FUTURE FASHION

3D technology has quickly moved beyond the darkness of the cinema screens, (despite still seeming like a novelty to me!) and has acquired the backing of fashion giant, Burberry. Formidably bolstered by flourishing sales, the British fashion house has taken the groundbreaking initiative to stream its AutumnWinter10 collection, showing shortly at London Fashion Week, live at selected events in New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and Los Angeles. This incredible news seems advanced to a tech-novice such as myself, but unquestionably incites absolute excitement about the potential of fashion's future. I came across this editorial, which would have blown me away simply for the phenomenal styling and electric hues without the incredible 3D angle. If this is the way magazines are headed, let's hope Burberry reproduce 3D glasses laced with their supreme style.

LAYERS

FASHION OVER PASSION?

Living in London I spend at least 9 months out of the year yearning for sun. (The fact I brought sandals a couple of weeks ago is ridiculously premature, especially as I never leave home without at least one pair of tights on... but they are so lush!) My defense against the chill (without resorting to chunky knit jumpers that quite frankly leave me looking like The Bulk) is to layer up as many vests, long sleeves, t-shirts and fine knit cardies as I reasonably can, not to forget the tights/leggings/socks/leg warmers/boots combo- trying to keep warm and semi-stylish is enough of a challenge without attempting 'sexy' too! In "pash moments" it almosts becomes comical when layer upon layer is strewn off still without success of discovering a flash of bra. However! In the coming months there will be no problem discovering the fanciful item- in fact you won't be able to miss it, and that is so the point. I am willing for the weather change so I can wear a girly bra top with a boyfriend blazer, alla Berardi, to achieve the fashion irony that tickles me so.

INTIMATE LOVE

NEW PURCHASE

SHAGGY CARDIGAN / JACKET... IT MAKES ME THINK 'THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD GET IF YOU MIXED A CHANEL JACKET WITH HOBO MESSINESS! I ADORE THE COLOUR MESH.

Love Bird

I haven't posted for quite a while, but aim to get back into the mix of it! I have said previously that I have struggled with a direction for the blog, but it is called 'Know Magazine', and so I will post what inspires me and would I would have put in the elusive Issue 2. Loosely based around a theme each month, I will go with the obvious to begin the launch with LOVE:February.

Work Stuff

weekend over

in chains

I was just reading this post about designer Fannie Schiavoni. I absolutely love the chain shoulder design! It made me think of the chainmail top I hired from Fannie & the Cave at a super reasonable price! Highly recommend you check it out... Photography by Jonathan Griggs.

LFW SS10

I got the opportunity to go to the SS10 london fashion week, what feels like forever ago! And caught the Vivienne Westwood show, and the Issa show. As I have mentioned, I have no camera- but here are a few of the shots a girlfriend caught on the day.

Chanel Iman and Coco Rocha on the catwalk would have been enough to get me over-excited at the Issa show, but to have the chance to see Ms Naomi Campbell take to the runway was a true Fashion Moment. So that is why she's labelled SUPERMODEL!

and a few familiar faces in the crowd... Jourdan Dunn sweetly seemed to gush in awe as much as I did when Naomi walked the catwalk!

Missing Summer

My fave summer outfit

I barely feel like I've had a summer and I'm buying winter coats and cardigans! How did that happen? Depressing... I finished uni and went straight into full time work, methinks I'm going to regret this decision for a while yet. The coat and cardie I got are pretty spesh though- the only thing I do enjoy more in the cold seasons is the fashion... oh yeah!
