Ioannis Dimitrousis

We are just loving fashion week this season! Never mind the weather, when you get to spend your day looking at fantastic clothes all is definitely right with the world! We saw some amazing pieces made by Ioannis Dimitrousis the other day... Here's some pics we took of the oh so fabulous dresses. He uses traditional hand crafted techniques of crochet mixed with semi pecious stones, crystal, pearls and beads through scarves, tops and dresses.

Party at the Bluebird...

Party party party!! and don't we deserve it!! The hot Womenswear label Rika celebrated their new collection and the launch of a super cool magazine at the Shop at the Bluebird on Thursday evening, and of course we were there to help! The raspberry martini's and moscow mules flowed while the beautiful and stunningly dressed fashionistas of London shmoozed. A very enjoyable night, except for the TWENTY minute queue for the loo, and the fact it takes sooo long to walk down Kings Road!! oh well good exercise, and didn't suffer too much of a hangover in the morning! Well done us... here's a few pics to entertain you...









The first of many parties to come... oh fashion week!

AW10 Showcase...

Woolrich Woolen Mills, Autumn Winter 2010 showcase!! Last week we were host to lots of lovely press people who came to get a good look at the coming A/W season collection from Woolrich Woolen Mills. It's the penultimate collection for Japanese designer Daiki Suzuki, and his signature style has remained with a classic and chic range... perhaps his best yet! Of course we took a few pics so you can have a sneak preview too! Enjoy!


















This season's theme is Hunting Noir. The colours have been kept to a subtle range of blues and blacks, with the occasional grey and white. Very subtle, yet very stunning. Stay tuned to find out more about the collection... and to take a look at the current SS10 pieces check out the website: http://www.woolrichwoolenmills.com/

Trip to the trade show!!

An interesting trip to the Pure london trade show in Kensington Olympia. Well.... If we'd have been on the ball and got the right tube we may not have gotten lost and wouldnt have been so cold and frustrated by the time we got there! But still a v insightfull trip, and lucky you, going to tell you all about it!
 




There were many established cool brands there, and the massive venue made it all quite exciting... Also the sweets on each stall made the peckish pair of us a little happier! We decided to concentrate on the newer smaller brands and found some really funky ones!

 

This Tee is made by a little company called Brat and Suzie They make hand printed men and women's illustrated t-shirts, vests and canvas bags featuring cute and quirky animal illustrations - pirate cats, biker squirrels etc... yes you read correctly, biker squirrels!!

 

YourEyesLie was another that caught our eye.... Online store also with a shop on Carnaby street many funky printed tshirts and dresses.

We may have only ended up there due to a power cut at work but a fun afternoon it turned out to be, saw lots lots of lovely new clothes and met some new contacts, success!
