Even though it’s barely warm enough to leave the house without a good few layers on still I’m already looking at shoes for summer. Sandals to be precise. I wear sneakers, shoes or boots all year round so when the warm weather comes around I love to bust out the sandals, which in London isn’t always for very long so I have to make the most of the little time I have in which sandals are deemed appropriate footwear. Although, most of these are way out of my price range, one can dream!
Taking a breather from blogging about fashion, yesterday I took a visit to the British Museum. I’m slightly obsessed with the Egyptians so the place is a like a gold mine to me. Aside from the Egyptian collections theres also lots of other amazing things. I haven’t been since around this time last year when I visited with Danny so granted bits and pieces had changed. Much to my surprise there is now a clock and watch collection, or maybe it’s always been there? However I only discovered it yesterday and spent god knows how long in there. Aside from the collections the architecture is a sight in itself, the huge glass ceiling and great court are amazing examples of great architecture.

One consistent thing about Lanvin is it hardly ever disappoints. Alber Elbaz creates amazing collections year after year. This season the collection seemed to take on a mixture of looks, mainly embellishment with african and tribal influences but there was not a absence of signature Lanvin draping. The main pieces that stuck out for me though were the amazing coats, wether lined with fur, exaggerated shoulders, or all over fur, the jackets were the main highlight for me, as my friend Becca pointed out, this season there seems to be lots of really amazing jackets, which leads us to think that maybe fall 2010 will be season of the really good jacket.

It’s been a while since I updated with any illustration or work of my own and because there was no Luella this season at London fashion week I thought I’d reminisce a bit. A piece from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. You can view the whole collection here.
Christopher Kane unveiled his new collection for Versus yesterday and once again delivered an amazing collection. Still in keeping with his signature style the collection, mainly made up of dresses was fun with a slight edge. The collection also featured some rather cool T-shirts with original photographs from bruce weber which Kane and Donatella dug out from the archives, and mixed them into the collection too. Although the collection in parts screams Chris Kane all over, there are pieces reminiscent of the Versace house thrown in the mix. With Kanes ideas and Versace’s backing there is no doubt this collection will be a instant hit.
