What is? Me bumping into a monumental new design talent at Pure, the biannual schmutterfest at Olympia. Now I know where northern boutique owners are sourcing that lurid 1980s gear sported by Big Brother's resident mutton-dressed-as-Toni Basil housemate, Lisa. Trawling the aisles, I run into another of Endemol's guinea pigs.

Who? Former BB inmate Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, who lost out to sartorial Tourette's sufferer whassisname (how quickly we forget). Since then, the 28-year-old sometime glamour model and (says her agent) 'the most credible spokesperson for what is really going on in Britain's inner cities' has been busy writing columns, a book and designing her own range of clobber, Unique by Aisleyne.

Should Gucci be bricking it? The serial red carpet stalker knows what gets the paps going. That'll be slitty, slashy, flashy, trashy and clingier than a Wag to her meal ticket. She claims Harrods and Harvey Nics are keen but for now, Londoners desperate for her ghetto princess gear will need to travel to Kitten Fashions (Enfield) or Brazen Hussy (Essex).

It's not exactly Bond Street. Her new best friend/muse is Amy Winehouse, so expect the range to go major next season. Given her party tricks, let's hope Aisleyne uses materials that are rip-proof, waterproof, Teflon-coated and inflammable.

And the exhibitor you planned to meet? Yet another reality show reject dreaming of fashion's big time. But The Apprentice's Ghazal Asif – as in, Asif the rookie business development manager stood a cat's chance in hell against tricky Tre or überbitch Katie – has somehow failed to get her beaded kaftan collection to the exhibition on time. Didn't cruel Siralan fire her for being 'all talk and no do?'

Thanks for the link, although the review tells us very little about the UbA range.
