Estelle Dévé.

Ahhh the glorious Estelle Dévé. We already all love her because she was born in France. And everyone knows that it's not just rumour and hearsay that French women are cool. Because Charlotte Gainsbourg told me it was true. 


Dévé's jewellery is inspired by the earth, literally. Geology, palaeontology and the ocean all appear to be influences on the texture and aesthetic of her work. It reminds you that gold and silver are natural elements. Which sounds pretty stupid, but THINK ABOUT IT.

ULTIMATE.

YES. Oh yes. Finally, after idiotically selecting USPS standard airmail on the shipping page of Nastygal, the Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane boots of my dreams finally arrived. I wore them all day running around the office on Friday, and they served me well. Although they make my feet feel so gigantic I kept tripping over rails of bags.

RCA Fashion Show 2012

On Wednesday I had the honour of supporting my fellow students by attending the Royal College of Art MA Womenswear, Womenswear Millinery, Fashion Knitwear and Menswear postgraduate shows. Some particularly brilliant collections came from Trine Hav Christensen, Hannah Morgan, Rebecca Thomson and Rachel Chan. I am graduating amongst some absolutely brilliant talents, many of whom have already been snatched up by internationally renowned design houses and ateliers. A huge congratulations to you guys.

Rei Kawakubo | Dover Street Market | Comme des Garçons

"I want to create a kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and encounter each other in an ongoing atmosphere of beautiful chaos: the mixing up and coming together of different kindred souls who all share a strong personal vision." - Rei Kawakubo on DSM

Rei, I bow down to you. You have brought us the inimitable Comme des Garçons and created the universe's greatest retail experience in the form of Dover Street Market. Your influence has spawned likes of  LN-CC and Maison Martin Margiela. What can I say? You are my god.

Tank Magazine.

Some freaking great editorial in the Spring 2012 issue of Tank Magazine.

today is an ombre floral day.

This shit makes my Thursday much better. 

new in.

I got this amazing shirt in H&M today. You could probably set the fabric on fire just by looking at it, but I'll just steer clear of naked flames/cigarettes/very warm lightbulbs/the sun. Although their fabrics are always the worst kind of polyester, H&M are damn brilliant at stealing beautiful style details from the catwalk: see Louis Vuitton's collar above.

Jeffrey Campbell.

Got these babies at Urban Outfitters today. The textured leather is glorious, and I'm obsessed with anything that looks like it could be considered Japanese Lolita/gothic. I think they will be pure perfection with black jeans and a black tee and rows of small silver hoops in my ears. And they'll make me taller. So maybe I'll clear the heads of 8 year old children in them.
