lady gaga

just wanted to write this to promote lady gaga a bit more over on this site on the pond. i reckon she will be the hot new thing in the coming months, she signed to dr dre so i hope she wont turn to ghetto as she is already a bit of a chav. but look yourself, i think she is rather good. also check her website if you have a minute or two, the first page that comes up is really worth looking at!

is it me or do the boots above remind you of gareth pugh a bit?

Walter Van Beirendonck

Just wanted to quickly show some respect to Walter van Beirendonck who people tend to forget about on a regular basis, as he was part of the antwerp famous six it is quite hard to beat dries van noten at the moment, but im sure his time will still come to get the international recognition he deserves. you might have seen his strange head pieces he designed for ss 08 which were all over uk mags a couple of months ago, and worn on the cover on a recent arena homme plus

latest collection:

love the cover, so not winter but oh so spring already

freedome of speech

Shingai Shoniwa of the noisettes is a total idiot!

last night in london...

last night was a bit mad in london, it all started of with the comme de garcon launch at h&m, which was fun with oysters and champagne. if you are into comme de garcons classic dotted way overdone and so last seasons design then head there to get it for cheap (although cheap is relative) overall im quite fond of the collection, well done you!

after that we went to the Tank 10th anniversary party at fucking vendome, quite possibly the worst venue in the whole of london, you'd think people would learn after the ppq disaster there. it was very laim, shit music and shit drinks. good goody bag though (i stole 2, up yours tank) which included a £15 voucher for Liberty, Obsession by calvin klein fragrance, fake eye lashes, tea, make up and chocolate, ce parfait.

a friend of ours hosted a night there which was fun, kicked off after midnight, with percy from ppq hanging around surrounded by about a million underage ppq muses, funny to look at in his worn out adidas trainers.

deutsch: love this new cover

got this sent on monday, love this cover. so simple and beautiful: simply stunning

DEUTSCH

and another magazine...

today i got the first issue of Buck in the post and i dont know what to say. i thought it would be amazing, but.. erm its not! the front cover is of ritchie foster (the for no reason oversuscribed model at select who has a mouth like a horse) i mean the concept 'new fashion furniture & food for men' i quite like, and some of the editorials are rather good but then the photoshoots are probably some of the worst ive seen in a long time. the mag tries to bring a very british vibe across which it does in one way or another but the bad layout and overall design of the zine doesnt implement that at all i find. below is an image from one of the editorials which is alright, but i found the front cover too bad to be posted here (or anywhere for that matter), take examples from mags like Exit, Deutsch or even Distill who are innovative and different. anyway, see for yourself...

erin vs kate

did you know that erin o'connor has never been on the cover of vogue alone??!!! i think this really quite funny since there has been such a recent obsession with her here in the uk, kate moss has been on 26!! the most anyone has ever had. above is the may 2003 cover shot by nick knight, one of my all time favourite covers

Nick Knight live stream

in case you all missed it today, nick knight had a live stream of his Let there be light project, today was lilly donaldsons turn to get shot for there 2009 v magazine editorial.

check the vids out, quite interesting for you who arent so familiar with what goes on at a shoot

Men's Vogue: bad news

conde nast will fold the standalone title Men's Vogue and add a section to Vogue itself.
now men won't have any excuses buying VOGUE

agent provocateur

... is hosting a party this thursday at koko in camden with a runway show.

since its koko, it might be a little cheesy especially if the public will be allowed in.

kill those f#cking UGG boots

Girls- Why?

since this australian chavtastic boot got popular over here in the uk i couldnt stand the sight of them. just look at them, they look like shit, are manufactured to the lowest standards and are worn by every 'wannabe it girl' (including the real ones) this planet has ever seen.

so please, i beg you girls and (some) boys, dont wear them, you look like dickheads in them- they might be mega comfortable.

YACK

as an alternative I suggest the very classic and stylish miu miu flats for you as below.

buy similar ones here: http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Miu_Miu/Shoes

or the actual ones at a miu miu store. go on, do it, buy yourself some taste girls.

tartan overkill- and henry holland is copying others AGAIN

as you probably have seen for yourself, tartan is back and certainly will be worn everywhere fw 09. look at dolce gabbanas designs below as much as i love the design, i am not so sure. living in the uk i love everything british but seeing from an italian label left me curious, id much rather buy garments like that from vivienne westwood, who uses tartan in almost every collection.

shortly after we the dolce ads were published, aggys muse henry holland came out with almost the exact collection- only difference was the colour, everything was blue. (i have to admit that i dont actually mind it) the whole fashion industry is one vicious circle, decade after decade people will be copying in each other, which is cool, at the end of the day this is how trends a are created but for the love of god be a bit more subtle HENRY.

Comme De Garçon for H&M

last week on the 8th of november, the new CdG collection launched for h&m in tokyo, the collection will officially launch and be in stores in the uk as of the 13th. it looks really good, after the rather shitty collection of kate moss lets hope itll be as succefull and internationally respected as viktor and rolfs and karl lagerfelds collections.

soho house berlin

i guess you probably know this already but soho house is coming to berlin at the end of next year. the building is amazing, its an old jewish department store, then turned hitler youth "playground"on torstrasse in mitte/prenzlauer berg. it will have a cinema and of course a roof top pool as in london and new york and soon in miami, chicago etc

tonight..

PPQ- down the drain

Right, PPQ has finally done it. peaches geldorf designing her own capsule collection for them is by far the saddest thing the fashion world has seen this year, well in the uk at least, fair nough ppq has this whole it-girl following and uber cool, but COME ON!!
if you wanna go to the launch party, its this thursday at movida, even that says it all.

purple, this is rather embarrassing for you.......
