THERE IS LITTLE WISDOM BUT MORE THAN ENOUGH PLEASURE

10 wows from Spanish Moss Vintage.

  

Don't even get me started on their vintage band tees...

GON' HEAD

I haven't been totally truthful - I actually have been to London Fashion Week this season. I was invited to EcoLuxe by the lovely designer Ilya Fisher, who makes beautiful handmade silk shibori skirts (more on her later methinks). 

I was really curious to go because EcoLuxe is full of designers who have committed to making sustainable clothing - a good cause. Also, lots of them are quite interesting; my favourites by far were the co-founders of Etrala, Emilio Portes Cruz and Maria Rodrigues Liñan. The clothes they make remind me a little of Monki - very playful, with bright whimsical details - like bright lining in the coats, pockets and hoods, as well as contrasting trim on collars. First pics below (all from their fb):

HERE'S A THEORY FOR YOU TO DISREGARD

Someone recently asked me how my blog was going in the light that it's fashion month around the world. I (obviously) didn't have much to tell her. You see, just like most fashionistas worth their salt, I've recently become more interested in acting. (Of course later on, I'll probably just want to direct but we will cross that bridge as and when).

This is far from the end however, and I actually have been dressing as decadently as before - just ask my coworkers. My favourite brand of the moment has got to be Spanish Moss - I'll be a good blogger now and show you why...
