That's so New York - Despite the fact that London-based designer and Central Saint Martins graduate Richard Nicoll posts regularly in his very own section of The Vogue Blog, I will admit that his work is still somewhat new to me and as a person, Nicoll is not someone I have delved deeply into when it comes to flicking through magazines, reading collection reviews and even carrying out a little research every now and then.

Hentsch Man / Navy Gingham Sunday Shirt

That's so New YorkDespite the fact that Hentsch Man is a menswear label which I have only recently began paying attention to, after signing up to the label newsletter two weeks or so ago, I can't deny that I have been taken somewhat rapidly by the designs on offer. For those of you who do not know, Hentsch Man is a seemingly classic and elegant menswear label which was founded back in 2008 by childhood friends, Alexia and Max. Alexia is considered to be the design force behind the brand, whil

Designer / Fanny and Jessy

That's so New York - Guess what? London-based design-duo, Fanny and Jessy were kind enough to answer my interview questions; meaning that I now have aspiring designer advice, background information and opinions from the duo in hand. I have to admit, despite the fact that I feel somewhat envious of every female out there and a tinge of hatred towards the label, due to the fact that Fanny and Jessy are a womenswear label and not a menswear label, I feel partially proud to announce that this pair h

Fanny and Jessy / Autumn 2011

That's so New YorkEarlier this week, London-based design duo Fanny and Jessy were kind enough to send across the official images from their Autumn/Winter 2011 look book and although I already had a rough idea of what the collection entailed after noticing a feature on another blog, I was extremely impressed with the sheer quality of the images and the abstract personalities behind the designs. Fanny and Jessy are known for their impeccable taste when it comes to those items which are slightly

Maria Lau / Autumn 2011

That's so New YorkGuess what? London-based jewelry designer, Maria Lau has only gone and sent across a selection of images from her Autumn/Winter 2011 collection; that of which she has titled Two Planets, following on from her Spring/Summer 2011 collection which snatched the same titled, yet a completely different concept. 
I mean, how nice of her was that?

Madame Butterfly: Julien Macdonald LFW

8842971497?profile=originalIt just so happens that I saw Madame Butterfly at the Opera on Saturday night and fell in love with the fragile femininity of the Orient. So it seems oh so appropriate that Julien Macdonald showed a veritable feast from the east for London Fashion Week. Shimmering flying fish, dragon wings and serpents embroiled in delicate embroidery and gilded aspiration.

Elizabeth Lau / Spring/Summer 2012

That's So New York - As Elizabeth Lau begins gearing herself up in preparation for the showing of her Spring/Summer 2012 look book video tomorrow (18/09/2011) in London Fashion Week's very own cinema, it seems she got a little too excited and was kind enough to share a premiere of the video via her Facebook page this morning. I can confidentially say that this is certainly yet another promised success for Elizabeth and might have just ... (CONTINUE READING)

Heidi Mottram: Part Two of Two

8842962276?profile=original

That's So New YorkThe majority of you may recall my post which introduced a handful of my favorite products from London, United Kingdom-based Eel Skin bag designer, Heidi Mottram, titled Heidi Mottram: Part One of Two a week or so ago; yes, you may have guessed that this is the second part of that same post, yet instead I thought that I would venture a little more in depth in regards to Heidi's background, which I have to admit triggered various feelings of surprise after a first read. I mean

Heidi Mottram: Part One of Two

That's So New YorkI'm not usually one for rather basic "I like this bag; that's all" type posts, as I'm sure the majority of you know I can talk for England and frequently tend to ramble on for two or three paragraphs as I introduce a label, the said labels background and go onto introduce an entire collection, followed by six or seven reasonably large images of that particular collection, yet recently I've began admiring the scrapbook-type format which I have seen in use on a handful of addi

'Two Planets' by Maria Lau

That's So New YorkSince my Ax+Apple post around two weeks ago, my admiration for jewelry has heightened; I mean, the search for admirable jewelry designers has even managed to snatch itself a place on my "to do" list. Although I usually tend to hunt for the international among the local, recently I've come across a designer who is both local and international, meaning that the her London location would be considered local (seeming that London central is around forty/fifty minutes from me) yet

How about Red?

That's So New York- Usually it's a little unusual to find a label which fits both the unique/alternative category, as well as the title of a mainstream and established designer, simply because it is not unusual for there to be a rather large amount of domino effect-type happenings when designing, meaning that a designer will create something which is in-fact originally 'unique' yet then other designers will go ahead and either replicate the same style of design, or create a piece similar yet wit
