Roksanda Ilincic is a CSM graduate, former model, and a well known avant garde London designer. I'm absolutely in love with her ss09 collection - its so dreamy and ethereal and totally reminds me of wedding dresses with her amazing use of tulle! In a complete contrast, her fw09 collection is a lot edgier and 'harder' using animal skins and much more structure. But even then, it still retains a feminine touch and flow. <3

Apparently, her collection was Ms Anna Wintour's favourite of the ss09 london fashion week! now, That, is high praise!

so everybody has been all over this photo shoot ages ago but i'm still in love with it; graffitti leggings, leather leggings, print leggings, zipped leggings; sequins, fingerless gloves, mussed hair, and shoes with looks that could kill. and of course, my fav model sasha. whats not to love?

lets play spot the victoria beckham!

Its not quite what i would expect from a dVb commercial but still, I liked the quirk of it.

"You might think that's really disingenuous of me, but I'm serious", she says. "I'm not here to defend [being a fashion designer], its something I do. I didn't want to do it in the first place, I wanted to read books, but I knew I was good at it. But don't consume crap, make a choice."



A fashion designer who rallies against consumerism and in her latest collection tells people "Don't Buy Clothes". Whose roots are in the then-alternative culture of punk, bondage and sex which started a trend turned mainstream. How often do you come across people who inspire change like that?

Aside, her exhibition "A life in Fashion" is showing in Hong Kong from 1st Dec to 31st January. ZOMG -- definately going.

Lily Allen wearing center dress with bow leads to me discovering cool Brit label, located in the poshest (it is the most expensive property in Monopoly!) Mayfair district, PPQ.

6 things,

1. Blazers with shoulders are starting to seem oddly appealing right now

2. Cardigans as scarfs? Or scarfs that look like cardigans?

3. Easy breezy summer dresses (post shoulder-lipo of course)

4. Watch the video to see the black ruffled onesie in action.

5. Limited collection available at asos.com

6. Why is it that Brit fashion is always the best?
