Peter the Great

Oh Peter Jensen, I just love your cotton candy colours!

RIP Luella

I still can’t believe the news that Luella will stop trading because one of its backers has dropped out. And so goes one of my favourite fashion labels, dearly loved for its quirky, kooky style, geek chic and tongue-in-cheek femininity. I can think of dozens of labels I’d rather see go down instead. Sigh.

 

 

In the swing of things

Austrian designer Lena Hoschek has just been pointed out to me. I really like her 50s-inspired full circle skirts and wiggle dresses.

NYC takes a trip back to the 60s

To my utter delight the runways at New York Fashion week have been full of 60s-inspired outfits. I shall dust off the Courreges for spring/summer10 then!

Silky dreams

I am in love with the bespoke printed silk scarves by Silken Favours. To get your own scarf made, you need to email them your chosen size and shape and some info about yourself.

80 is the new 50

I am utterly determined to never dress my age, not that I am planning to wear mini skirts and bare legs when I’m 70, but no one will force me into the crap your average department store sells for over 60 year-olds.

So hurray for the Old Ladies Rebellion, a label designing for older women set up by French designer Fanny Karst, 24. I wonder if she’d sell me her black and white glove dress, even though I don’t quite make her target age group…

Oh Giles

I am in love with Giles’ 2009 pre-collection.

Sequins (again)

I’m in love with this Art Deco inspired top by Holly Fulton.

Oh Galliano

I’m in love with Dior’s fall couture collection. It’s all about the 50s look: tailored waists, skirt suits and suspender belts. What a great take on the New Look!

Herchcovitch does 20s

I wish I’d found more pictures of his entire AW09 collection from Sao Paulo fashion week.
