FIFTH AVENUE SHOE REPAIR

Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair is a Swedish brand I have been keeping my eyes on for some time now. They're on the verge of becoming the new Acne.
The brands focus is traditional tailoring, pattern cutting, eye for detail and quality.
And its done beautifully in a simple, yet elegant and modern way that Scandinavians are so good at.
mid cut sneaker €325
New Trouser €213

Flower Tee €100

IN LOVE WITH GARETH PUGH 2010 S/S

Absolutely in love with Gareth Pugh. Most people that know me, know that I consider him to be a brother from another mother.
Gareth evolves greatly from season to season, bringing us an almost wearable collection for s/s.
I'm particularly in love with the corseted looks for men and "the post-apocalyptic princess look" to quote Tim Blanks review of the show.
I am going to be dreading of using Gareth Pugh for a number of shoots this year for sure.























ATTITUDE - NO SWEAR

Director Oliver Warren of 'Get Sexy' by the Sugababes fame, created this fashion short to supplement the October issue of Attitude magazine.

MARC JACOBS TO STAR IN GAY REAL HOUSEWIVES?


According to New York Posts blog The Cut, TV land is buzzing with rumours of Marc Jacobs having signed on to star in a reality show in the style of The Real Housewives for gay network Logo.
The Cuts quotes a 2 year old interview with Jacobs where he stated his interest in his own reality show; "all aspects of my life. All the drama, the intrigue, the sex, the romance, the work. I’m a shameless human being".
I'd love to see Jacobs being the annoyingly spoiled housewife, or maybe he'll be the rich sugar daddy.

LA ROUX - I'M NOT YOUR TOY.

As La Roux prepares for US launch of her smash album, she releases one of my favorite tracks from the album "I'm Not Your Toy".
Absolutely in love with the video, but why does she have to be such a tomboy all the time.
But it's not about the look with Ellie I know.


ALEXANDER MCQUEEN A/W 2009 CAMPAIGN


I absolutely loved the A/W 2009 from Alexander Mcqueen. I think it was the perfect mixture of English heritage and the depression era type of mood in the world at the time the collection showed.
I love that they kept it fairly simple for the campaign, yet capturing that same mood.

JOSH BEECH FOR FULL CIRCLE





The perfectly mixture of goth and cute, Josh Beech fronts UK brand
Full Circles campaign together with Eliza Cummings.

ROBERT PATTINSON FOR ANOTHER MAN MAGAZINE



Robert Pattinson shot by Hedi Slimane for one of my favorite men's fashion mags, Another Man Magazine.
I can see the hype of Pattinsons vampire but I prefer Interview with a vampire so much more than twilight.

Dont know how old this clip is but I find it hilarious. Its a miracle what shoulder pads and heels can do to a girl.
I'm glad she found her inner fabulous.
