I left College early today, due to the fact that my Media Studies lesson was cancelled for a reason I can't quite recall. Anyway, when I got home and graced Youtube (this isn't something I do regularly), I was welcomed with the likes of Marina Diamandis and her phenomenal new single, titled Homewrecker.
Marina has once again outdone herself, and despite the fact that an official video has not yet been released, I already know from previous experience that it will be just as phenomenal as the s... Continue reading ...

I wanted to take a minute or two to introduce you all to a wonderful aspiring photographer, who most definitely fits the bill when it comes to the style of photography that I personally admire. Charlotte King resides in South Gloucestershire, United Kingdom and is currently a photography student at the Bristol School Of Art. With her being just 19-years-old, I'm somewhat surprised to see the sheer amount of passion she has for photography, and I... Continue reading ...
(Image credit: She Died Of Beauty Spring/Summer 2012.) I'm sure that you're all familiar with the beautiful thing that is She Died Of Beauty by now, and if not, you're truly missing out. Just in case a number of you have been hiding in your bedrooms without a laptop or computer for the past God-knows how long, let me briefly update you. She Died Of Beauty is a project by longstanding friends supermodel Erin O'Connor and stylist Kate Halfpenny. The pair have developed a quirky graphic label w... Continue reading ...

What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind Adolfo Sanchez?
The Adolfo Sanchez aesthetic can be described as unique, beautiful, edgy and timeless.
What were you doing before you formed Adolfo Sanchez?
I started working in retail when I was 16-years-old. I quickly climbed the ladder in the world of retail and ended up working at some of the top fashion houses like Gucci, Versace, and Carolina Herrera to name a few. While at Carolina... Continue reading ...

Currently playing: The Drums - DaysIn addition to The Drums being one of my favourite bands, the video to their new song is not just phenomenally arty, but exceeds the majority of others I've seen. It really is great, and if you don't give it a quick glance, you're missing out! Continue reading ...
(Image credit: Lazy Oaf Spring/Summer 2012 Menswear shot by Bella Howard.) As expected, the Lazy Oaf Spring/Summer 2012 menswear collection and lookbook is just as phenomenal as the womenswear collection and lookbook, which I typed about in yesterday's post, Lazy Oaf Spring/Summer 2012 Womenswear. That's right, 2 Lazy Oaf orientated posts in 2 days.Whilst the womenswear collection featured fruit, floral, animal and asymmetric prints, the menswear collection has headed in a slightly different...

Once again, London-based art-graphic label Lazy Oaf has torn in another season with a phenomenal look book. Yes, I appreciate that some of you may feel that they have been producing these admirable accumulations of imagery consecutively for a more than appropriate amount of time, and they have been wonderful so often that they're now getting boring, but no, not me. I'm still hooked on the on the stuff, and might eve... Continue reading ...

Note that all answers in this interview were provided by Florence, Italy-based illustrator, Francesco Lo Iacono of INVERTED COMMAS.
(Image credit: Illustrator, Francesco Lo Iacono.) What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind INVERTED COMMAS? I guess it's all about the characters and the colours. I try to create characters that reflect some of our deepest feelings. I talk about hope, desire and disappointment; strong feelings that we try to control or fight. Most of those characters...

(Image credit: "The Meeting" by Simon Ekrelius.) Simon Ekrelius is a genius! I know I’m not usually this upfront when it comes to dishing out compliments, but it’s true, really!
“The Meeting” is the title of Simon’s Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, and as stated before, it’s got genius written all over it. I know it’s still early days as far as Autumn/Winter 2012 goes, as we’re still currently lapping up Spring/Summer 2012, but I honestly feel that this may be one of my favour... Continue reading ...
(Image credit: Macha for Marques´Almeida.)
Macha Jewelry is a reasonably new discovery of mine, and admittedly one of them labels which I glanced at once or twice, liked, and then regrettably ignored for a more than appropriate amount of time. Note that the reason behind my ignorance towards the label was primarily due to the fact that I discovered the label around the same time I was starting college, and was therefore extremely muddled up with life in general, and what colour biro I sho...

(Image credit: "ROMA-NZA" by MARK/GIUSTI.) Even though I'm personally not a huge fan of slicked back hair and flawlessly formal suits (primarily due to the fact that I couldn't pull them off, even if my life depended on it), I can't deny the fact that MARK/GIUSTI is a brand which I genuinely admire, and the work of Lebanese accessories designer and label founder, Mark Farhat is most definitely worth observing. For those of you, who are not familiar with the work of Mark Farhat, please do l... Continue reading ...
(Image credit: Live Free, Ride Hard by Miista.) I will be the first to admit that I'm not exactly a savvy shoe shopper - yet I won't deny the fact that I know what I like, and can spot an admiral pair of shoes a mile off. Miista is a footwear brand which was founded by Laura Villasenin, and is based in Hackney, London. Even though I have been somewhat taken by the work of Laura Villasenin for a while now, I believe that this is the first time that I've posted about Miista. The reason for th... Continue reading ...

After sifting through an array of questions which I asked various designers a while back, and then stored in a Microsoft Word document on my memory stick (with the motive to use them at a later date), I came across a question which I asked jewelry designer, Bita Pourtavoosi. The question/answer read...What would you say has been your biggest inspiration, in both general and design terms?Bita kindly answered my question with..."My inspiration is obtained from a range of different places. Growi... Continue reading ...
