The Fantastic 5

I stumbled across these guys when seeing the Teenagers at Reading festival. Quentin (the singer) was wearing this t shirt on stage and all weekend I was trying to work out where it had come from. At first I thought it was a special edition Chanel top but upon getting home and trawling the nets I found nothing. Then by chance I found Dorian from the Teenagers' flickr.

I commened on one of the pictures where you can see it and Quentin nicely told me it was from a company I had never heard of before: 5Preview. Upon checking out their website I found that they had a whole array of brilliant monochrome tops down for beeswax. Then it turns out that my flickr comment is on their blog!

Enough yapping.. some pics to feast your eyes on.


ps im know this is a short post but its getting me in the zen state to actually write some half decent posts. Check back soon xo

The Miss France Award goes to

Corr. Don't you just love France. They have given us baguettes, Sebastien Tellier and The Eiffel Tower. But the latest wonder to come out of the land of the brie is French designer Bérangère Claire.

At only 28 she is part of the new breed of young designers who are setting up an ecletic mix of beauty and class. Yet it's simple. I LOVE it:) It's like Filippa K but more trendy. And less minimalist. Her first line's influences are obvious. Rednecks. The American ones. But as checked shirts, especially of the oxford kind, are very in season it appears that she has made some winning designs. If only the ones I want weren't out of stock.

Despite having a badge that has a huge resemblance with Jägermeister it still looks great. According to their website it is based on 'a hybrid of U.S. college logos and that of the "Croix de Lorraine",' which may be true may be not. It don't mater to me though 'cos she's still making tres beau vêtements. Enough of my yappin', I think it's time to wow y'all with some pictures. I'm sorry for that funny accent. I don't know what came over me.



To finish off it's the best bag I have seen in a while!

HORROR!

Lock up your daughters. The Psychobillies have hit the street. And they are out for blood! Like Jack the Ripper but without the rape it's the new breed of goth.

I love, love, love Ipso Facto. For their style. Yeah it's all about the style.
They have THE hair of gods. The style of gods. And the looks of Aphrodite herself. WHAT A COMBINATION. If only they could multiply. OR clone themselves.


THEN we have the KINGS of goth. They have made having a bowl cut cool and although they may have legs that could be used as toothpics they are still ULTIMATE. in fact i may have to take my jeans in further so that they are that skinny. With names like Spider Webb and Coffin Joe they have given the once night-crawling goths among us a license to bed every young maiden upon the streets.


The dickenzien ladss and laddettes are making a stir, with heavy influences on runway fashion such as Dior and Louis Vuitton (check out their new men's shizzz). I can see this sticking around, if not on the underground scene. And hey if it goes underground then I'm going to go and live on the Victoria Line.
