I went down to the south bank yesterday with Burger to take advantage of the warm(ish) weather on one of my first days off in weeks.  The sun was shining and I wanted to break in these vintage octagon frames that Burger found.  I wore them with my new striped sweatpants, a purchase from the KTZ sample sale - only 25 quid - and a Chanel/thexoxokids t-shirt that was screen printed especially for me by a brand called Proudrace from the Philippines.

Burger and I went down to China town yesterday to partake in the Lunar New Years festivities (not sure why they were a week late...) and gorge ourselves in all the delicious street foods.  It was a crisp, winter day so with a bit of layering like this fur 'Invader' hat given to us from Korean brand Human Potential aka HUPOT, it was perfect for a stroll outside.  

I love the shininess and multipurpose zips of Burger's KTZ jacket, with its fun almost polka-dot like printed lining.  He wore it over an oversized jumper that he bought in Seoul with very cool rope detailing surrounding a Versace-esqe circle of Greek patterns in the center.  The layering of the boots, chains, socks, leggings & shorts add a very playfully haphazard feel to his outfit.

I came across the KTZ FW12 lookbook today and loved how out there it was.  Photographed by the talented & recently blue haired ALIS PELLESCHI (definitely worth checking out her very pink portfolio of work HERE) the looks are head to toe screaming in bold prints and strong silhouettes.  Each article of clothing is loud and proud and have so many layers its hard to pinpoint just one piece that you would like to own. 


My personal favorite look and the one that I would absolutely WANT to rock is the above left photo - it's a head turning look like the rest but is quiet enough to let you appreciate the details without overwhelming the eyes.  I'm super fond of the accessories in the lookbook including the quirky berets, the subtle leather clutch, the patterned gloves, the massive gold necklaces and especially the black platform shoes with gold detailing.  The skirts in the collection are a mix of drag and Scottish kilt and I think are most successful when worn over a matching plaid pair of trousers (or are those just long socks??) like the white & red looks below. Overall it's a very fashion forward and very Kokon to Zai collection.
