March 1st, 2010 · 2 Comments · Designers, Fashion, London
Michael Van Der Ham has been one of the most talked-about designers at London Fashion Week this season (apart from the unanticipated kerfuffle over Hakaan), with almost every editor or blogger worth their salt, gushing over his super feminine, jigsaw dresses.

Alluring, coquettish, enigmatic and knowingly seductive – this is the new French Connection woman. Paying homage to their name, French Connection have reinterpreted their image with a chic new campaign for Spring/Summer 10, inspired by French New Wave cinema.
The provocative FCUK logos that were so synonymous with the brash 90s have been replaced by a demure, [...]

LFW Day Two: Jacob Kimmie at Vauxhall Fashion Scout
February 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Designers, Fashion, London
Jacob Kimmie’s show was one of the highlights of the Vauxhall Fashion Scout schedule and his collection was certainly one of the most dramatic, much helped by the spectacular Masonic Temple location.
The self-taught South-African designer’s monochrome A/W 10-11 collection, ‘Pilgrims’ was inspired by modern Aztec spirituality, Inca temples and religious rituals. The delicate ruffles and [...]
