To kick off 2012 I’m doing a series of Studio Visits, meeting established and up-and-coming designers. Starting things off in style, I met up with with London duo Teatum Jones who were recently picked up by Liberty and will be coming into their fourth season. Catherine Teatum and Rob Jones take a wonderfully meticulous approach to [...] Slightly late but special London Fashion Week sundries for you, been buzzing around like mad for LFW and my upcoming New York – Mexico LOL HOL (laughter holiday, duh). I always dread LFW and then once I’m there I really enjoy it. It’s great to IRL catch up with the lovely bloggers who I usually only see on the internet. While all around have been mining the ’70s for all it’s worth, Margaret Howell does retro with a lightness of touch and a masculinity that takes it out of the museum and into the street. Having seen the show I definitely feel like I need a hat. A proper man’s hat, not an indie Chelsea-Dagger [...] When I was a child I used to hang out in Woolworths trying to buy lottery cards and watching the films on the screens, which played against a backdrop of whatever was in the Top 40. I remember the scene at the end of 101 Dalamtians (where they’re crowded round a piano) going hilariously well [...] Topshop Unique’s LFW show was held at the old Eurostar terminal which gave it a Bum Bum Train surrealness, I was half expecting to be wheeled out of the show and into some other random scene, like a boxing ring or tea room. Loved all the ‘don’t wear heels’ tweets, it was a mere minutes [...] Margaret Howell show, whatatreat! One of the few shows I felt comfortable in my post-wisdom teeth comfy outfit of Grensons, jeans and jumper. I mentioned that all of the UK press were there, it was a bit of a fashion royalty fest, with Lorraine Candy, Imogen Fox and Anna Dello Russo. We all squished into [...] I am currently sitting in bed singing ‘Giles, oh Giles, oh Gi-iiiles!’ to the tune of Des’ree’s lyrically dubious song. If all around you are reviving the ’70s, and you’re coming back to your stomping ground what do you do? Throw a massive fashion party that melds ’90s post-rave and Studio 54 high glam, with [...] Margaret Howell was my first show on Sunday, and my first ever time ever at her show. I was jam-packed, with every possible UK fashion editor cramming the first row. The only exception was Grazia’s Jane Bruton, who was biding her time at Mulberry. Anna Dello Russo turned up adding to the excitement factor. Unfortunately it [...] London Fashion Week started today for me, as I had a full-on few days back at work after getting my wisdom teeth removed. I say full-on, I mean I went in doing my best impression of Casper the friendly ghost and left early to collapse into bed. Daks was the refreshing morning hit my senses needed [...] Lavazza’s Selection at London Fashion Week from Lavazza UK on Vimeo. I know this is a backtrack, but it’s just gone up so I wanted to share the last Lavazza LFW vid with you. It was awesome that I basically had my pick of designers to chat to at the Topshop New Gen stalls which was [...]  |
