a step off the runway



















I have always been a big advocator of what goes on behind the scenes, on the streets, and off the runway. It's not that I don't appreciate the goings on, on the catwalk, because I do, I really do. But there is just some magic about the street side aspects of fashion week, isn't that where it all really comes to life? London has not failed to disappoint so far and so I sit and observe in awe, the floods of images that flash up on my screen daily.


We have our street chic Alexa Chung in what looks to be a Burberry trench and LBD, we have the ubiquitous Agnes Deyne in a monochrome vest dress, we have platforms a plenty (mostly of the Acne kind), we have the Model, street side with a menthol in one hand and a lookbook in the other, we have the fashionistas with no name clutching the one designer piece they own and are hoping will be their ticket into the after parties, we have the pretentious posers who we outwardly hate but secretly love and lastly we have ourselves a little Peaches Geldoff because what would be London Fashion Week if she or her lesser known sibling, weren't at the forefront of our minds?

if i were but a mere male













If I were but a mere male I would want to wear Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2010...and a bit of Burberrry too.
I would want that Acne plaid shirt. I would want hair like that and friends like those. I would wear my vintage Nikes, my brogues and my hiking boots with pride.
And I would think Macauly Culkin to be a pretty cool dude, but Bob Dylan even cooler.

walk all over me




































Despite the stifling heat that finds me sprawled on the balcony accesorised only by a hand held fan to appease my discomfort, I was reminded today that a European winter is apparantley fast approaching. Barely a rack could be unearthed at Zara today that wasn't adorned in faux fur vests, black jodphurs or tweed blazers. Admittedly each item was as equally gorgeous as the other but in this heat nothing could have tempted me to try them on. That was until I layed my eyes on all the pretty boots on display. Yes boots can be pretty. Look no further than above to see what Marc, Missoni, McQueen and co have on offer this season.
