Product Of The Week

I love this Topshop denim waistcoat which has just landed on the online store- I’m not sure why but it really reminds me of Rita Ora (whos style I love atm).  Alot of work has went into making this with all of the embellishment and stud detail on the front and back which is probably why it costs alittle more than most Topshop styles which are similar (£180).  If you don’t have £180 spare to treat yourself to this little beauty then you can quite easily customise denim already in your wardrobe with studs.  I just think this piece is really different and edgy, I would actually wear it with a little black skater skirt and some shoe boots.  

Anna Dello Russo teams up with H&M…HOLD ME BACK!

Well I did not see this one coming….H&M has joined forces with one of my favourite style icons/Editor of Vogue Japan/Blogger Anna Dello Russo for what will no doubt be yet another collaboration which will be sold out in hours….or in the case of the Versace & H&M collab….within minutes on the online store (much to my disappointment).  I am so so excited for this capsule collection of bags, jewellery, sunglasses and shoes which are described by H&M as being “over the top” and I can very much believe that if the collection is a reflection of Russo’s personal style.  

Here is a sneak peak of the collection, along with an imagery style profile of Anna Dello Russo.  All thats left to be said now is roll on October 4th for the online launch!!

          

                                

                               

Final Major Project-1 month to go!!!!

I thought it fitting to write a post about my Final Major Project since that seems to be all I am spending my time working on at the moment!  With just 5 weeks left of my final year at university, I am now in the process of getting my final work completed.  This project combines my research/trend prediction skills with my design skills.  I am creating a trend and then designing a collection from that trend- which like alot of my design work is a lingerie based collection, well more underwear as outerwear.  My collection has a strong leather presence mixed back with soft jerseys, silk, and lace- a winning combo I’m hoping!  There is also a selection of leather accessories to compliment the clothing pieces, which I am looking forward to being made…so I can wear them myself!  I will also do an editorial with a model wearing my pieces.  YES….. I do have a large workload at the moment! 

A Meadham Kirchhoff Fantasy…I wanna be part of it!

Must say, I’ve always been a fan of Meadam Kirchhoff….but their latest offering at LFW  actually bowled me over! I love it! Kind of reminds me of one of my favourite designer Manish Arora collections, maybe thats becasue of their use of colour in this wonderful collection.  To me this collection is really fun and once de-constructed from the way it was styles for the actual show, alot of the pieces are actually extremely wearable.  My favourite pieces would have to be the dyed fur, sequin bustiers, and I even kind of like the fact that they have mixed in some embroidered denim….this look takes me back to my childhood!  I think we will be seeing this on the high-street soon actually :-)

AMAZING - Well done guys!
