REAL TALK

This is FIRE! I absolutely love this music video. I wonder who choreographed it, someone did a great job combining Harlem-esque vogueing and club banger moves. Dawn slayed it. As the girls say, “I live!”

GON’ HEAD

I haven’t been totally truthful – I actually have been to London Fashion Week this season. I was invited to EcoLuxe by the lovely designer Ilya Fisher, who makes beautiful handmade silk shibori skirts (more on her later methinks). 


I was really curious to go because EcoLuxe is full of designers who have committed to making sustainable clothing – a good cause. Also, lots of them are quite interesting; my favourites by far were the co-founders of Etrala, Emilio Portes Cruz and Maria Rodrigues Liñan. The clothes they make remind me a little of Monki – very playful, with bright whimsical details – like bright lining in the coats, pockets and hoods, as well as contrasting trim on collars. First pics below (all from their fb):
