(Image credit: A-Lu-Ha by Lu Flux.) Despite the fact that favouritism when it comes to various designers and labels is not something I personally advocate, I cannot deny the fact that London-based designer/label Lu Flux is one of my all-time favourites, and I follow each and every collection and/or piece with great passion and admiration. Even though it may come across as a cliché, I personally feel that being a designer is about being creative and having a somewhat careless attitude when ... Continue reading ...

In addition to questioning designer, Diana Martinez of Estela Balan about her childhood aspirations earlier this week - today I bugged New York-based street-style photographer YoungJun Koo of I'M KOO, and asked...
Where would you consider to be your favourite location when shooting street-style? YoungJun kindly answered my question with..."If I'm totally honest, I really love Manhattan in general. My favorite spot is most probably Greene Street and Spring Street in Soho. Not only do a lot of my... Continue reading ...

(Image credit: Longshore Parka by PYRUS.) Even though I tend to spend excessive amounts of time scanning the internet for emerging, independent and unique designers/labels - it seems that there are numerous corners which I have left unturned. Two or three days ago I was flicking through Young British Designers (an online-store/boutique for emerging, independent and unique designers which I have bookmarked and thrown into my list of favorites) and came across PYRUS. PYRUS is a London-based wo... Continue reading ...
I'm pretty sure that the majority of you are aware of that fact that I'm a fool for anything a little out of the ordinary and unique by now - and that's where the Bernhard Willhelm Spring/Summer 2012 womenswear collection comes in. Bernhard Willhelm has once again pulled the hat out of the bag (or the rabbit out of the hat) when it comes to his Spring/Summer 2012 womenswear collection, and I have to admit, I've never ...

For some reason, I tend to find squeezing information out of designers, bloggers, photographers and artists somewhat joyous - and it seems to be an 'obsession' of mine which is becoming increasingly admirable. On that note, I bugged designer Diana Martinez of Estela Balan and asked...As a small child, what did you want to be when you grew up?Diana kindly answered my question with..."I've always wanted to be a fashion designer - yet at one point, I did turn to tennis. I wanted to be a professi... Continue reading ...

(Image credit: Black Summer/Leon Sadler by 2 Many Printers.) Yesterday, whilst flicking through the blog of London-based photographer Viktor Vauthier, I came across a reasonably dandy collection of images which Viktor snapped for Brighton-based art-graphic label, 2 Many Printers. This is the second time that I have been introduced to a brand new label via the blog of Viktor Vauthier - with my discovery of Lazy Oaf towards the end of 2011, and therefore (as I'm a reasonably courteous guy) tha...

Note that all questions in this interview were answered by designers Petter Hollström and Gorjan Lauseger of Stockholm-based label, Odeur.
(Image credit: Nocturnal Dreams by Odeur.) What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind Odeur? The aesthetic behind Odeur is the clean androgynous cut, graphic silhouette and a new story behind each collection.
What were you doing before you formed Odeur? Both of us went to school, but we were not studying fashion. We are also currently working ... Continue reading ...
(Image credit: Pocket Full O'Posies by Kelly Love.)
Two or three days ago I received an email from the wonderful Kelly Love, notifying me of the official release of her spring/summer 2012 collection, Pocket Full O’ Posies. Kelly was actually kind enough to give me a sneak peak of the collection around a month or two ago, after receiving the official look book images from her photographer; yet I’ve been forced to keep my lips firmly sealed since. Now that this collection has launched, I... Continue reading ...

(Image credit: Giraffe Boy&Elephant Girl by INVERTED COMMAS.) Illustration is an art form which I've regrettably never paid much attention to, yet with my recent discovery of INVERTED COMMAS, an Italian label by Francesco Lo Iacono which offers exclusive illustrations printed onto organic cotton canvas tote bags; I have been drawn into the growing fad that is an admiration for quirky digital prints and cartoon-like graphics. For some reason, the thought of strutting down the street with a pr... Continue reading ...

What were you doing before you formed Manley?
I was interning with Alexander McQueen in London by day, whilst managing a restaurant/bar by night. That time was very important for me; a huge learning curve. Having to work at night so I could intern for my dream fashion house by day is a daft concept, but I feel that I proved to myself just how much I wanted it. A bit of hard work does no harm; it prepared me for the hard slog of setting up my... Continue reading ...

Minus the odd tweet or Facebook status, I don't believe that I have officially introduced you to the coolness that is The Cool Hour, and I have to say, I'm absolutely appalled with myself for not doing so. I simply cannot believe that I've sat here hogging this uber-cool internet destination to myself for so long.
If you haven't managed to catch one or two (or maybe even three) of my tweets; let me enlighten you. The Cool Hour is basically an uber-cool online mag... Continue reading ...

I wanted to take a minute or two to wish you all a Happy New Year, and also to thank you all for supporting both myself and the blog over the course of what is almost one whole year. Leading up to now, I have been given some fantastic opportunities, made some delightful friends and connections, and enjoyed myself more than I ever thought I would when I first began writing this blog. Yet not to worry, as I have deemed this as the beginning of something exciting, and have some fantastic project... Continue reading ...
