MEADHAM KIRCHHOFF AW13 FASHION WEEK

I was lucky enough to have a day off when Meadham Kirchhoff showed at London Fashion Week last month. I've been a fan of this English/French design duo since the beginning. Each season the boys fascinate, shock & inspire with their intricate details, unwavering colour palette and contemporary slant on historical costume, tailoring and couture. 

Tucked up in my room in Whitefield; I had the pleasure of watching live-streaming of the show on Stylist. It was dark, mysterious and amazing to say the least...

Set against an industrial concrete backdrop, models paced in beautiful monochrome ensembles, showcasing side swept hair with dashes on red on their lips & nails. 

High shine fabrics and PVC were featured throughout the collection. 

Modern approaches to surface decoration and design were presented in the form of rubber ruffled trousers & reflective metallic leather shoes. 

A haunting bride; embroidered lace veils took a new turn in the show. All white ensembles with nautical stripes evoked 1920's nostalgia. 

Eccentric gold leather sling-backs were reminiscent of 17th Century styles.

Anyone for Tea?

Beautiful Victorian gingham pinnies worked there way into the Meadham Kirchhoff show, complete with ribbon trims and cute matching shirt collars. 

Lace veils in the show gave me chills; I love the exquisite embroidery.

A strong air of nostalgia was intrinsic though the collection. The monochrome combo's were complimented well with bejewelled crowns and high shine leather shoes. 

One of the last few dresses featured on the runway, I love this vintage 1940's inspired maxi. Definitely one of the show-stopping pieces, the lace trim & peter pan collar are lovely details. 

What do you think of the collection?

Watch the show in action, shrouded by Electro beats; if your eyes are fast enough...

...these vintage vixens surely do one hell of a stomp!

As many folk may already know... I work for the beautiful British brand that is
W H I S T L E S. Just thought I'd share with you some images from the new look book for AW/12/13, they are too nice not to be flaunted!

With the end of Spring/Summer commencing just last week, everyone is looking ahead now into Autumn Winter. When it comes to my favourite season I definitely prefer wrapping up warm with lots of layers and watching the leaves all change colour.


It'll soon be here! Autumn is just around the corner...

This season Whistles are showcasing a beautiful capsule collection of winter luxe, expect to see lots of lace, leather, glistening tweeds and brocade fabrics. Subtle prints have an Asian influence that has transcended into sharp cut silk trousers and high fashion separates. 

The collection is very wearable, cohesive and intrinsically highlights several of this season's key trends... 

• Metalwork, 
• English Heritage, 
• Cocoon Coats, 
• Trans-Siberian, 
• Leather and 
• Black. 

Chic silhouettes are cut with high quality printed silks, wool and woven brocade fabrics. The Whistles palette is of marine blue, navy, black, khaki green, soft camels, gold and glistening tones.

Oversized leather jackets and tailored separates are worked in to give an androgynous edge to contemporary feminine shapes.

Nostalgic influences of the 60's, 70's and 80's, can be noted too in this stunning collection.

Stylized silhouettes typically associated with these decades, have been cleverly re-worked by the brand and modernised, to create a special capsule collection that will appeal to every 21st Century woman.

Renowned for its fashion forward approach, this year the British brand has retained its effortlessly chic style producing a collection that cleverly transitions casual jersey to evening cocktail dresses. Classic apparel thats endlessly perfect for our current climate to the cold winter months ahead.

What do you think of the new collection? I've already been eyeing up some lovely pieces for my next installment of AutumnWinter uniform! I think I'm in love with everything! :)
