>> I'm not sure whether to be really happy or angry with COS for putting pre-meditated thumb holes into this cashmere top that I picked up as err... an overindulgent pyjama top.  I've recounted many times on the blog the inaugural act of getting a new school jumper and then proceeding to gradually wreck it through the terms as I push my thumbs through to make some lovely shredded holes.  Was it purely a means of keeping my fingers busy?   Was it an act born out of pent up teenage frustration and all that jazz?  Was I just into scraggy holes in jumpers?  This surely needs to be psych-analysed at one point.

So am I REALLY mad at COS for taking out the gradual process of the hole-making and neatening them up into perfectly formed thumb-vestibules?  Or like the old fogey that I've become,coach handbags sale, perhaps I'm SUPER happy that the holes have been yuppified and are there,coach handbags sale, ripe for the taking.  I slip this piece of cashmere on and thumbs slot right in with an ease that is supposedly befitting for someone who can swan into COS and pick up a cashmere pyjama top (though I really thought it was just a plain cotton tee...)...  

You know fashion week has got too heady when I'm analysing an afterthought of a design detail...  

Last of the Floral Note

,cheap beats by dre headphones

>> I do promise my self-imposed vegging out time in my hotel room in New York is ending soon (Anthony Bourdain's 100th No Reservations episode is telling me it's time to stop...) but for now, it's another quickie post that was actually supposed to be a continuation from my MiH x Liberty jeans post because along with those outfits, this features a bit of autumnal floral action, once again courtesy of Christopher Kane.  I know I'm meant to be seeing parrots merging into floral bouquets but for some reason, all I seem to see is THAT Waltz of the Flowers scene in the Nutcracker suite portion of Fantasia... petals wilting, turning slightly more 'crispy' and golden in tones than blooms in the height of summer...

When I break my own voluntary prison cell, I'll be out foraging for more autumnal florals where the flowers are not looking so fresh and the colours are deeper and look like they might get chummy with 100 denier tights...

P.S. I promise I will have something more significant to say when I also venture out to start pre-fashion week hunting,cheap coach bags!

The First Markings

I seem to love using Machine-A in Berwick Street, as my go to shop recommendation for photoshoots where supposedly, I play the role as 'knowledgeable' Londoner, doing a 'good' job of showing and telling people where to shop.  So for a Japanese magazine a few weeks ago, I once again, turned to Machine-A for a good ransacking and once again, found ANOTHER label that I hadn't heard of.  I would say I'm fairly up to speed with graduates but somehow Machine-A gets the ones that slip through my radar and fortunately make them available to the public at large.  For the aforementioned photoshop, I tried on a beautiful hand dyed lambskin leather jacket that had been embellished with glass beads and draped with a panel of pleated grey chiffon to offset the leather.  Lusssssshhhh..... sadly in the heated bother of the photoshop, I failed to take down the name.

Fortunately, the designer Manuela Duck Dack (yes, you'd think I would have remembered a name like that...) emailed me to ask me to take a gander at her website.  A graduate of Middlesex uni, Manuela took a year out in her course to go to New York and work at Alexander Wang where she got stuck into the various projects.  After that she came back to complete her graduate collection from which the jacket is from.  Based on ritual tribal scarring and marking of the skin, her fascination with different cultures' ideals of beauty was the initial inspiration.  This then translated into a contrast of 'masculine' or 'hard' materials like leather and metallic elements with more feminine fabrics.  In addition, Manuela builds a collection from an initial layer of lingerie and uses that as her foundation.  It of course pleases me that she'll be doing more lingerie/swimwear-inspired pieces of work in her next collection.  She'll be getting more pieces into Machine-A, variations of pieces from her graduate collection so there'll be black suede and leather versions of that beautiful jacket I tried on as well as long-line silk bras in nude, grey, black leather and suede.  Another visit to the Machine of Amazing designers is required of course to feel this all up but it's all sounding good in my palette books and if the leather jackets are as well-finished as the one I tried on (2nd pic down on the left if you need a piccy reference...) then I'm sure there'll be other people in the store feeling it up too...

The graduate collection...

The pre-collection... yes, even graduates do them now...

Manuela will also be working on a series of body jewellery,Monster Beats Studio Kobe Bryant, designed to be worn 'under' sheer pieces (not over as I'd imagine...) as well as being layered and worked into layers of chiffon, a theme she will continue for her next collection.  Her blog is probably the best place to go for collection updates given that she's always got a cacophony of imagery and photoshoots with her prolific amount of work (she has a pre-collection and a menswear collection that's going into Machine-A too!) going up there... 

**EDIT** Ok, so my eyesight is severely poor.... I misread Dack to be Duck - and I have no idea why.  Oh right, i know why - it's because I'm straining my eyes to see what is on the screen because my contact lenses are the wrong prescription.  Write this blogger off and condemn her to the blind house.  It's a good thing I can touch type... amended and corrected...

Yo, Sydney, What Up

>> The tourist in me made me do this.  As well as squeal as we pulled up to the Overseas Passenger Terminal where the RAFW venue is based, and seeing the Sydney Opera House for the first time.  Alright, I'm here to work but I'm allowed a squeal or two... as wel as these "Yo, tourist here!" shots faciliated by Phil Oh of Street Peeper who caught me and all of my floaty grey along with a menacing rain cloud.  The second photo surely is the money shot.  I'm being blown away by the gusts of collective perfume fumes from all the fashionable people here.  Anyway, I'll just say it now - I'll only do the tourist shot once, PROMISE!
