylie Minogue in D&G.

"I reckon Discoo looks as good as D&G" says Zoe Griffin, Sunday Mirror Showbiz Editor.

Kylie Minogue certainly looks fab in her designer outfit at a recent film premier in London.

Zoe (5'8" without heels) crouched next to her for this pap shot.

And Kylie's thoughts on Zoe's John Zack sequined number?

"Bonza dress mate....where'd you get it?"

Actually, no....we made that up. She just said it was "very pretty".

You don't have to spend £4000 in a dress to look fabulous and wear something unique. Zoe's outfit cost under £40 from Discoo.

LJ's Fashion Blog - Perfect for Pacha: My new Lulu & Red Marlena Top

2007-10-05T11:19:00.000+01:00

I wore this out to Pacha and got on a couple of club Pap boards! See: floral and neon - we're right on trend!

LJ's Fashion Blog for Discoo

Imagine my delight late last week when a little parcel from Discoo.co.uk arrived on my work desk and instantly sorted out that age old dilemma of what to wear at the weekend.

In one fell swoop, the Lulu and Red "Marlena" top has injected life back into my wardrobe at that tricky borderline season time…. you know, warm enough for strapless tops and sun dresses during the day, but jeans and jackets still very much come out to play in the evenings.

Fantastic then that this 100% silk number fits flawlessly with my skinny jeans and cotton military style jacket (two seasons old and still fresh!) Even better that it picks up two of this year's hottest trends - floral and neon.

It fits like an absolute dream, effortlessly bridging the divide between pretty and sexy without being too much of either.

I teamed the overall outfit with my neon pink heels which perfectly picked out the ribbon detail at the back of the top, giving it a very modern edge.

I ventured into London's West End for some Saturday night cocktails in my ensemble - this outfit is perfect for bar hopping or a late dinner.

At Pacha the following weekend I combined the top with black city shorts and was photographed by both Don't Stay In and Tillate.com - a great outfit for the Dance Podium!

Jennifer Lopez and Zoe Griffin swap fashion tips

2007-09-23T12:05:00.000+01:00

Zoe Griffin, Sunday Mirror Showbiz Editor, meets Jennifer Lopez. Zoe wears Arrogant Cat by Discoo.

Leopard print is all the rage as Zoe found out when she met J-Lo at her party in London's Amika club.

Zoe Griffin, Sunday Mirror Showbiz Editor, reports that J-Lo laughed off comparisons to their dresses.

Apparently she was charming about Zoe's Arrogant Cat outfit and happily posed for this pic, which will be published on Sunday in Zoe's column.

Of course, Discoo carries an exclusive range of Arrogant Cat dresses, so no fear that you'll meet anyone in "exactly" the same dress!

Notice the slight bumps in J-Lo's outfit? The star was keeping mum about the possibility of a baby being on the way, but other sources confirmed that she is expecting.

David Beckham scores in simple black and white

2007-08-31T12:59:00.000+01:00

David steps out in LA in a simple black coat

Thanks to our favourite footballing hero (and his fashion-conscious wife), Discoo can safely say that Black - and white - is Back.

Despite the less-than-perfect performance of the LA Galaxy team at the start of the season, things are looking up - David has finally scored and has been strutting his stuff around LA looking effortlessly suave as he works the designer casual look.

While certain male celebrities are forever splashing out on outrageous outfits to keep themselves looking young and hip, true trend setters such as David Beckham opt for something a little more understated.

David has always had a great sense of style (forgetting of course the unfortunate sarong scenario) and is able to set the trends for the male market. He proves here that a crisp white shirt and a decent black jacket teamed with good old denim are just as acceptable as they always were for a night out on the town.

Get David’s cool, calm and collected look with a white cotton shirt from Triple 5 Soul and Ringspun’s classic Monkey Coat in charcoal.

David shows off a tan in a clean white shirt

Get Amy Winehouse’s Arrogant Cat dress

2007-08-10T12:55:00.000+01:00

This Oh-so-cute Black and White Check Doll Dress from Arrogant Cat will turn heads.

This week we saw our favourite big-haired fashionista looking on top form at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival.

Amy sang her heart out in this cute, kitsch, check dress by Arrogant Cat available from Discoo.

Amy has been working hard trying to break America and friends say her mind and body simply can't take it.

The singer’s friends, family and fans have been worried sick about her drinking, drug-taking and strange body alterations.

Doctors have now advised Amy to cancel some upcoming shows and have a complete rest - which is bad news for us because as much as we like listening to her music, we absolutely love ogling her latest outfits.

The good news is that no matter what Amy’s personal situation is, her wardrobe needs no help. We wish Amy a speedy recovery and hope to see her back to her old self again soon.

Be warned - in this dress, you’ll want to dance the night away, so be careful not end up in a state of complete “exhaustion” yourself by the end of the night!

Charley Uchea needs a lift following BB eviction

2007-08-09T13:08:00.000+01:00

Charley's belt is slightly more visible than Discoo's Supportits.

Carly demonstrates a hand on approach to getting a breast lift...but Discoo's Liftits are a more elegant solution.

Big Brother’s most recent evictee Charley Uchea also appears not to have discovered Discoo’s range of breast enhancing, gravity-repelling Fashion Secrets.

Gobby Charley has been one of Big Brother’s bitchiest and most self-obsessed contenders yet; from her constant arguing and back-stabbing, her non-stop posing in the mirror and her fake eviction in a pair of pants, to her attention-seeking sulks and tantrums.

We will admit however, that without her the house is now a rather dull place - new housemates or no new housemates. And the girl did occasionally pull off some pretty sassy outfits.

Discoo hopes that having now left the house, Charley will stop using a belt to hold her breasts in place and gets hold of a pair of Liftits instead!

Alternatively, she might try Boostits (Full Cup / Half Cup), Supportits or a little bit of Hollywood fashion tape – any of which would come in very handy on her nights out, as she clings on to the nearest celeb in an attempt to grab the limelight.

By the looks of things Big Bro quitter and rival Chanelle was having similar problems. Now both girls are out, someone please let them in on the Secrets!

Victoria Beckham works monochrome prints in LA

2007-07-25T01:51:00.000+01:00

Victoria Beckham does monochrome.

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has packed up all her Jimmy Choos and is preparing to start her glamorous new life in sunny L.A.

As her new TV Show reveals, she wanted to go out ahead of her family, set up their new home and fly them over once everything was ready – apparently to keep it as stress-free for David and the kids as possible.

We, however, suspect it was more to do with getting time alone to shop!

The Beckhams are becoming increasingly close to new-found celebrity friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who hosted a star-studded welcoming party this week.

Attended by A-List guests including Jim Carey, Will Smith and Stevie Wonder, Victoria looked every bit the LA fashion queen.

Despite her faintly irritating catch phrases, such as "It's exhausting being fabulous" and "It's got to be all about me", we can't help but love Vic's sense of style.

A pattern-printed dress in classic black and white is clearly a favourite item of Victoria's new wardrobe.

You can get the look right here at Discoo, with either Arrogant Cat's panel mini dress or John Zack's monochrome wrap dress.

Fergie's Hot Style

2007-07-11T17:53:00.000+01:00

Triple 5 Soul Striped Waistcoat

Ruby Rocks Cuffed Denim Shorts

Summer may have been a bit of a washout but the unpredictable weather has given us all an excuse to rock our practical festival fashion at all times.

Kate Moss has undeniably inspired a generation of waistcoat wearing hotpant hotties.

The classic pieces mix well to create a striking look that makes up fashion's latest favour.

Brought up to date with retro and vintage accessories including oversized sunnies and the lovable trilby, sexy rock fashion, full of high festival fever, is everywhere this summer.

Fergie worked Kate Moss's style with chunky arm jewellery adding charm to the look.

The Glamorous singing star seemed to take the glamour element of her hit single too far.

With her red knickers showing through sexy Fergie isn't far off the glamour model radar.

Get her look - minus the showing knickers - with Denim Shorts by fashion brand Ruby Rocks and the urban influenced Waistcoat by Triple 5 Soul.

Kate Middleton's Floral Chic

2007-07-10T21:47:00.000+01:00

Ruby Rocks Backless Summer Dress

She's back with Wills and back in vogue; Kate Middleton shows you how to work this season's floral trend.

Fashion buyer Kate Middleton has won her prince back and is winning our hearts with her simple and sophisticated fashion chic.

There's a focus on florals this summer season, with poppy patterns and dahlia decoratives adding chic to summer frocks.

Kate works it well with her red number teamed with ballet flats and a designer handbag.

Armed with an overnight bag we can only guess as to whether 25 year old Berkshire born Kate spent some quality time away from prying eyes with Prince William.

Take a leaf out of Miss Middleton's style with the Backless Summer Dress by Ruby Rocks.

It's a bright blue number with super cooling shots of pink floral fever.

The deep V is flattering and the wrap around forgives most figures.

Glynis Barber's Cobalt Style

2007-07-09T20:37:00.000+01:00

John Zack Smock Top Dress

Glynis with husband Michael Brandon

Emmerdale Star Glynis Barber stepped out in this season's cobalt blue to party at Sir David Frost's summer get together.

She plays a detective in Emmerdale and her real life hubbie, Michael Brandon, has his sights set on a new role at The Bill, so it's no surprise to see cop loving Glynis Barber as a girl in blue.

Glynis, who found fame in TV drama Dempsey & Makepeace, worked this season's cobalt blue look at Sir David Frost's summer party.

Attending the posh gathering arm in arm with husband Michael, who will soon appear on our screens in The Bill, Glynis joined a host of stars including Tara Palmer Tomkinson, Annabel Goldsmith and Elton John.

Ger her look with John Zack's Smock Top in bright blue.

Add a belt and team it with black trousers for instant night time chic.

Imogen Lloyd Webber at David Frost's Summer Party

2007-07-06T20:50:00.000+01:00

Chilli Pepper White Skinny Jeans

White skinny jeans are no passing fad. Everyone from Victoria Beckham, Shilpa Shetty and now Imogen Lloyd Webber have been spotted looking sexy in white.

Staple fashion favourite white jeans show no signs of going away this summer.

At David Frost's recent summer party socialite Imogen Lloyd Webber, who appeared on ITV2's Deadline, went for a the classic monochrome block look.

Adding a touch of sophisticated chic to unpredictable weather, white denim can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion.

We love Imogen's take on the trend. She teamed hers with a black top and a draping scarf.

Get her look with Chilli Pepper's White Skinny Jeans.

Team it with a black top for that sexy monochrome look.

It's not the first time we've mentioned Imogen on Style Bleed and luckily for her both times have been for the right reasons.

It seems the blonde author is one for following the latest trends proving that hours of reading posh fashion bibles like Vogue - and Style Bleed - pays off.
