Lomography Love

J'adore this parisian style camera.




Sold only at Urban Outfitters, this Diana camera (which dates back to the 60's in Hong Kong) has had a french makeover.

For those who may be unaware, the Diana camera produces soft-focus pictures, radiant colours and brilliant contrasts. This camera can also take pinhole and endless panorama shots.

HOW perfect and ideal for the Summer. Teamed with rolled up jeans and espadrilles - channel your inner European man. Tandem bike is optional.

ASOS Marketplace

Bored of high-street?
Bored of high-end?
Fancy something that no one else is going to have, or want to go out with the feeling that you’re not going to bump into someone wearing the same t-shirt or trousers?

Make yourself a bit more individual with a touch of an independent designer.
A personal champion of these, ASOS has really helped back my whole ethos of staying away from the mainstream whenever you can.



ASOS marketplace is a destination for all you men (womenswear too) that want something a bit more personal. And it’s not just independent online boutiques, but also just normal people selling factors of their own personal style and vintage retailers. Even the photography style showcasing the clothes and accessories is more of a street style, a rather casual method of capturing the items.

BieberFever

Now, I am not advocating Justin Bieber in any way, shape, or form.
But I do admire his stylist slightly.

Where I'm coming from is his shoes. Let's be honest, he can't swan about next to Colin Firth at the Oscars, or pose next to P Diddy at the Grammys dressed as smartly and maturely as they do. So he does it with a twist.



Oscars after party with Selena Gomez



Grammys

Shirt - check
Tie - check
Waiscoat - check (instead of blazer which may drown him, smart move, well done)
Suit trousers - check (awful material, but that's by the by)
Shoes - check (well not shoes, but trainers, but smart trainers, high tops - let's ignore the high platform sole!)




At a price of £625, you may think these are unreasonable. But they're no ordinary black trainers. They're real leather high-tops designed by the great Rick Owens. Although you can't see on this picture, the inside of the trainers have a zip detail and the laces and panelling detail make for a better alternative to military boots, brogues or your everyday trainers.

McQueen A/W 11

McQueen's menswear collection, shown at Milan was quintessentially reminiscent of an olde world England. But wearable.
When looking through the pictures from the catwalk show, I found it hard to narrow down the most significant designs.


Reminding me of something that would have been worn at the battle of Trafalgar. Also take note - white trousers were rife on the catwalk


Doesn't look like capes are going anywhere, take a leaf out of the ladies' book and steal their fashion. This time round the trend is for men.


Sportswear turns luxurious. Thick, quality leather mixed up with a smart coat and sporty look trousers.


My favourite look altogether from the show. It's smart, casual, colourful - brilliant for making an impact.


Shearling looks like it's staying. Keep it fresh by opting for bright white rather than hiding away in black, browns or greys.


Possibly the most sensational Winter coat I've seen. If you have the funds to treat yourself, do it. You're not going to regret a classic like that.

Well done Ms Burton

Thom Browne A/W 11

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIRimfe9UV0

When looking at Thom Browne's collection that was shown at Paris Fashion Week, I was not expecting what I saw. Reminding me of a McQueen show, the catwalk included an 18th Century long dining table, complete with guests, food and animals.
And it looks like this year, the tables are turning.





Headwear was rife - anything from chunky headbands and knitted beanies to feathered top hats and trilbies. And prints reminding me of Vivienne Westwood Anglomania - clashing red and blue tartan, with black and white checks. A sense of womenswear was also visible. Forget women wearing tuxedos and rocking menswear. This coming A/W is all about men wearing capes, dungarees, and mohair ankle length skirts - if Thom Browne has anything to do with the fashions.



And I seem to feel that maybe Mr Browne has been influenced by Johnny Depp? I'm talking the Mad Hatter ankle-grazing trousers and floor length tail coats (we're looking at the 1800's here). Then walking canes and small, circle framed glasses aka Willy Wonka style-ee. And swash-buckling waist belts and gauntlet leather gloves to channel Captain Jack Sparrow. Ahoy.



I like the collection, it has imagination and creativity. What do you think?
