Kane Close-Ups

The inimitable Christopher Kane has done it again.

Clearly feeling confident, and rightly so after his recently signed deal with PPR, Kane ticked all the boxes with his A/W 2013 collection. Admittedly it took a few once-overs to take it all in (60 looks made for a pretty meaty collection), but it pretty quickly became one of those stand-out shows that just keeps on giving in terms of detail and technical precision.

And while the camouflage kilts and fur coats are seriously covetable thanks to Kane�s wearable breed of cool, I think its when you get a little closer that those intricate details really come into their own. Take the undone loop-stitch seams on the velvet pieces for example. So perfect in their imperfection you wonder why you ever wanted a dress that didn�t fall open at the seams.

Country Girl

 Did a little thing with Asos recently for their October issue.  It was such a fun day with a really cool, welcoming team so massive thank you to all involved for making it such a great day.  It was the day before I flew to Spain and was the perfect start to my holiday. The jumper in the top picture was my fave piece of the whole day and definitely on my shopping list-I think I will actually turn into a waffle knit this winter!

I'll post the link when it's up on the asos site as it'll probably be easier to read the interview from there.

Crazy Cool and Clashing

Crazy, eclectic but very cool....Abbey Lee's hat reminds makes her look like a much cooler version Eddie from Ab Fab and I have totally fallen for those Giles leopard print sunglasses.  And the woman in the bottom pic is basically a tutorial on how to clash prints and colours...makes me and my black-based get up feel dull dull dull.

All thanks to...stockholmstreetstyle 

Burberry Prorsum A/W 10

Who needs sunshine and bikinis when you could have shearling coats and sheepskin flying jackets by the infallible Burberry Prorsum.  After longing for longer days and sunny mornings, Burberry's amazing collection has reawakened in me a love for chilly winds and log fires...Clearly Khaki and military earthy tones are here to stay and there's a real russian army vibe going on, which I've noticed in a few collection so far.  Think this winter will be a big mix of traditional highland tweeds and Russian military tailoring and detailing, softened with bits of wispy lace and draping, flowing fabrics that move like a dream....I'm excited already.  And of course, Burberry pulled in an epic front row...any show that pulls the Olsens over the pond deserves a round of applause.  

But, looking ahead to summer....booked my summer hol today to Greece today with freddie.  Whoooo!  I'm looking for a half price Missoni bikini and plotting my (imaginary) yoga routine already.
