Christopher Raeburn AW14
Luxe sportswear in the Arctic is the message Christopher Raeburn was trying to get across and he definitely succeeded in that respect.

Central saint martins MA Fashion / LFW Day 1
The Central Saint Martins MA show is the best way to spot and get to know the designers of the future. In my case it was even more interesting to see this show and the final result of the students’ collections as my Journalism course is closely connected to the Design course (both under MA […]
My Flash Trash Bloggers event
Online jewellery shop My Flash Trash held a bloggers event today at Aubaine in Marylebone that involved decorating muffins and biscuits with sprinkles and edible sparkly diamonds.

LC:M Day 2 – Crombie presentation and Liberty x YMC x Men’s Health Party
At Crombie’s AW14 presentation the style is kept as traditional as possible but with a modern twist.

Other archive heritage […]
LC:M Day 1 (part 2) & Mulberry party
Last for the day was the Richard Nicoll show, which was my favourite.
