_In Suburbia

Hi all,

Again it's been too long since i last posted!

As you might know i do love a bit of menswear, and as it isn't always seen i wanted to share with you some of my favourite collections.

Here it is, he is Benjamin Bertram and a stunning collection, defiantly

a treat for your eyes!!!

Benjamin Bertram has a theory of his own when it comes to fashion: in times of financial instability, creativity is born. 

 Following this idea, decided to base his Menswear Graduate Collection: Suburban Boys around the idea of the disenfranchised youth in Britain, taking inspiration from Suburban Subcultures as well as what he calls “the boy himself”, 

this idealised image of “a cool street lad with a cheeky wink”.

_Praha

Boom! 

I am off to Prague again! it has been a year and i have missed the city!

It's a flying visit of 2 days but im sure i can do enough shopping, drink as much pilsner as

my body can take and eat 100 tatranky's!!

I wish all of you a good weekend!

_Niels Peeraer

A pastel-colored fairytale about a boy who prepares himself every day to marry his imaginary 
boyfriend, while wearing his grandmother’s couture jackets, wrapped around tweed, fake fur, tulle, sequined silk and stunning leather accessories.

           For this collection was inspired by a very feminine Asian boy, while his main goal was about blurring the line between women’s and men’s collections.

_Sunlight

hey,

It has been too long, have been very busy at university

and it was my birthday!! now am an old lady of 22!!!

Anyway here are of what have been getting up to!

It's a mish mash of things so keep up!

The lovely Utrecht!

Utrecht Centraal Museum

Maison Martin Magiela

                        Was taken to China Town - London for an Early birthday present from my friend Zuza, who then took me to Jamie's Italian for a 3 course meal!

 The only decent images from my birthday, as i was snap happy and they were blurred and i was a bit drunk!

But my gorgeous friend Kasia came to visit and we had a great night at 256 in Manchester!

The ever increasing stress in my life, my little work space an Uni, with some of my designs, i am not at all organised :(

_Woolrich Woolen Mills AW '12

Mark McNairy launched his AW 2012 collection at Pitti Uomo in Milan.  The mix of wool, corduroy and synthetic materials are beautifully balanced, along with a subtle colour palette.  It also shows a good use of technical fabrics and wearable basics.

_Acne Resort Collection 2012

hi, been a week since i last posted, crazy busy at university, anyway came across Acne's new

collection for 2012.

Acne are a great brand, as they don't try too hard, but still pull off effortless style and appeal in their simple

but stunning garments.

 What is especially striking is their silhouettes mixing over-sized and fitted pieces, their lightweight sheer fabrics paired with sweats with their pastel color palette. The Resort 2012 women collection is all about comfort and style; something which defines them as a brand.

_Envy

Only this will create envy and distract the most concentrated person and lead them to madness

i don't know what it is, but we are drawn to them like moths to a flame.

In love with the fist picture, i want them so much!!

_Lookbook Boys

Something nice to see is men dressing good, lets face it, they don't always do they?

My boy lives in jeans and t-shirts and a big old beanie on his head!

Some visuals for you and also spent about 2 hours just looking at stunning boys!

_Inspiration Colour_ White

_It's doom and gloom, always raining, cold and windy, so here is something to brighten the mood,

a flash of white, slowly trending and coming our way....

See more underneath.

_Kubickova

Ahoj!

An amazing Czech designer i must share with you all!

Zuzana Kubickova

Beautiful and delicate clothing with exaggerated hips and soft textures that 

make the model float instead of walk.

Embroidered lace pattern and laser cut work across the the garments and 

on the knees of the stockings and truly amazing.

So simple and delicate how they have been attached, and the pieces together give a very enthral

feel.

_JANTINE VAN PESKI’S WIRES 10.0 COLLECTION

Jantine van Peski studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute before attending the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, where she graduated in 2011 from a master (MA) degree with ‘WIRES 10.0’ collection. Her work focuses on silhouette and craftsmanship, with great attention to materials and techniques used.

Jantine’s was strongly influenced by the textile sculptures from the 1970’s and specifically the macramé-technique. 

That was the starting point to construct pieces of clothing out of cord and yarn, straight from the body and using only one type of knot.

LINKS À LA MODE: THE IFB WEEKLY ROUNDUP

Cooler Weather Brings Haute Fashion: That’s How The Saying Goes Right?

Edited by: Jessie Thorpe of Denimology

Cooler weather has made it’s way in and it leaves me feeling a definitive need to dress up lavishly. Some girls have been frocked fancifully for the entire month of Dressember. I think it’s important to make the effort to look extra stylish in the Winter months.  I’ve been decorating myself glamorously in festive jewel tones: emerald, crystal, ruby with gold making and appearance every now and again also. My wardrobe has definitely become darker as I use lots of navy and black basics letting my accessories do the talking.
