OK back to the matter at hand: fashion. Oftentimes we don’t need the clothes we buy, but sometimes fashion is a neccesity, like buying shoes. Everyone needs ‘em, especially in London in the dead of winter. The shoe industry however, relies heavily on unethical manufacturing processes so, if you’re going to splash out, you [...]

Rick Owens, a design God, comes from LA and lives in Paris making leather jackets, worked black garments and just general dark and progressive fashion. He’s his own poster child, really:

The good thing is he has teamed up with Eastpak knapsacks to make some incredible collaborative pieces. Thank heaven for the recession and [...]

I think it’s quite cool that people are styling and shooting their own fashion editorials and putting looks together on their own. I have noticed this happening on lots of online clothing sites like Net-A-Porter.com and LaGarconne.com, but it always happens on fashion blogs as well.

Tim Hamilton’s a cool American who has just begun breaking into the successful fashion world. I like how he has a good idea of shapes and he uses mostly primary colors. He seems like one to watch, even though I’d like to see him take his ideas further so he really really stands out from [...]

You know I like me some extreme fashion. Gareth Pugh really delivered in Paris this week. He did something different to what he ususally does, which is very structured beastly clothes. This season, he delivered more floaty and romantic pieces. Well, romantic as an ashy bomb of smoke can be. I died for the headpieces [...]

Richard Nicoll is pretty cool, before, he did this collection which mixed tahiti and grand spanish influences. he basically did the same thing here, with floppy silks. its still beautiful, though. have a look for yourself. olwyn
