Cos Spring/Summer 11
It's no secret that I'm a huge Cos fan; I rave about it to anyone that will listen.
However, I took a friend in the Oxford Street store to break their Cos-virginity recently, and felt personally responsible when we both walked out empty-handed and a little disappointed.
Please don’t despair, as I’ve just browsed through their spring/summer collection and it’s fantastic. As we come to expect, there are some great easy-to-wear, minimalist pieces in classic muted colours. These are perfect for bridging the gap from day to night, and work wear to out-of-hours. My personal favourites are the black high-waisted trousers (above), and long-sleeved v-neck dress (below). I can’t wait until pay day to start shopping!
Backstage at Osman, London Fashion Week A/W 11
Osman is known for his architectural designs for the thinking woman, and this was certainly the case at London Fashion Week A/W 11.
The hair and beauty being created backstage were strictly architectural too, with black, shoulder-length, angled bobs being clipped.
The look that Osman wanted to resemble was: ‘I have been up all night cutting my hair with my boyfriend’s clippers, my bangs are too long but I am hiding behind my fringe.’ This hung on the wall as a mantra for the stylists. However, my personal favourite was the line, ‘Think about chopping vegetables.‘ Needless to say that a designers’ creative license is greater than yours or mine...
The result was a chic and edgy look which echoed the designs from the collection. I’m sure that we’ll see this look coming to a street near you...
London Fashion Week A/W 11, Street Style
One of the best things about London Fashion Week is the people watching, in and around Somerset House.
I could spend endless hours looking at the street style on offer in the most creative of all the fashion capital's.
Here are some of my favourite street style photos:
I love the combination and strength of the black-rimmed glasses, gothic lipstick and green boyfriend blazer.
Great gold studded detail on these otherwise casual trainers.
This gentleman reminds me of a forgotten age, with the cravat, military coat, tweed trousers and highly-polished shoes.
Who said that fashion is for the youth.
A big thumbs up!
Colour blocking - my favourite trend this season!
Teamed with a felt hat and she's good to go.
One of those looks that would never work on paper,
but in person it's a triumph.
This is all that's great with English eccentricity.
I saw bow ties on men everywhere at LFW (inc. three on the front row at E. Tautz alone). Men start digging out yours!
Jonathan Saunders, London Fashion Week A/W 11
Jonanthan Saunders created one of my favourite collections of London Fashion Week!
The collection is a beautiful mixture of roaring 20s
inspired prints, including a beautiful bird print
(a LFW mini-trend in itself this year).
I loved the colour palette from the shades of emerald and sapphire to the soft cream and sophisticated black.
What I love more than the shows itself is
spending time backstage.
I really enjoy watching the whole process unfold from the hair and make-up to the catwalk run-through.
Jonathan Saunders was a particularly good show to be at backstage as there was a fantastic atmosphere!
Here are some of my photos from backstage at Jonathan Saunders where you can see the models getting the final touch for the catwalk show above. What did you think of the collection?
London Fashion Week Top Ten A/W 11
Firstly, sorry for the HUGE amount of time passed
since my last blog post!
The past fortnight has been manic, both in the build-up to,
and during London Fashion Week and I feel like I haven't stopped.
I think that I've only just managed to come out the
other side with the help of my two best friends Mr expresso and Miss Berocca.
It's been an exciting few weeks working on LFW
and I can't wait to tell you all about my favourite bits...
Firstly, it makes sense to start from the top and tell you
about my favourite shows from LFW.
You can also remind yourself of my highlights from last London Fashion Week.
So, here is my top ten of shows:
2. Jonathan Saunders
3. Acne
4. Erdem
5. Burberry
6. Christopher Kane
7. Roksanda Ilincic
8. Holly Fulton
9. Charles Anastase
10. Richard Nicoll

Prada S/S 2011 Ad Campaign

What’s not to love about the
feel-good Prada Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaign?
The film features top models dancing energetically in
a striking array of clashing coloured stripes and accessories on acid?
On my wish list are the crazy sunglasses - they are crying out to be worn at summer festivals.
More videos please Miuccia!

A Privileged Life
With the turn of the New Year, we can now all start looking towards spring for new fashion inspiration. Hurray!
I’ve been having my weekly browse at the net-a-porter.com magazine, and I really like the vivid New England preppy ‘Privileged Life’ photoshoot.
Maybe it’s the bright spring colours that attracted me just as I’m getting tired with the winter darkness, or the fact that the jewel colours remind me of last season’s ISSA show which was one of my faves. Enjoy!
