Ashish Autumn/Winter 2011 - London fashion Week.

Ashish A/W11 is an homage to the archetypical poor little rich girl but one vital difference - she knows her bread's been buttered, but prefers it landed face down.

Taking shabby chic to a whole new level, she perches on its unmade bed in a moth ravaged jumper that's is more holy than the Bible. And, like the peeling stucco of her Dalston digs, her wardrobe purports to better days, albeit that for every frayed edge and missing button, there is a glistening sequin undercoat.

AMINAKA WILMONT AUTUMN/WINTER 2011 - LONDON FASHION WEEK

The digital prints from this collection are inspired by animals hide, skins and furs. The prints are bold and strong and there is a hint in the direction towards more structured blocks of shape and colour. The knitwear, in graduating shades of grey has been cut to flow widely around a silhouette, with arm and leg warmers continuing the raw and unbreakable feel throughout the collection.

'For us this collection has been about showing the british fashion industry who the Aminaka Wilmont woman is. She is determined and confident with her own individuality and uniqueness. This is our 7th season on schedule, we know the direction we are moving in and we want this to come across in the  collection.' explained Maki Aminaka, Creative Director of  Aminaka Wilmont.

My Press Coverage In The Vice Magazine


18th February 2011

I got snapped by VICE Magazine in East London at the re-launch party for DIESEL/ADIDAS. The two famous brands teamed up to produce a limited edition of trainer range which was unveiled that night. The party was really packed and yes too much was going on. Like the hip-pop rapper Nelly said ' it's getting hot in here'. Two words that best describes the night. Cool and Fash!

We were treated to some good sounds by A1 Bassline, TEETH etc.

London Fashion Week -Bora Aksu Autumn/Winter 2011

18th February 2011
Bora Aksu A/W11 was inspired by old poster and book covers of jekyll and Hyde and Sweeny Todd. 
'Dark motives against an air of respectability was very interesting and how to incorporate both those characteristics into one look. It also allowed me to play with shapes and fabrics especially when the tailored pieces' explained Bora Aksu.

Embracing the masculinity of this collection Bora Aksu has introduced more separates than in previous seasons. Short tailored jacket, shirts and trousers are showcased against the staple cocktail dresses that have become a signature of the brand with layered looks to achieve the contrast.

Fabrics are used to bring texture and volume. Leather features more frequently than before from piping to full dresses made from individual panels that are bound with cord. Imaginative use of plastic and leather represent the animalistic core beneath exterior of silks and gentry tweeds.
