WOW. Meadham Kirchhoff Spring Summer 2012
Meadham Kirchhoff SS 2012
What you’re seeing is actually real. I swear. This is the scene from Meadham Kirchhoff’s Spring Summer 2012 show, and to say that it was playfully dramatic in all sense of bright coloured dolly-ness would honestly be a total under statement. This catwalk was one that took fashion shows to the next level.
The runway was adorned with pretty pale and candy coloured…
A TRIBUTE TO : MADAME GRÈS.
Everything starts from a clash. Germaine Emilie Krebs wants to become a sculptor but her parents don’t. It is what inspired her technique and style, and why her dresses seem to be sculpted out of fabric.
In the 30’s, Madame Grès had the unique idea to use a silk jersey fabric to realise her very own pleat. The pleat is made directly on the dressmaker’s form and then sewed (credit donna). It…
Meeting the ‘Attack The Block’ Boys
Attack The Block hit our screens in May 2011. We were taken aback by the alien invasion that threatened our streets of South London, but thanks to Pest, Jerome, Biggz and the rest of the gang we saw that our city was left in safe hands.

From Tangerines to Lemons
Vera Wang SS 2012
So for a head’s up on summer next year; it’s out with the tangerine of 2011 and in with Formica yellow, the canary lemon kind of yellow we all saw on the Queen at this year’s royal wedding. Yes, yellow is big, and has subsequently been seen all over New York Fashion Week’s catwalks.
The lowdown: Vera Wang had entire dresses in fluorescent yellow, the same colour flashing…

The COAT.
As New York Fashion Week is well underway with summer collections gracing the catwalk, I can’t help but think that everyone back in the UK has a very different thing on their mind, that ‘different thing’ specifically being THE COAT.
