The NME Awards last night was a pretty stylish affair, most of the music crowd were dressed smartly although no one went for broke like the Arctic Monkeys at the Brits.
Loden Dager for Uniqlo
New York label Loden Dager are the latest in an
increasing line of designers to team up with Uniqlo,
creating a Spring/Summer mini collection. The collection is strong, with the
check shirt being the only really ugly piece on it. Some might say it’s a bit
dull but it’s a collection designed for high street consumption, so that
criticism is like complaining that you can’t wear Gareth Pugh’s collection to Tesco.
Wearing one colour all the time
While not as interesting as Lindsay Lohan going impersonating Marilyn Monroe, there was an intriguing feature in New York magazine about
topless
people who wear all one
colour. Don’t worry, black wasn’t allowed – otherwise it would have just
been a feature on Goths.
Update: Ewan McGregor for Davidoff
A few weeks ago, I posted on the first pics from Ewan McGregor’s campaign for Davidoff’s ‘Adventure’ fragrance. So when this TV advert rudely interrupted my usual Sunday morning T4 routine, I was surprised to realise what it was. Unlike most luxury label adverts, this little film is subtle, succinct and pretty spectacular.
Puma x Yo! MTV Raps
Following on from the Alfie x Puma
collaboration that reader Jerome posted the other day, Puma have gone even
crazier with these Puma
First Rounds. Continuing their collaboration with the Yo! MTV Raps series,
these trainers are custom made for Cool
Kids fans. If hot pink doesn’t scare you, then you can get these from
boutiques come spring.
Burton get a bit cheeky with their Japanese Denim
If you’ve looked at our Jeans coverage in
the past then you’ll know all about raw & selvedge denim. You’ll also know
that the best selvedge denim comes from Japan. Not necessarily all denim from
Japan is expertly made on great looms and this is why Burton’s attempt
at Japanese denim is a bit cheeky.
Pete Doherty turns down modelling gig
According to Dlisted, Pete Doherty has turned down a modelling job offer from lastseason.com because there wasn’t enough money it.
Perez Hilton looks vile… again.
I can’t really be bothered to talk about any of the men at last night’s Brits. What a snivelling, dull bunch they seemed next to all those fabulous dames. Makes me want to become a lesbian.
Another designer robbery as MAN designer James Long’s autumn/winter 2008-9 collection goes missing
This is becoming absurd, not to mention extremely frustrating to read about. Vogue.co.uk reports that MAN designer James Long has had his autumn/winter 2008-9 collection stolen. The young designer suffered at the hands of thieves a mere hours after his show took place last Friday. We reviewed the MAN show earlier in the week.
Unconditional at London Fashion Week
Unconditional is without doubt my favourite collection which shows at London Fashion Week. Autumn Winter 08 is a real return to form for the label with some fresh new looks. Last season’s show was nice, but was a bit of a safe collection for them, delivering more of the same fine gauge knits, draped and gathered garments and chest-baring T-shirts …
