Erdem’s Colour Vision

Erdem’s Tomoko sunnies with Kyoto print £290.00

Anastasija Kondratjeva in Erdem's Tomoko sunnies

A collaboration between two amongst London’s sea of talents – the iconic eyewear label Cutler & Gross and the celebrated fashion label Erdem – resulted in something magnificent. With its colourful Kyoto watercolour-printed frame in classic sixties style, it looks like this edgy pair of Tomoko sunnies (£290.00) from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is the perfect accessory to accompany me during the flamboyant season whether in the city of by the beach. Mmm… Fantastic!

Lanvin’s Carnation Revolution

Lanvin's Fabric Carnation Brooch

Lanvin's Carnation Comes Into Bloom

A ball of fabric standing on a pin may not sound exactly like something exciting. However, given the creative treatment by Lanvin’s magnificent menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver, magic just happens! Available in four different delightful colours – white, navy, grey and plum, Lanvin’s Fabric carnation brooch (£99.00) is simply an amazing accessory to bring an extraordinary sense of softness to a man’s tough look. Beautiful and brilliant at the same time.

Available at Harvey Nichols.

Tear & Wear Inside out

T-Shirt by Inside out

Torn tee & cardigan print top by Inside Out

Ripped and torn could look utterly unbearable and heinously hideous, if not done correctly. Thank god we have Inside out! With its exquisite eye for quality and design, the 2007-born British label totally rocks high fashion’s lavish version of the derelict look. Designed by Central St. Martins Graduates James Woolfin and Yvette White, this long sleeved T-shirt (£165.00) is our pretty pick of the pack. We just love the exuberantly eccentric print, which features an incredible image of a torn tee and cardigan. It adds flair to the look and turns this simple garment into something genuinely fantastic that deserves to be bought and worn a.s.a.p.!

If I Lay Here in Stella McCartney’s Lingerie…

French model Morgane Dubled shows off Stella McCartney’s Lingerie Collection Fall/Winter 2009

French model Morgane Dubled shows off Stella McCartney’s Lingerie Collection Fall/Winter 2009

Each season, I look at Stella McCartney’s lingerie collection and it has never let me down. Stella has definitely convinced me that wearing granny’s high-waisted underwear is actually cool. Although she has gradually moved on from grandma’s undies in terms of conceptual designs, her understated collections remain sensual and alluring.

You Make The Sun Shine Brighter Than Doris Day

Richard Nicoll's sunny resort 2010 collection

Richard Nicoll's sunny resort 2010 collection

When I first spotted Richard Nicoll’s sunny resort collection at Harvey Nichols, the ultra cool beverage of Orange Mocha Frappucino, as drunk by the four fantastic male models in the movie Zoolander (2001), immediately popped straight out of my mind. I like the warm, fuzzy and uplifting character of the collection. It truly radiates this “you make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day” character. Presented in the picture above are:

Bloody Inspirational

Keith Haring Leggings From Alexander McQueen

Keith Haring Leggings From Alexander McQueen

When I shop Alexander McQueen, I always know I am buying something creative and utterly unique à la mode. His Keith Haring leggings (£380.00) are no exception to the above-mentioned category. The almost tattooed-like print work is indeed inspired by the graffiti meets pop art style of the iconic artist of the 20th century – Keith Haring. The overall imagery of these perfectly fitted pants brings to mind something that is wholly blood and flesh as well as themes that are personal yet unreservedly universal, as the American artist’s work often conveyed: birth, death, love, sex and war. We love these bloody red leggings, not only because they are bloody stylish and bloody cool, but also because they are truly deeply inspirational.

Available at Harvey Nichols.

I didn’t find the coat I was after, however, I did find three other statement coats for this fall/winter. Here they are from left to right:
