I was lucky enough to attend the shows at Red Bull Fashion Factory, of all the graduates only one designer stood out to me, that was Jamie Cockerill, this video shows some of the show. http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Video/Emerging-talent-@-Red-Bull-Fashion-Factory-021242781681803?CategoryName=Dubrovnik&p=1242745950170



Felder Felder took stage in the evening with a celebrity packed front row. Their collection wasn't moving trends forward but more appropriate in the present. Comprising of structured denim and leather with embellished, studded and shredded details. I want all of this collection.

Fashion Fringe Finalist Elliot Atkinson's collection was beautiful with powered pink prints, oversized lambskin pilot coats and sheer black mesh. Can't wait for future pieces. (www.style.com)
Nazanin Yousseff. I love the sheer draping in conrast to the sharp collar and bold shoulders. Graduating from Instituto Maragoni in 2008, it's a year on and we want her back in the spotlight please. (image- wallpaper graduate directory)
Clogs!No longer for the dutch maidens. Be careful you do as Herve Leger (Above) and NOT Chanel (Below).

Chanel had models rolling in hay?!
I can't help but ponder the inspiration for LV's new shoes...

Topshop has already made a fortune of this design. To make it look more expensive than £38 (topshop.com) accessorise with Champers from the bottle, pearls and antique rings galore.

McQueen S/S 10. Exciting, innovative but overall grotesque. Although I do like the shattered crystals, if you feel the need for crystals at least make sure they are jagged and angry. These would look beaut with some flowers in...

Whilst in a gallery in Venice I stumbled over some feathery art...at least they were free range.

Rick Owens chairs.I like.
Alexander Wang S/S10 highlights. Recently I've been far too excited by wedges. These are a polished refined version of Acnes leopard print classics. I like the peep toes (plural) and it's refreshing to have a flat-to-the-floor no platform wedge. I'm already looking like a lobsided heidi longstocking with my plait. Just saving for some wonderful leather shorts...

Get involved- Jimmy Choo are helping raise awareness for a PEP vaccine- within 72 hours of exposure to HIV victims of rape can be saved from contracting it. Unusual collaboration but for an amazing cause. Currently hosting a photography competition which needs to involve shoes and the number 72. Winner wins 7 pairs of shoes and two bags- not to my taste- but the profit on ebay would be sweet. (http://www.jimmychoo72.com/)
Christian Louboutin has come under sabotage via desperate labelwanters painting their soles red. Oh Dear. Yet the brand still maintains it's edge through new projects, currently by working with David Lynch creating a great portfolio of Fetish photography. These pictures have inspired me to wear bold red lips.

I could kid people that I have nice feet with Comme Des Garcons £120 shoes..or get giddy with a marker pen and ruin perfectly nice brogues.


This Acne jacket is on my winter wish list, the perfected parcel brown tone and string waist would make a super present with no need to wrap...
