Fashspiration of the week // Crystal Renn is a fashion forest fairy; we’re nymphomaniacs.

Start burning the incense and stacking some heavy silver now. Our fave jewellery designer, Pamela Love has made her first fashion film starring Crystal Renn as an over-accessorised woodland nymph. The video, to promote the Love’s SS13 collection, has been created with only the most ethereal references in mind. Renn, in a nude slip and […]

Fashspiration of the week // Corey from Empire Records (*sob* buh-bye, HMV!)

RIP HMV and Blockbuster. The Jesus and Mary Chain T-shirts and Millionaire’s Shortbread ice cream, will never have such a solid foothold on the high street again. Big commercial businesses they may have been, but their collective closure signals the demise of something more. Music and video stores tangibly represent so many beautiful ideals; discovery […]

Fashpiration of the week // Céline Pre-Fall collection 2013: the FASH-BOMB

Beautifully tailored, quietly maximalist and modest to a fault; Phoebe Philo preludes her Autumn Winter 2013 agenda for Céline with what can only be described as a sartorial FASH-BOMB. A new puritan inspired look that’s painfully modern, severe but louche. Really there are NO WORDS (well, I have a few) Amish? Clergical? Straight-edged? The Céline […]

Whatever the haters say about Courtney Love, she can sure shift a few dresses. Her new clothing range of customised vintage pieces, Never the Bride, repackages the shredded glamour of Hole’s sartorial heyday for whole new generation of riot grrrls. Designing aside, Love is a hugely inspirational muse. Last season, Meadham Kirchoff were her biggest fans, […]

Fashspiration of the week // Memoirs of a Geisha: Turning Japanese? We really think so…

Loosely defined as the influence of Japanese art on the West and more specifically in France, where Japanese wood-block prints inspired European impressionist painters (bear with me) Japonisme is a MAJOR reference buzz word for SS13. So what does this mean for us dedicated followers of fashion? It means that if Christopher Kane, Miuccia Prada […]

Fashspiration of the week // Miss Havisham: our favourite miserable, chalky faced style icon

With wedding season in full swing, the best jilted bride ever is to be be exhumed (again) for another bitterness-fuelled pop at everlasting love. That’s right Dickens fans – the new trailer for the latest adaptation of Great Expectations hit the web this week, starring Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham. If you feel like […]
