"New in": Yohji Yamamoto Y's for men 2005

2012-02-20T18:06:00.001+00:00

Got my hands on this amazing silver piece from Y's for Men F/W 2005.

Snapped a picture from the lookbook to give one of many ideas on how to wear it.

It's interesting, you can wear the Angel wing on top if you are in a good mood or the opposite way around if you are slightly pissed off.

By the way Im sick, so afraid there's going to be 0 updates from the LFW! :(

New in: COS and Yohji Yamamoto + re-soled Acne boots!

2012-02-14T19:40:00.008+00:00

From the top you can see a leather key strap thingy that I got a few days ago from COS, think it was about £10, so it's a good budget purchase as the ones from Ann Demeulemeester, Damir Doma or random luxury designer retail for £100+.

Secondly from the top we got my new Yohji Yamamoto boots from A/W 11-12. Absolutely love these boots, perfect with the zipper on the side and the leather is soooo soft.

The sole is from Vibrant, which is very well known for their quality and mix of strong rubber. It's definetly a favourite of mine as they do seem to hold on for a lifetime!

Last but not least we got my absolute favourite boots from Acne 09, the reason why these are in this post is because I had to resole them and they were literally DEAD with the soles hanging loose as I've been wearing them every single day all the year around. Looking forward to tomorrow when I can wear them! :)

The new sole is from Vibrant aswell and I have to say that I almost prefer them with this sole in comparison to the old one. However he did polish the leather a tad bit to much, but that will wear off with time.

Tomorrow Im attending two events, one via LCF which is private to kind of start off the LFW on the 17th and secondly Dash Magazine launch party, get ready for loads of pictures!

Store Guide London - Acne pt1!

2012-02-08T21:02:00.008+00:00

Press the pictures for bigger resolution.

I've decided quite recently to do a guide on all of my favourite stores in London. As I do know more or less every single clothing store worth knowing I figured it would be a good way of sharing with people who might not have had the chance to go here before or even Londoners looking for something new and interesting.

Starting of with Acne, located on Dover Street which is parallel to New Bond St, located in Mayfair, one of Londons slightly more posh areas, with loads of high end luxury shopping such as Dior, Prada, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Hermes Alexander Mc Queen and loads more.

Without counting the small concessions in numerous department stores around London, this would be Acnes only proper store, covering 4 floors of the brand!

I really do like this place, not just due to the fact that they are selling Acne, (which happens to be a Swedish favourite) but also because of the open plan concept and the white interior covering the space all the way from the laminate floor to the amazing high ceiling, which can be seen on the 4th floor where I snapped these pictures.

I think the reason why it's a bit of a favourite is because it reminds me of Sweden and my own home, which happens to be all white aswell.

Anyway, not going on for to long I would just like to say that It's definetly a store not to miss out on, and it just happens to be located right next to two other favourites on the same street, John Rocha and DSM!

LCF EXHIBITION VICTORIA HOUSE PART 4

2012-02-01T05:17:00.000+00:00

All of the pictures above, MA Fashion Footwear student, Ross Barber.

These shoes really did catch my eye, I noticed straight away that Ross was working in some kind of 3D for the sole, he describes them as following: "A hybrid fusion of traditional shoemaking and 3d print technology".

He furthermore told me that it's like a contagious virus breaking through making the sole and we can follow every stage of it starting from left and working our way up. I really do find this mix interesting as I do know the amount of time that goes behind making these patterns. And the fact that they are actually wearable as we can see Ross wearing the one with the smallest "infection" does definetly not make them less interesting!

Update: Ross won the Jimmy Choo MA award aswell and receieved a sum of £1500!

Neil Barrett popped by to say hello to Ross and I snapped a picture while he did!
