Paper Monitor

09:04 UK time, Friday, 18 November 2011

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Paper Monitor is putting on its Jimmy Choos and wading into the world of high fashion today.

It is officially Fashion Friday in many of the papers with two couture crime stories doing the rounds.

The first concerns the theft of much of Marc Jacob's spring/summer 2012 collection from the label's Mayfair store on Wednesday.

The Independent declares that the fashion world "has been shaken" by the news and police are looking for a "tall, thin, very well-dressed woman".

Some might say the culprits are very discerning criminal types but it was probably not the best idea to steal one-of-a-kind samples by one of the world's leading designers. remarks the Indy.

The Times has a double-page special on pages four and five, with most of the space devoted to the other big fashion story.

It is all about the latest "fusion" line (note how Paper Monitor knows all the lingo).

Hundreds of shoppers spent Wednesday night queueing outside H&M's Regent Street store in London to get their mitts on the new Versace collection.

It sounds like an upmarket version of that game show Supermarket Sweep. Shoppers were only allowed 10 minutes browsing time and they could only buy a maximum of one of each bright and bling design.

Paper Monitor thinks it may have just been worth it, if only for a glimpse of Donatella V herself.

There is a third fashion story (kind of) which makes front page news in the Sun - the death of the very vogue cougar and toyboy marriage.

Yes, Demi Moore, the poster girl for cougars everywhere,

Moore, 49, is to divorce fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, 33, after allegations that he cheated on her with a much younger model.

The paper's deputy women's editor shows little sympathy or surprise: "The original cougar was left high and dry."
