Happy Lou Year

Hey everybody, I wish you all a great and succesful 2011!
Lets start the new year with a feature I styled for Ozon Magazine on amazing and talentend menswear designer Lou Dalton.
Check it out here or just enjoy the pictures:

Christmas Break

The last few weeks have been extremly stressfull for me and hence I haven't been blogging really for quite a while. Sorry to everyone who is excitedly waiting for anything new from me. Guess you have to wait until the new year starts but oh boy that's gonna be exciting for all you readers and for me. Until then: enjoy some nice images by Hedi Slimane and merry Christmas 2010!!!! x

BoomBox

Wow, I found this while I was clearing out my wardrobe. A leftover from BoomBox times. A long, long time ago...

A Fashionable Pub Quiz

@Shoreditch House. As always so much fun. Didnt win this time though.

Lanvin for H&M

Yesterday was the day: finally Albert Elbaz's Lanvin for H&M collection launched in the UK. I saw lots of images of obsessed fashion people sleeping in front of the H&M flagship store on Regent Street and I have to say that is just crazy as it is fucking cold at the moment. But hey, their choice. I really like the womenswear range and fully understand why many girls wanna get their hands on some of the pieces as 'real' Lanvin dresses start from like £2000 to... erm...I dont think there is a limit. But now you can have a Lanvin dress for just £99. Cant complain bout that. I wasnt equally impressed with the menswear pieces which is quite sad as I am a big Lanvin fan and love what Lanvin menswear designer Lucas Ossendrjiver usually does. That being said there were some nice items of course, the fitted suit jackets and the trousers. I only was interested in a pair of blue draw-string trousers and I was lucky enough to still get them when I got to the H&M store yesterday afternoon. So yer that's it.

Flu Times

Sorry I didnt update my blog for a long time now. It was only a matter of time until I finally got down with a stupid boring cold. Hence I was in bed trying to get better (which I am now) and I focused on watching shitty sitcom shows and some really good movies.
Anyway, here is a preview of an editorial which will be out soon in What Else Magazine.

Christopher Shannon Shoot

Hero Magazine Issue 4 Launch Party

And another magazine party, this time for Hero who are showing 'the faces of tomorrow's fashion'. Concentrating solely on boys' faces though. This time I didnt have to go all the way to West London, just down the road as the party was in Shoreditch. Again nice people and lots of booze. Really like the magazine as well.

Ten Magazine Party

It doesn't happen very often that I go all the way to West London, leaving Hackney behind, not because I don't like it there, just because I am very lazy and usually skint and don't wanna spend money or time in the underground but when Ten Magazine invites to celebrate in fancy Belgravia that they're being a decade around , I sure have to check it out. Celebrating ten years of their publication the magazine chose Il Bottaccio as the venue. And what a gorgeous place that is, quite impressive. These parties are also always a good way to catch up with lovely people you haven't seen for a while. So yer good turnout!
