Elnaz Niknani and Tara Starlet

Two of my beautiful friends, but far more importantly, two fabulous designers to watch. Elnaz Niknani is an upcoming designer luminaire whose staple stud and crystal adorned leggings and jackets have been named as must haves by the likes of Alice Delal and Russian Vogue! While Tara Starlet is the face and brand of vintage inspired label which, designed by mother and daughter duo from their hackney studio, graces the rails of topshop and the bodies of celebs such as Duffy! Both are looking fantastic in this snap photo taken at the Alex Noble show. Tara's outfit is a perfect example of how the maxi pleats trend, combined with this season's 'can't live without' item, the silk blouse, make a perfect daytime combo.  The camel coat adds balance and wearability.
I'm also loving Elnaz's clownesque neckline in juxtaposition with her trademark adorned jacket and leggings. Her leggings collection, full of fabulous studded and sheer affairs is available to purchase at the asos marketplace, though at only 100 pounds a pop, those leggings while fly off the shelves in no time!  Check out http://elnazniknani.com/ and http://www.tarastarlet.com/

Pastel Palette S/S

Just loving the off kilter nudes, and pastels cropping up as stand-a-lone's or complementary partner's to some of S/S's more daring brights and primary's. This painting by a fairly unknown artist; Manasse, who I stumbled upon online, fuses a fabulous assortment of some of my favourite shades. Worn head to toe, or married with an in-your-face red, fuchsia, tangerine or purple, a soft pastel is your best friend this S/S.

Amazing fusion furniture

Just a quick post to shine the spotlight on a must watch interiors trend... fusion furniture.

Where old bureau's and chests of drawers are gutted, and up-cycled to create fantastical storage gems! I can't wait to start my own home made fusion furniture project but in the meantime, feast your eyes on this beauty I saw while reading Harper's Bazaar at the hairdressers!

Alex Noble show LFW off Schedule at St Martins Crypt

LFW 2011: Alex Noble's off schedule show, at St Martins in the Crypt.
Fabulous show, created like an installation inspired from Manhattan's meat packing district, only with an anatomical and ethereal fashion spin. External vertebrae and nude tu tu lemons with subtle ballet like nods in the form of leotardesque bodies adorned with grecian draped detailing were enough to wet the appetite of even a fashion veggie. The dark wood walls in the Crypt, the meat cleaver metal hooks, and the soundtrack of a beating heart only added to the moody atmosphere, orchestrated primarily by models wearing exoskeletal unitards poised gracefully on top of navy blue fuel barrels. Overall, an atmospheric and royal collection with a dark and cheeky edge, definitely one worth watching: Alex Noble.
