Ann-Sofie Back SS10 @ Topshop

The last time Ann-Sofie Back launched her collection at Topshop, I was somewhat disappointed ... more with the quality than the design. But i do love her slashing skills oh so that i'm super-desiring her new pieces for s/s '10 ... trying to decide now which is the piece I can't live without:

1.
£55 beaded vest

2.£50 slash dress

3.
£70 sweater

I love the intricate details of the beading - that's really beautiful and delicate.......but i'm much more into my slouchy dresses right now... so i might have to opt for the jersey slash t shirt dress! as much as i like the texture of the sweater... and the slashing at the hem.. i fear it might fall a little flat and the linear slashes at the chest might look a little too contrived.......

Ohhhh times like this i need to pop to oxford circus store and see the pieces for myself!! GUTTING i am now back in notts.

S/S '09 favourites .... Ann-Sofie back, of course

The shows have begun, and one of my favourites designers is up first! woop. i must say i think her 2008 shows were way better... not as wow'd by this show but nevertheless, skill and yummy draping is always a winner with me.

S/S 08 is still my favourite from her so far, but I'm still a fan!

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.
