LFW: Cara for Giles

Fashion East have created a fishing net slash damson bog monster vibe with this knitwear piece. I'm all for knots, nets and oversized knits.

I'm-everywhere-Cara-Delevigne looked a Godess on the Giles catwalk in a smock-like metallic number complete with embellished fringing. Severe girl crush.

Maarten van der Horst got paint brush happy with his latest collection consisting of paint splatters galore and a healthy dose of monochrome.

TOM FORD surprised me with a collection suitable for the Harlem red light districts -which is always a good thing. Partial to a bomber there were plenty to choose from in fluffy Malibu Barbie fabric as well as fine embroidered pointy star thing placements. Ooh I say!

Peace and STIs

Raw-Couture does Birmz

So pure dramaz prevented any posts the last few days. Apologies. Went back to Birmingham to see my crew for the weekend and had too much of a good time. Plus the mommas got shit wifi.

So got myself a cheeky bowl cut and styled it out with a Lacoste vintage style varsity bomber jacket. Seriously can't get enough of them. Layer it with an American Apparel zip through, light wash denim skinnies (hello Spring), Nike Air Ones (of course) and a Public Gallery Red Indian oversized tee.

How much is too much? Freedom for Topshop limited edition Panther chain. Keep it raw.

Stay couture.

MILAN FASHION WEEK: VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

The much anticipated Vivienne Westwood AW13 collection was worth the wait.

The opening of the show saw smartly dressed models storm the catwalk. Giving nothing away into the world of Westwood apart from the subtle skeleton chains adorning their necks.  

True to form Vivienne Westwood proudly promoted the fight for climate revolution with this simple badge. I admire such an iconic and world renoun designer that uses their position to make more people aware of important causes. If I had one I would wear it proudly.

JIMMY Q! My idol Jimmy looked amazing exposing his life ruiner for all to see. Im enjoying the flash of yellow print teamed witht the burnt orange cardigan. Winter warmer.















Deep triangle placement knits continued from previous season reworked in new colours. These drop crotch pants are amazing -an outfit suitable for work and play.














Whats not to love elaborate facepaint and sexual quiff. I'll see you after class ;)

















Someone's not enjoying the baker boy hat.




















I adore this check ensemble. The matching scarf compliments the zip through bomber and tapered pant. Love the flash of orange on the graphic shopper. Season must have.















The oldskool Westwood rebellion continus...



















Wasp meets houndstooth meets stormtrooper. The bomber hoodie combo is amazing. Pollution is highlighted again with a matching facemask. Who said smog can't be stylish.


















This is my favourite piece of the entire collection! Large typography is on trend as is the apple green contrast lettering. Love this oversized piece. One day I hope to be able to afford it.

Vivienne Westwood reworks the militaria look.





















Wetlook sleeve varsity jacket. Forest green. Ideal for winter season.

The shape of this coat is so different and relaxed compared to previous collections of hard tailored outerwear pieces. The stripe makes it more casual. Socks. I WANT.















Ending the show a suave gentlemen in a classic suit teamed with warpaint maybe symbolising the ongoing war agains world climate pollution?

LONDON COLLECTIONS: RICHARD NICOLL

FOR HIS AW1314 COLLECTION RICHARD NICOLL GAVE US AN 80S TAILORED FEEL.

A PALETTE OF BLUE GREYS DOMINATED THE CATWALK WITH BEENIE HATS BEING A KEY ACCESSORY.

PAINT SPLATTERS STYLE PRINT SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN OVER AS A NEW CAMO.

BASIC KNITS WITH BASIC BEANIES. 

NICOLL CREATED A SPACE AGE VIBE USING METALLICS. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE METALLIC OUTERWEAR PIECE AND THE GREY FOOTWEAR IT IS STYLED WITH.

A SHARP BURST OF ORANGE ROUNDED OFF THE SHOW. WHICH APPEARS TO BE A POPULAR COLOUR CHOICE THIS SEASON. SAFE. EASY TO WEAR. REFLECTIVE JACKETS ALL THE WAY.

PEACE. RAW-COUTURE.

AQO: A Question Of...

I came across the brand A Question Of recently and was impressed with their concept of sustainable clothing that supports FAIR TRADE and uses pure ORGANIC cotton.

In a world of THROWAWAY fashion. A Question Of are the good guys. AND as well as caring for the welfare of their factory workers in Africa - they also know how to design a good graphic or two.

You cant go wrong with a minimalist colour palette of blacks greys and white. Creating Tees and Sweaters with simple and iconic graphics that are original and set themselves apart from other brands.

It's now COOL to care about our environment so why not become an ECO YUPPIE with A Question Of''s collection of playful sweaters. A nice exaggerated neckline completes the look.

For the FASHIONISTAS amongst us they have even created inky caricatures of the ever iconic ANNA WINTOUR and KARL LAGERFELD. MUST HAVE.

I am now proud owner of TWO A Question Of Tees and shall be showcasing them shortly. They're bright, original -and FABULOUS DARLING! stay tuned.

(available on ASOS.com as well as A Question Of online site)

Peace.
