This is from a feature story I styled for issue 7 of 1883 Magazine with soon-to-be-big actress Alice Englert.  You can see her onscreen in Ginger & Rosa opposite Elle Fanning or in the soon released flick Beautiful Creatures which is sure to be a huge hit.  She was so chill and had an easy going, sweet & sincere vibe about her so it made for a lovely afternoon.  Check our her full interview in 1883's 'Timeless Issue' in stores now.

1883 Editor's Pick

I wanted to share one of my favorite images from issue 6 of 1883 which is my Editor's Pick, shot by the super talented and totally sweet Cecilie Harris.  Orange was my inspiration for my first ever pick as Fashion Editor, and I chose to feature a striped eel skin and wool top from Lanvin for the boys and a very Grandma's curtain print pair of Dolce & Gabbana boots for the ladies, both from FW12. Below are a few other shots of models Sam from Next & Caitlin from Select which didn't make it into the magazine but which I love just as much.



ps. you can buy issue 6 of 1883 Magazine here.

FW12/13 Press Days

Press days have hit London once again - so keep your eyes out for hoards of fashion editors & stylists carrying multiple totes bags filled with all sorts of freebies from the PR agencies around town.  I went with the fashion team from 1883 Magazine and our first stop yesterday was Purple PR's menswear showcase where these two jackets really stood out for me.  


The slim, cloudy blue one on the left from Lanvin is made of a rough, felt-like material worn over a powdered blue shirt.  On the right is a jacket made of real feathers by Roberto Cavali - they also had some feather covered loafers that made my mouth water.   

This very charming clutch from Bulgari features a snake's head clasp and snakeskin inspired bangle to attach to your wrist.  Badass and classy all at the same time - a hard combination to pull off!

It was my first time visiting White Smoke Communications and I was quite pleased with their selection.  One of the stand out accessory designers was MOO Eyewear which transform lovely vintage frames by attaching porcelain detailing.  Truly one of a kind and very striking.  

BLOW PR is always an exciting showroom to behold and are known for representing some very wild and fun designer brands.  The Disney inspired headgear by Little Shilpa on the left, one of their new clients, was total cutesy while the jewel encrusted face jewelry from Lara Jensen on the right (seen on the runway for Inbar Spector's FW12 collection) is drama at it's finest.  

One of my favorite designer finds was a jeweller named Kyle Hopkins, represented by H PR.  He has a lot of rings, necklaces and earrings featuring tiny little people in various settings and clusters that are so whimsical.  His fingerprint, ear and eye imprint designs are wild to look at but possibly a bit creepy to wear.  However his necklaces and rings made out of casts from other rings are completely fun and 'Why didn't I think of that?' smart.  There is a necklace made of dozens of interlocking casts from the Duchess of York's engagement ring and my personal favorite is this knuckle duster set of 4 rings.  Why have one engagement ring when you can have 4?!

Our final stop today was at Modus Publicity where I found a few new shoe crushes.  The mesh shoe on the left with the silver greyhound heels is by David Koma and the Creeper style loafers are from Calvin Klein.  WANT!

korean boys fw12

It's nice to see a few familiar faces at the menswear shows in Milan & Paris this season. NOMA HAN, no stranger to the runway in New York & Paris, walked in both the Lanvin (above) and the Alexis Mabille FW12 shows in Paris while HAN SU KIM was in Italy for the Missoni and Dirk Bikkembergs (one of the famed Antwerp Six) collections.  I modeled with both of the boys when I was living in South Korea so it's nice to see they are doing a good job of breaking into the western fashion scene.
