JENA THEO A/W 2013

Well, i'm finally sorting through all my photos from London Fashion Week this past Spring - somewhat belatedly, i know! My justification being that we are still heading towards the season, & it will be several months (hopefully!) before Autumn/Winter practically takes hold.

Jena Theo's private presentation in Somerset House this season was fantastic, as usual. Fun, sassy & striking. Awesome inspiration - or perhaps i should say "how rad, cool man!" #bringbackthenineties

REISS AW13 PREVIEW

I attended the Reiss press day earlier: what a beautiful collection, as always! In line with the catwalk, there was a lot of monochrome (which I LOVE - so easy to wear!), textures (furs, leather, suede) & sleek silhouettes.

laser-cut detail on dresses:

& box bags, very 1950s. The one below was see-through for the summer, & has been reworked for Autumn/Winter into a sleeker, bolder finish:

Following on from the 1950s theme, one inspiration this season was the Hitchcock Heroine; I can really see Tippi Hedren rocking these neckline in pinks or tans:

below: a rack of menswear jackets:

All-in-one jumpsuit, worn with faux fur trim jacket:

padded tees, & his/hers scents:

Reiss love to get feedback for pieces still work in progress: they're considering closing the peep-toe of the fur camel wedge, what do you think? I love the style as it is! <3

Fashion Scout

There were some fantastic monochromatic collections shown at Fashion Scout this AW13 season, as evidenced above, a much later #latergram. Will try & get around to editing the rest of the pics this weekend!

Have a good one!

Ruby + Ed / Good Results / Village Press: More AW13!

If you haven't heard of Ruby and Ed by now, you really should! The ultimate antidote to the ever-changing British weather, they create the cosiest, delicate luxurious loungewear, accessories, & everyday pieces. With touches of coral & mink tones through a variety of silks and faux furs, it's definitely a label to stock up on! The PR team were all lovely & truly dedicated to their craft, & I'm excited to see how the brand develops. They've also been featured in Vogue's More Dash Than Cash section :)

faux-fur trimmed mittens, & a selection of the AW13 footwear collection:

Over at Village Press, Cacharel presented some beautifully quilted pieces decorated with bird motifs:

(I think this is Aries by Sofia & Fergus):

Antoni + Alison x G Shock watch:

Sequinned horse sweaters! By Ashish. Plus Brooks bike accessories: roll-up gloves, & chocolates by Rococo chocolates.

Thanks to Ruby + Ed, Good Results PR, & the Village Press team!

Calvin Klein Brings Sexy Back / Teatum Jones Equals Perforated Colour / Superdry Becomes High Fashion

As mentioned earlier on in the week, I've been soaking up the AW13 collections through the various press days that have been popping up. On Wednesday, I was invited to the Modus showrooms, one of the bigger PR brands, & got to see some of the clothes from the catwalk, up close. I think possibly my favourite line at the moment is the Calvin Klein AW13 one. I've never been a dedicated fan of Calvin Klein, preferring his simplified, raw Kate Moss years, but the latest collection, full of leather & raw hems, slits & sharp lines, totally sold it to me. Sexy, but in a tough, modern, don't-mess-with-me kind of way.

The other high-end line competing for my affections this season belongs to Pringle of Scotland. To me, the collection kind of splits in two. There's one half which has been worked on through collaborations with Central Saint Martins design students, & the Princess of Monaco, to create a collection inspired by the iconic Grace Kelly. The other half is a representation of white through the creative use of textures to create shadows & perforations & folds. Some of the knitwear has been developed to look like it has been taken straight from the animal, such is the creative use of weaving and knitting. Plus, how cool are the skirt/dungarees that I'm holding up?!

A few more pieces that caught my eye:

The colours & perforations from Teatum Jones were simply stunning:

...& Toast, a brand beloved by both country-folk and Hollywood alike (Kirsten Dunst adores them):

Skulls always make for good motifs:

... & finally, I also popped by the launch of the new Superdry line, a collection with more of a high-end feel than we're used to, designed by Timothy Everest. It's sort of Japanese branding meets utility meets 1950s housewife meets Jack Wills:
