Tomorrow sees the launch of the V&A's Hats, an Anthropology exhibition which has been put together by Stephen Jones.

As Jones says: 'A hat makes clothing identifiable, dramatic - and most importantly Fashion... It's the cherry on the cake, the dot on the 'i', the fashion focus...'

Distinct from hat-making, with its large-scale production of standard hat types, millinery focuses on the creation and decoration of elegant, experimental and often whimsical hats. Jones permits us to examine the world of millinery from the inside out, following the life-cycle of a hat from its point of inception in the milliner’s mind to its final incarnation atop the wearer’s head.

Those of you who visited the V&A's 'The Golden Age of Couture' will know that you're in for a treat.

So, let's make tomorrow 'wear a hat to work' day. For those of you who are not on a couture budget then why not check out Re-Creations by James: hand made 1940s inspired hats, each of which is unique.

Poor old Tony Nylons is having a bad week. Not only has someone been heavily inspired by his work to make burlesque wallpaper, but The Saturday's 'Just Can't Get Enough' Red Nose Day video is filled with iconic Tony Nylons style pin up images. As Tony says, he, in turn is inspired by classic pin up artists of the 1940s and 1940s and there are only so many ways you can film a girl in a corset looking cute with an iron. Does this mean that sales of his work will start to zoom up as everyone clamours for the vintage look? I hope so! Whether or not the director is aware of Tony's work we don't know, but we (I plead guilty!) did send several pieces out to The Saturdays a few weeks ago - you'll be able to spot fully fashioned stockings, our Ahoy There corset, our Pigalle corset and pieces from just about every other major lingerie company in the UK including good old Agent Provocateur (in case you're wondering who made the woolly sailor playsuit). See what you think....

Lucha Britannia at The Brits

Now, I know what you're thinking. What does wrestling have to do with What Katie Did? The answer is just as strange as you'd expect. Mam'zelle Maz and Miss Miranda who have both modelled frequently for us are appearing as part of the post Brits entertainment by Lucha Britannia. The finale is a pillowfight between Mam'zelle Maz (bright pink frilly knickers, fully fashioned stockings and babydoll) and Miss Miranda (white frilly knickers and babydoll). It's Miss Miranda's first time as a Glamazon Luchadora so you have to decide whether to support her or Mam'zelle Maz who will be trying to keep her stockings intact! The action can be seen on ITV2's Brits aftershow coverage which starts at 10pm on Wednesday 18th February. Let the fun commence!

The press page was nearly very empty this week. Not that we haven't had any, but we're rather lacking in pictures. Mimi Spencer was kind enough to mention us in her column in The Mail on Sunday's You magazine saying that for Valentine's Day 'I'd settle for something from whatkatiedid.com - a trove of vintage-inspired undies that will turn your lover into Bettie Page in a blink'. Funnily enough Richard and I were snuggled up on the sofa reading the papers and he asked me if we'd ever sent anything to You magazine, I said no, only for him to say 2 minutes later 'oh, here we are!' Apparently some of our peach Striptease knickers also made it into the Sunday Mirror's magazine, but we didn't find out until Monday and couldn't track a copy down.

So, as you can see, not many pictures. Luckily I received an email from ITV's
This Morning today saying that our Glamour corselette was used in a Valentines' Day lingerie feature on Wednesday's programme.

It's been another busy week in the press. Our Maitresse bullet bras (and a tiny section of our Maitresse knickers) can be found in March's Marie Clare.

Meanwhile, our Frilly knickers can be found in February's Company magazine, which perhaps explains why we've just about sold out. Don't worry, new stock will be arriving just in time for Valentine's Day.

We've also been featured in the lingerie trade press. This time, in Italy's Linea Intima which has featured our Gold Label Lily range which looks rather good on Miss Bernie Dexter.

The shoot I would have loved to have been in is a military themed shoot that appears in March's Vogue - anyone into the '40s should really have a look as the pictures are mazing. Never mind, maybe next month!
