42. House of Holland






This is a RAD video from House Of Holland.
its sort of a video lookbook for a/w 11.
starring the lovely Dee Hemmingway ,
Pixie Geldof and the man him self Henry Holland.
loving those earrings.
you should also check out the amazing House Of Holland x Linda Farrow eyewear they re rocking for s/s 11 these TRANSLUCENT specks are my fav.
sadly it says "These glasses are fashion accessories only and are not adapted to filter UV light" so maybe not worth the £141 price tag.

37. Rodarte for OC


Photobucket

Another great collaboration with OC.
i find summer clothing to be so refreshing,
it really makes me look forward to June when its hot outside.
i love all the dusty floral prints Rodarte has used and the pajama top and pants are awesome. the sunglasses are all so
nice as well (too bad all glasses look terrible on me). they have a nice small bag range u should see, the Cylinder Belt Bag made up of vintage styled tooled leather belts wrapped together is really nice. But enough of me chat’in shit u really should take a look your self words can not describe. here are my favourites.

32. Jean-Charles De Castelbajac


ÜBER TROPLIKAL AIRLINES




the JC De Castelbajac's s/s show went airline/jungle safari.
complete with printed neck rest's and a dose of felix the cat.
the eiffel tower necklaces are rad. the use of colour is wild and "exciting" with all the aztec prints and massive bangles.
now I want to be a flight attendant.....

24. The Heathers



Betty Finn was a true friend and I sold her out for a bunch of Swatch dogs and Diet Coke heads. Killing Heather would be like offing the wicked witch of the west... wait east. West! God! I sound like a fucking psycho.


Photobucket

witty, intelligent, hilarious
This movie was the original version to Clueless, and Mean Girls. Without this movie… those movies wouldn’t exist.
everytime i watch it im fascinated with the clothes (i even used them once in a mood board),they are a croquet-loving foursome. queen bee Heather Chandler (heather 1), Heather Duke (heather 2), Heather McNamara (heather 3), then there is popularity rebel Veronica Sawyer, each Heather having there "own" colour and Veronica being the rebel breaking away from it.

These popular bitchy girls have no problem expressing themselves through their clothing,accessories, and general appearance, styling is important, and this clique has perfected the practice.
Hair is carefree. wavy and cool, not overdone. Heather Chandler and Heather McNamara rule with there mess of curls.

Lacy socks with plaid flats, floor-length pink brocade robes and body-con mourning dresses are some of the favourites of the heathers.but we also have J.D. who is the personification of psychotic cool, with his signature small, gold hoop earring in one ear, and foreboding long black trench.

If you havent seen this movie yet, you should.....NOW

21.Luella Bartley




I believed the Luella brand was young, fresh and fun.
it never followed the trends really, always doing its own thing.
A particularly British style with a quirky underside.
she was once a "poster child for London cool", don’t you know?
the punk-influenced twists are constantly recognizable in her design's,
clothes that look like a gorgeous wardrobe of a particularly cool aristocratic teenager. i myself am just fascinated by English style and that unkempt rock'n'roll dishevelled look with all the other stuff in-between. like i think she even once said. you can go out in these clothes, get drunk in them, fall over in them, be sick in them and still look awesome.


FROM TOP CLOCKWISE: eyeball logo A/W 08, Fox A/W 07, Owen Plummer man A/W 09, high as a kite unknown, Danceing hare A/W 08, Batman S/S 08, crying pyramid A/W 09, Pirate S/S 06.



my favourite ever show of hers has to be the Goth witch show of a/w 08.
I’m very partial to a heavily themed collection its just so interesting.
all the ribbon's and bell's. the witch theme worked so well that season with most other designers going for a more harder look she keeped it soft but with a sick edge. the bags were also amazing! check out this £700 customized Stanford sheepskin satchel after the jump!



Then when she join forces with zine artist Owen Plummer it was the most righteous collection ever! (couldn't help myself buying the £90 key rings from Colette, what was i thinking).


Its just so sad she's stopped designing. Her show's were one of the show's I always looked forward to at London fashion week. That small something that took all the seriousness away from fashion, because after all fashion is meant to be F.U.N

peace.

17.Clownland and witches

I was surfing the hordes of shit on the web.
When i came across this Greek-Cypriot designer called Marios Alexander, who’s apparently all up and coming you know...well his SS11 line is pretty impressive. He was inspired by performing arts, the idea of a role. He's exploring how costume can be manipulated into a "fashion statement".

Clownland is meant to reflect the life of modern men, making an alternative perspective on luxury clothing because of its contemporary feel.
This shirt covered from the neck in bells is a sure winner (although the noise would drive anyone insane)

I also watched Sabrina the teenage witch movie today.
God, i loved the 90's. it was soo stinkin ( another word for NAFF ), but soo stinkin it was amazing if you know what i mean? the good kind of ugly.

i loved the bit where she's like to sabrina
And they were.

13.A.P.C Resort 11




Jean Touitou launched A.P.C (atelie de production et de creation) in 1986.
he made simple & chic casual wear for men and women.
which at that time made quite a fuss compared to the maxima fashion of the 80's.

A.P.C remains on the a pillar of coolness even today.
Its urban staples scream "I look effortless.... even though I spent an hour in front of the mirror". Its the cool boys and girls destination for Breaton - striped sweaters and denim. With the likes of Alexa Chung stepping out in their dungarees, You know u cant go wrong with this hipster Parisian fashion line.
The resort collection for 2011 seems to keep it simple for the boys, taping into the colour blocking and minimalism trends.

While for the chick's its the same but with a lot more denim.
she’s got nice hair hasn't she...
