London Fashion Week : Marko Mitanovski


It's not every day you attend a fashion show where the models are painted head-to-toe in black paint and dressed in latex and leather designs, some of them resembling architectural sculptures. Marko Mitanovski is a London-based Serbian designer , who, over the last few years, has been gaining quite a fair bit of fame. He has a passion for the colour black, he describes it as being his favourite colour. His designs are favoured by Lady Ga Ga which should come as no surprise given their innovative nature. 

London Fashion Week, in general, is renowned for crazy and original designs but this was probably one of the more memorable and innovative ones I attended.




 And for the finale - we've got a bit of white contrast ...

Outfit Post : London Fashion Week : Day 3




I started off the day with breakfast at the fabulous Sketch and a braid  at the popup THE BRAID BAR store that was setup at Sketch  for London Fashion Week. The concept is really interesting, they have a braid menu and addons you can do like these pom poms and rings.





After breakfast it was back to the shows

London Fashion Week : Orla Kiely A/W 15



I've seen so many catwalk shows and presentation over the last few days - I've tried to instagram at least one pic of each of them but I haven't managed to write about each and every one yet. On Day 2 I went to what is still one of my faves - the Orla Kiely A/W 15 presentation. Orla Kiely in general has always been one of my favourites but her presentations are brilliant and super original. This year she created a whole library, I can only imagine how long the setup took. The wooden tables, old copies of vogue, lampshades - simply awesome.

The collection has a running theme of both 60s and 70s inspiration . The models were all decked out in grey stockings and styled with a mix of clashing colours, prints and patterns that just worked really well. The lemon yellow coat has my name all over it. The accessories and shoes (Clarks collaboration) are also great.

London Fashion Week : Street Style - Handbags



One of the first things I notice in an outfit is the handbag or handbag(s) as the case may be. There's something about a beautiful bag that can simply complete an outfit and make it stand apart. There's quite a variety of different styles of bags at London Fashion Week. I wasn't at New York but from the pics I saw, it was all about quirky-as-hell, original bags. Funnily enough even though London is the city with the most eclectic fashion it seems to transcend more in clothes rather than bags.

Here's a few street style snaps taken by Kurt Paris with bags worth of a photo or two..

Outfit Post : Swaddled in Fun - Day 2 at LFW


Day 2 at London Fashion Week and today was the day that I decided I need to be somewhat warmer and my feet needed to get a little less tired - many shows and much running around from one place to the other. Started the day with breakfast with Lulu Guinness (more on that to come) and ended it with a beautiful night view of the River Thames followed by a trip to M&M store and a delicious meal in Chinatown.

London Fashion Week : VIN + OMI A/W 15



I tweeted throughout this show - '

' Now this is what exciting fashion is all about - well done guys '

After last September's VIN + OMI standout show, I was looking forward to this one and I was not disappointed. The show and vibe was electric, the venue (The Drury Club) wonderfully exciting, the clothes even more and a guest list of vibrant, eclectic dressers including Pandemonia.

Their press piece includes the statement that apparently in the future people will be breeding their own livestock and making their clothes from fleece. A whole lot of sheep was used in the making of their collection and the designers thank Pedro, Mary Joe, Floss, Dandy, Mr Fluff and Doris for their contribution.

Their message is that instead of oversized fur coats, they've produced oversized fleece coats and those animals are still alive and kicking.

The collection also included some lovely long dresses with beautiful vibrant prints with strong, rich colours.  Some ex

These two mad geniuses have a passion for exciting fashion that is fun and unpredictable.

London Fashion Week : Jasper Conran


At Jasper Conran yesterday - the winter colours- dark navy, plum, ginger and vibrant shades of green  are both simultaneously rich and muted. The designer cites as inspiration 19th century prints from the designer Kunisada.

The collection is tailored but the actual pieces have are relaxed, loos fit - the vibe is wearable, comfortable fashion. The cashmere dresses are in my opinion the standout pieces within this collection, the patterned fabric adds an exciting twist but it's the lovely fabric that really stole my heart. There were also some exciting hats on show that added a bit of an edge to the styling.

A very wearable, luxurious collection.

Outfit Post : 70's Vibe - LFW Day 1



This is my second time at London Fashion Week and it's a whole lot colder - freezing well and truly. This makes choosing what to wear, especially with limited luggage allowance much harder but well - what a girl gotta do, a girl gotta to do. I decided to give a nod to the '70s vibe that's really trending for Spring with my first outfit. I wore a head band and an actual vintage '70s frock coat (the blue one).

I was reasonably warm until the evening and then - I literally froze - today I must have more reinforcement.
Waiting to be let in for the first show of the day

Trousers : Kenzo
Coat (Black) :  PINKO

London Fashion Week : Designer J. JS LEE

So I'm in London, a rather cold and wet London but at least right now I'm sitting in a warm press room typing away this post. Started the day by getting registered and watching the first scheduled show I received an invite to - J. JS. Lee - a very talented woman. 


A lot of woman will find something to love in this A/W collection, which for the first time includes British heritage fabric brand 'Hainsworth' - it's elegant with masculine undertones - lots of oversized coats and knits that cocoon the body in wonderfull textures. There were also some sharply tailored, chic blazers and A-line dress with a 60's nod.



I particularly loved the fur pieces, maybe because I'm such a fur fan and this particular piece is pink ! But also, a lot of brands, shosp and designers use faux fur but not all of them manage to make it look this stylish and well-fitting.

 Great start to the day !!!
