'Say Lou Lou'

Such a wonderful Swedish Duo.

Their 70s energy/persona/aura is so stunning, fresh and something different in terms of the styling of musicians. It's not naff, its not sooooo 'original' it's unoriginal.

I hope they reach a place where they get lots of recognition and appreciation for their hauntingly pure voices.

Beautiful collaboration with Chet Faker also,  my Australian hero.

Download there EP 'Julian' now.

Unusual tastes

So i've recently developed a strange obsession with mens vintage Collar bars/pins whatever you would prefer to call them.

I really think they are a nice addition to menswear jewellery. Subtle, hidden, simple with a nice little shine. Not outrageous, but more often a forgotten accessory that can really show a lot of class.

It is worn underneath the tie to hold together the collar from either side to keep it together, in turn this lifts the knot of the tie to provide a more aesthetically pleasing arc to the necktie.

LFW AW13 PPQ/STREETSTYLE

So fashion week came about as quick as ever.
Did PPQ by Pandora's side like last season- went swimmingly if i say so. 

Everything went pretty fu*ckin good. The casting done by the amazing Matthew Laskey at Star & co. 
Really happy - the stressful days beforehand are always worth it. 

Anyway hitted up some amazing shows this season too: 

Marques Almeida
Todd Lynn
Issa London
House of Holland
Rihanna for River Island show/party
Kinder Aggugini
Mark Fast
Paul Smith
Fashion East


AW is just going to be filled with SO MUCH COLOUR. 



Happy Bunny - the Dazed Party @ Cafe Royale was pretty cool - really loved the hotel. Brooke Candy performed which was a little overwhelming/hilarious to say the least - she's pretty mental. Then onto The Box for the NY NY afterparty which again was fun.
