How obsessed we were with OMAHYRA MOTA when I was in Firenze????  I forgot how awesome she was.

Light v Dark

In my quest to consolidate my top 5 (which, lets face it... is never going to happen,) I became enamoured with two London based designers who are now defiantly up there with my local favs. 

Simone Rocha - The lady only graduated in 2008 and in three years … you gets THIS. Love all the contrasting textures and wool details. D, it's worth taking a look at the whole collection, there is a grey coat that you just want to surround yourself with.

Belle Sauvage - Launched at the end of 2008, i love, love, love how bold and dare I say, how HOT these clothes are.

This is an ace quote "Our garments are our drawings, paintings and illustrations - our art.'' RESPECT.

All Over The Place

It's already been a crazy, crazy week and I have had a proper 'grumpy face' inducing day... Boooooooo

But at least these two things made me smile today.

IRO - Barbara sequin bomber jacket - if I got to slip this on when I got home today, I would be super-dooper happy. FACT.

The Dazed & Confused April issue – 21st Century Girl front cover photographed by Hedi Slimane. Look at Grimes in all that jewellery goodness, how can one be grumpy when looking at that?

I going to buy Dazed on the way home, make myself a whisky and ginger and let the day be gone.

Good times

AW13

Um.. " Hard time" is an understatement Lu.
We love winter (winter fashion) and AW13 is FABULOUS!!! So much darkness.....

I'm totes flat out today, so her is my first two faves. xxx


FRANKIE MORELLO
This sht just makes me smile. Way too many studs, spikes, and models with TUDE!
I find Frankie Morello so youth  inspired, almost tacky punk.... LOVE.

ROBERTO CAVALLI
I don't know when a season has gone past that Cavalli wasn't part of my top 5. The print, the drape, the softness teamed back with such dramatic heavy leathers and animals......AAGGGHHH!
Its feminine for the tough bitch.

OK- must go now, but ill be back with more soon.

I'm Having a Hard Time

D, I have been trying to choose my top 5 shows of A/W 12-13 and it's just too dam hard. I mean everything has it merits and for me to totally fall in love with something, I need to see it in the flesh (and strangely, all my fashion week invites seem to have been misplaced in the post!!)

So I thought I would play it another way....

This year I was increasing attracted to all the feathers and the wing like shapes I saw on the runway, so (drum roll please) here are my favourite collections that reminded me of BIRDS... ok, ok, I’m grasping at straws BUT you can’t deny the dominance of fur accents (that just reminded me of feathers) and lines that look like they could almost take flight.... so baby, I’m going for it.

MUGLAR - sculpted to the body dresses and power shoulders will always hit my love of the 80’s soft spot.

FENDI - I actually want to wear every single piece in this collection. All that shiny black, pleating, layering goodness masks me so happy.

ALEXANDER McQUEEN - I just can’t get past my love for that amazing visor (or are they giant sun glasses?) It just reminds me of a futuristic Roxy Music.

Sun Kissed

All this talk of holidays made me think of that summer we had in Italy and how I spent most of my time trying to wrestle the tan accelerator out of your hands. Ha, I love that you wanted to accelerate an already chocolate tan. Respect!

Summer 2005 was all about getting you browner (and kick boxing monkeys)… these pics are in honour of that.

I know the words holiday, summer and Italy makes us sound well posh, if only they knew!!!

I know, I know, I have been off the radar.

Currently, I'm mentally packing my Elizabeth Taylor inspired kaftan...

BALMAIN AW13

Yes Lu, we totes have to debrief on our Top 5 of AW13, but before we do so... we must take the time to give BALMAIN's collection the attention it deserves!
I don't think I have ever been so blown away by any collection.. EVER!!!!

As my gorgeous Abs said...."why have we not embellished everything we own in pearls already"!!!!

I love the "embellished Italian" element to this collection- all the embroidery/brocade details look like the inside of the Sistene Chapel or something found at the Tivoli Gardens.

Overall.... AMAZE!

Holding Pattern

We need to have a proper debrief about the A/W 12-13 fashion shenanigans. It’s well over due and I’m currently collating my top 5 for you but its taking ages…soz.  

I get painfully lost in the world of images, so I’m going to have to cull my current list of like 20 but I promise you, it’s-a-coming.

In the mean time, these three looks kill me….

1. Creatures of the Wind     2. Nicholas K    3. Givenchy

Red, fox fur and leather… does it get any better than that??
