What hasn’t she been called! The grandmother of punk, English queen of fashion or chief rebellion of fashion world – are all about Vivienne Westwood, one of the most bright stars in the sky of vogue, and simply a talented woman, who acquired such head-spinning success in the designer circles with out any generally accepted education.
Once Vivienne Westwood started the ball rolling, women dressed in corsets as outwear. She also made known mini-crinis, bondage trousers and those notorious 12-inch platform shoes, over which Naomi Campbell tripped at catwalk.
Although Vivienne draws her inspiration in the past, often bringing back to life the forgotten elements of historical dresses, you hardly can blame her in being conformed. Whatever she’s been doing – making clobbers for “Sex Pistols” or creating garb for “Sex and the City” – it’s never dull, but always innovative, yet very bold.

FCUK Clothes

French Connection has been producing clothes for both men and women since the early 70s, but the real success heaped on this company was about 20 years later, when observant Trevor Beattie, the guru in the advertising world, perceived the gold mine in the brand’s abbreviation. French Connection was immediately renamed into suggestive FCUK, and even though it provoked rather contradictory reaction in the public, the goal was aimed – an overwhelming popularity on a world scale. The tees with the descriptions on them, playing on the controversial “fcuk”, were snapped up in a twinkling of an eye, and wherever you cast your sight, you could see something like, “Born to fcuk”, “Fcuk like a bunny” or patriotic “Fcuk for England”.
Apart from these not to every taste t-shirts, FCUK also sells wearable, yet still stylish clothing for pretty much every occasion, although casual clothes seem to prevail. The range of quite original coats and dresses usually highlights FCUK outlets. Not everyone is prepared to fork out £100-200 for a dress, so hold on for a while till the sales period then. Normally there are generous enough discounts, so you can end up grabbing a great snip.

P.S. And don’t forget to ask for your student discount, if you are still an undergraduate, of course.

Stella McCartney Clothes

Notwithstanding some people sarcastic comments regarding hustling into the world of fashion owing to her daddy’s name, Stella McCartney defined herself as a talented designer long time ago, having proved that her success is not only because she is the daughter of one of the Beatles.
Stella’s clothing is notable for its flowing lines, forming devoid of aggression, very feminine silhouettes, making a woman to feel cosy, yet comfortable. Another distinguished feature – is lack of fur or leather in any of her collections, but instead the usage of various textiles and fabrics.
Some of Stella McCartney’s collections look more simplistic than the others, but you can’t really detract her clothes from the lack of elegance, which allows them to look fresh and contemporary as the seasons pass.

Ted Baker Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 21:54:00 +0100

If you are after a nice number for a special occasion, whether it’s a wedding or Christmas party, any of Ted Baker’s outlets are not such a bad place to pop in for browsing for something with an air of uniqueness on it.

Ted Baker brand has been considered by many people as the high end of high street, which is often reflected by the tags on its clothes. But having said that, you get what you pay for – well made and designed stuff with a touch of sophistication and classic, which won’t look shabby after few washings, and likely will set up home in your wardrobe for a long time.

Ted Baker shops have slightly cranky sizing system, so be aware that 0 is equivalent to a UK 6, 1 - to a UK8, 2 - a UK 10, 3 - a UK 12, 4 – a UK 14, and 5 a UK 16.

Have you heard about “Ted Shed”? Well, if you are addicted by Ted Baker clothing, you probably have. But for those uninformed – teds-shed.com is a website, selling the brand’s apparel that isn’t available in its shops anymore. It means that the clothes aren’t from Ted baker’s current collection, but who cares, when the prices drop to tempting 30, 20 or even 20 quid?

Ben Sherman Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 23:21:00 +0100

Ben Sherman brand emerged in those light-hearted 60s, when London was swinging and exceptionally opened-minded to innovative things in all spheres of life. Hard to tell, what particularly original the youths found about Ben Sherman’s altered replicas of American button down shirts, but it was greeted extraordinarily well, and later on adopted by the skinheads and mods. As we all know, fashion is a quite temporary phenomenon, but with time Ben Sherman managed not only not to fall into decay, but also to thrive and spread all around the world. It’s quite amusing, that nowadays even some American fans of the brand seem to forget where its creator was drawing his inspiration from, and call his clothes “the embodiment of English style” or “quintessentially British”.
Ben Sherman caters good quality casual clothes for both men and women, although it’s fair to say, that this is predominantly guy’s brand. Style wise it’s smart, but nothing too imaginative, definitely a safety choice. The prices are relatively reasonable, although there is always someone complaining that 30 quid for a t-shirt is too steep. Well, it might be, but, hey guys, don’t forget that, after all, you pay for the label, or to be more precise, for satisfying you ego, so thus you have to give on something.

Where to buy Ben Sherman clothes in London:

• 50, Carnaby Street (Tube: Piccadilly Circus or Oxford Circus)

• 49, Long Acre (Tube: Covent Garden)

• 39, Savile Row (Tube: Piccadilly Circus)

Religion Clothes

The Religion brand appeared at the outset of the 90s, when teenagers were listening spellbound to “Nirvana”, and expressing their disparaging attitude to the mainstream by spunky, audacious manners, as well as intentional negligence in wear. Today most of those rebellious youngsters grew older, settled down, and swapped their torn jeans and leather jackets for respectable-looking suits. Notwithstanding the time has mellowed the “Religion’s” youthful edginess, and it acquired more glamorous touches, you can still perceive very distinctive traces of grunge style in the brand’s collections.
Nowadays you’ll doubtfully shock or surprise anyone by wearing destroyed fabrics or t-shits with provocative, anarchic graphics. But if you like to stand out from the crowd, or got bored with your image of good boy or girl, the Religion’s brand, with its tendency to fearless experimental designs, will be definitely to your taste.

Where to buy Religion’s clothes in London:

• 154, Brick Lane (Tube: Shoreditch High Street)

Burberry Clothes

Since the 19th century Burberry has passed through the evolution of transformations, having been associated with unfashionable bores, as well as with chavs and yobbos. Only not a long time ago, with the help of a massive promotional campaign that involved such celebs like Kate Moss, Emma Watson, or Sarah Jessica Parker (you probably remember her wearing that light-blue coat for a very acquired taste in “The Sex and the city”), Burberry turned into the sort of “crème de la crème” and “every fashionista must have” brand. It is also extremely popular with tourists, who seem to find something “quintessentially British” about Burberry’s clothes and accessories, worldly renowned for its classic black, tan and red tartan. If you find the brand’s stuff a way overpriced, but still fancy of its iconic trench coat or any other item, Burberry Factory Shop in Hackney can be the option. It’s a little bit off the popular tourist’s routes, and some might gripe, that the place is too tricky to find. Having said that, it’s well worth a trial, because this factory shop sells Burberry’s products on clearance prices (from 20% to 70% off the original prices), and you’ll likely fish out something for your taste. Beware of the lack of fitting rooms, but after all, if you are about to snap a great bargain, it’s not really a perceptible drawback, is it?

Barbour Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 8 Oct 2010 22:59:00 +0100

Barbour Down Explorer Jacket

If Barbour was a car, it would likely be a land rover, and if it was boots, it would be wellies, that’s for sure. Just quintessentially British, yet very practical. For a sizable part of its history– more than a century – it has been known in the country mainly as the supplier of men’s and women’s sports and activity clothes. Almost undestroyable Barbour wax or waterproof jackets are indispensable for any outdoor pursuit that suggest quite harsh weather conditions. But functionality does not always catch up with fashion, and although nowadays “Barbour’s collections are more contemporary than in the past, there’s still a somewhat of a preconception in some people minds regarding Barbour’s clothes being “for older” and “not cool”. But, after all, it’s you, who will be the judger. Though you might find that the brand’s outlet at Carnaby Street has a larger and more updated selection of clothes than any other Barbour’s shop in London.

BHS Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 7 Oct 2010 23:24:00 +0100

You can fairly often hear that, BHS, or British Home Stores, is a poor man’s Marks&Spencer, although in defense of BHS it’s worth saying, that even if there is a difference between these two chains, it doesn’t seem to be too tangible. As its contender, BHS trades not only in clothes for the whole family, but also sells a massive range of household goods.

The numbers on price tags pleasantly don’t shock, the quality of the clothes is fairly good, however, in general, there is nothing exceptional about BHS wear – it all look pretty much casual and suffer from lack of character. Though the children’s clothing department, with its particularly popular “Tammy girl” range for teens and tweens, is fairly nice and worth a quick nose. There are surprisingly stylish baby dungarees, bodysuits, dresses and other lovely stuff for little fidgets.

BHS also usually carries a vast stock o Christmas gifts at very alluring reduced prices. So if you are the budget conscious one, and have a massive kith and kin, for whom you don’t want to appear as a tight…, well as a penny-pincher, by buying Christmas gifts from Primark or your local Asda, BHS might be a really good option for you and your pockets.

• Unit 46-48, Shopping Centre, Red Riff Road (Tube: Surrey Quays)

Jigsaw Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 6 Oct 2010 09:50:00 +0100

Equally with some who find Jigsaw clothes dull and frumpy, there are others that eulogise them as being extremely classy. Well, as they say, tastes differ, as well as the truth is somewhere in the middle. I would not call the brand’s outfits “updated clobbers for mums over 40-s”, but neither I classify its clothing as the embodiment of style and sophistication.

Jigsaw obviously aims to the highest mark of the high street shops’ scale. The quality is definitely above the average (as well as the figures on the price-tags), and the clothes are smart, although more in business casual way, rather than in dressy or even flashy one. If you are a fan of quirky, floral patterns, Jigsaw Dresses will be to your taste for sure – from season to season they are always well packed with floral dresses.

Karen Millen Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 5 Oct 2010 22:03:00 +0100

The Karen Millen’s story of success is truly inspiring. Back in the eighties, with a very modest loan of £100, the then obscure graduate of Medway College of Art started her designer career by tailoring shirts to her friends. In a very short time her business grew from a shop in Maidstone into a recognisable brand, with many branches all around the world. Although since 2004 Karen Millen is not at the helm anymore, thus it had been sold to an Icelandic company, the philosophy of the brand remained untouchable. It still enraptures its she-followers by chick and elegant outfits, with interesting details, and quite often very sex-appealing snug cut, proclaiming style and femininity. The prices head in the direction of designer’s outlets, rather than high street shops, but unless you care about if not fashion, but your style, Karen Millen clothes is a good money investment. With their classic upmarket designs you can be sure that they will not become out of date in a season.

River Island Clothes

Masterly combining the latter tendencies of haute couture with moderate prices, “River Island” have mainly gained the popularity in the midst of teenagers and students, who bother about the last trends, coming off the catwalks, but have not earned for the authentic Dolce & Gabbana jeans or Roberto Cavalli dress yet. The prices fluctuate from £24-40 for tops and t-shirts, £20-90 for casual or party dresses and £30-50 for a pair of jeans. Some stuff looks slightly overpriced, but in general there are a lot of garments of very decent quality to pick from, just have a proper browse. The brand’s flagship store at Oxford Street can be extremely busy, but probably has the largest range of men and women clothing than the other River Island outlets in London, so don’t tick it off from your shopping route.

Lipsy Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 09:11:00 +0100

Although Lipsy brand sells all types of wear for women, it has mainly become associated with party dresses. Frilled or asymmetric, ruffled or bowed, printed or sequinned, provocatively garish or decently plain – they seem to satisfy every demanding fashionista’s taste (though most of the numbers appear to be designed for those girls, who like to be in the centre of everyone’s attention. The quality and pricing seem to match each other (Lipsy Dresses prices vary from 50 to 80 quid in average ), but it’s fair to say that probably with out promotion of British and Hollywod starlets or X-factor’s contestants, occasionally appearing in Lipsy’s clothes, the brand wouldn’t be as massively popular as it is now.

Primark Clothes

Primark is a special phenomenon. Shopping in Primark is probably like stuffing yourself with chocolates after midnight, you know that it might be not good for you, and that your waist won’t become slimmer, but still can’t resist this present little weakness. Even those who slag Primark for lousy quality, for mess and crowdedness in their department stores, for exploiting child labour in third world countries etc., etc., etc., visit it now and then. Why? Because, such words like “bargain”, “extremely cheap” and “to buy for a song”, are akin to the balm for people’s ears. And after all, who cares if a 3 quid t-shirts moulders away after the first washing?

Miss Selfridge Clothes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 15:18:00 +0100

In these high street women’s clothes shops the typical customers are sprightful fashionistas of 15-25 years old, although we are all 20 year old in heart, aren’t we, girls?

Miss Selfridge always does its utmost in keeping up with the last trends of fashion. In spring 2010, they even launched the collection of dresses, based on the style of “Gossip Girls” main characters. Even if you are not fashion- addicted, Miss Selfridge might worth a visit. Very feminine-looking tops, skirts, dresses and other stuff feature quite pleasant prices without looking cheap and tacky at the same time. There is also a quite decent assortment of girly underwear that is often being sold at very alluring prices.
