LONDON FASHION WEEK

One of my favourite times of the year! Because let's face some of the most exciting talents show in London. I haven't had time to look through every show... so the ones that I picked out and had to see first include:

ANN-SOFIE BACK

Beautiful simplicity

CHRISTOPHER KANE

A focus on snakeskin and a complete reversal from the leathers used in previous collections. Soft silks with abudance of layers and frills.

GARETH PUGH

I love how Pugh focuses on one particular theme/trend and takes it to a completely extravaggant, ridiculously unwearable but fascinating and wonderful level, everytime.

BEN DE LISI

When does he not create jaw droppingly beautiful dresses?

HELMUT LANG

I want these trousers.

JENS LAUGESEN

Doshaburi

Doshaburi raped me of my money.

OK rather excessive statement.

But I loved the place! I bought a white Marjan Pejoski shirt. It's fabulous! The collar goes to one side and a big bow forms at the bust. The sleeves are long with a fold over cuff. Here's the image taken from Pejoski's lookbook. You can see the shirt under the blazer.



Secondly I purchased a boessert/schorn dress, as seen in this image:



And finally I bought another boessert/schorn bodywarmer/waistcoat/thing.....:

It's not the best image of it, I'd like to think I look better in it!!

All-in-all I had no other money for Barcelona souvenirs as I spent it all at Doshaburi! Well done Doshaburi...! Just a note to say the Doshaburi owner was a lovely guy too. And I'm sure he appreciated receiving all my euros!! I couldn't afford food for the last few days of my holiday.

Stab-proof hoodies?

Bladerunner hoodies have been credited for saving a boy's life due to it's inner layer of Kevlar, a 'knife resistant' fibre used in protective body armour. I wonder how 'stab proof' it is... is it stab proof or just slash proof?

Work of the Devil

CROCs are god DAMN ugly things. I don't care how comfortable you say they are - how can you possibly justify adorning your feet in such monstronsities??

And I am hardly the biggest fan of the UGG boot that refuses to stay away from our shop floors. They, also, may be comfortable - but shouldn't they stay in the home or in extreme weather conditions ie. ski resorts??

So you can imagine my utter state of horror when I discovered the GUMBIE boots. A mix of croc and ugg. ew.
