There will always be something that we can’t afford — no matter how deep our pockets are. But do we really need to ignore these things? Why not stop by and allow ourselves to dream a little bit? When it comes to clothes we are lucky enough to be able to try such things on. [...]
If you’re shopping for something really anti establishment, Ann Demeulemeester, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, Dries Van Noten will probably be the first names to drop into your mind. Not all of them have their own boutiques in London (only Maison Martin Margiela and Rick Owens do) so your only chance is department stores and [...]
There are two ways to realise that LN-CC actually exists. You either find their online store (which is — intentionally — not on Google’s top 10) or you hear about them from your friends (sometimes word of mouth is still more powerful when it comes to shopping). Their stronger-than-fire concept won’t make you indifferent. Comme [...]
Tickets sold out online, fashion crowd (and not only) at the entrance, not a big chance to walk in. Design Museum is flooded with louboutins. It’s weird seeing so many shoes and not being able to try them on…It’s almost surreal that the shoes you were trying on, buying, wearing, loving or hating just yesterday are [...]
While we were preparing this Fashion & Travel inspirations board an important (a very impostant!:)) question dropped into my mind. Are we really allowed to take a gap year only once in our lives? Is it always about not having any money, sharing flats (if not rooms) with strangers, and all those things that are [...]
She used to work at the office, used to plan her life around the office, used to hate Mondays and celebrate Fridays — nothing to do with fashion….She once decided she was done. She changed everything — her life, and her profession…An incentive manager became a fashion stylist and designer. She never looked back from [...]
Trend is that this season’s shirt dress is not necessarily a boyfriend’s shirt. Rather, it’s a sophisticated approach to comfort and glamour. Or anti-glamour. Although “shirt dress” sounds (and feels) pretty casual you can style some shirts up and go wherever you need to go. London City or Fabric — you will be fabulous. You [...]
Despite this whole alternative thing about Alternative Fashion Week there’s been a lot of looks and ideas that could go into your wardrobe straight away. Or at least they would offer you some new directions in your everyday style. This alternative Grand Finale will show you the most wearable and adaptable though creative and unconventional [...]
These collections are making me think — do we really need so many clothes in our wardrobes? Or is it just lack of personal vision (or laziness?) One of best alternative trends seen at Alternative Fashion Week was the exciting use of DIY! Plenty of ideas were in the air, but these two designers impressed [...]
The day started “as usual” — wigs, studs, leather masks, oranges (dare you — not to eat, only to wear!), threads, horses (ok, just prints), horns, tales, latex, feathers… When all designers are under one roof preparing their shows, you will unlikely guess why some wear these little horns or are wrapped in threads…Backstage mess [...]
Models turned actors wow on the catwalk, British working class and the Addams family join together as an inspiration (don’t even try to guess, you’ll fail), pieces made of — attention — music, nightmares and cozy pillows all come to live…Welcome to Alternative Fashion Week… A lot of things are alternative here. “Front row” here [...]
We keep feeling retro and child naivity just like 60 years ago. To follow the 1950s trend we focus on skirts rather than trousers, wear high-waisted, full, A-line, or pencil cuts. The length should slightly cover your knees. Ankle length can be an option too. Pay attention to tops – only certain necklines were popular [...]
Now when it’s warm and sunny and summer wardrobes are out why not get into a trendy mood of American Vintage? Fashion designers and High Street retailers have been inspired by American 1950s. Here are some inspirational picks to shake up your closet. Soft colours, retro styles, lower heels where possible, cat-eye frames are essential [...]

Many of these Chanel looks made me doubt – even though they’re in part “yes” (see part “no” below). Let’s try this. Imagine you have spare £100K to spend which translates into 8-15 of these looks (optimistically but next to impossible when we have coats)…How many would you be ready to buy? WAIT! THERE’S [...]
Let’s talk about practicality and appreciation of clients’ money. In the end of the day it’s them who pay for this “fashion” party every time they shop. Having in mind that each look is going to cost at least £10000 (and unfortunately it’s way too optimistic), how great it makes you looking, and how close [...]

The critics are being condescending to Dior showing their “fashion” attitude – “not creative enough”, “without a vision”, “too commercial” etc. It’s just that they have these pieces only if they get if free or buy them for ridiculously cheap prices during press days (and Dior is exceptionally generous in that sense – don’t tell [...]
