Talented and ingenious a school boy concept that he has turned in to an entrepreneurial phenomenon, literally over night. With apparel ranging from t-shirts in every colour imaginable it's inevitable to have one in every colour

Drake - Show Me A Good Time? 7.10.10



Is it me? or is there no escaping Drake's 'Show me a good time?' Like many i'll admit to being a bit of a Drake groupie 0_* sorry no I mean fan. Taken off the album 'Thank me Later' Show me a good time is already an unreleased hit! HOWEVER... What is with the beat? Who produced that?...Only a musical genius such as Kanye West!! Judging by my sarcasm you can see that i'm not a fan of the beat. Lyrically Drake never fails to amaze me but with a beat that sounds chipmunks dieing 'ah ah ah ah ah ah ah' it's hard to see why Kanye was let loose. But I still like the song so hit the button above and enjoy.

Ride and Shine. 7.10.10

Fur, wool and sheepskin are all must majors :)

Haute coture revisited? 25.03.10



When we think of Haute coture we think of 'high fashion', fashion houses specifically for an individuals body measurements a chic tailor made, hand crusted piece.
Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Dior spring to mind. These labels are still around which for us is a gratifying delight. However most of today's Hatue coutre is created to enhance the prestige of a label and most of it is rarely sold. However on the rise today are more and more high brand labels with strong influences of Hatue coture. Even high street brands such as www.topshop.co.uk have started producing beautiful one off pieces.

Harajuku has been around since 1964. The fashionable trend is a mixture of rebellion, punk and cute fused with an eccentric feel.

The term 'harajuku' has become very popular and as seen the rise of many music artists using the trend harajuku. Gwen Stefani is a prime example her backing dancers were all harajuku.

Hotest artist at the moment in the music and fashion stakes is no undoubtedly Nicki Minaj. Minaj has adopted her own term of Harajuku 'Harajuku Barbie' a remix of Harajuku in it's own rights.

FASHION GURUS' DEATH CATASTROPHE. 23.02.10










With as little as nine days apart of the death of Alexander McQueen's mother, Alexander McQueen himself was found dead on the 11th of February 2010 in his West London home following his conspicuous suicide.

Confirmed by his publicists,"At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family," using Lee, McQueen's real name.

Just five days before his apparent suicide McQueen had tweeted "Been a fucking awful week but my friends have been great but now i have to some how pull myself together and finish with the ..." His profile was removed from the site the day of his death.

Leaving the fashion world in a frenzy, with just days before London Fashion week, and three weeks before he was due to show his latest eponymous collaboration collection for the Gucci group which he was creative director.

McQueen who as born in 1969 took an apprenticeship at Savile Row tailors Anderson and Sheppard and later at Gieves & Hawkes. "Absolutely tragic" were the words used by actress Helena Bonham Carter to describe the loss of Britain's best loved fashion designer.
