It’s hobo chic…I think

When Ashish said “I saw a gypsy girl outside the Gare du Nord in her pyjamas and a granny knit… I just thought she looked really cool.” in regards to the inspirations for his latest collection, he wasn’t joking. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. When I see a gypsy girl outside the Gare du Nord [...] posted: March 2nd, 2010 | by: nicole | perma: link | tags: , , | No Comments »

Henry Holland v Homie

When I was a teenager I went through a few fashion phases. The first and finest phase I think was the homie look. I was a wicked homie. I could have probably even got my sisters friends to bash you. However, if got a second chance at being a teen this is what I’d wear…… Henry [...] posted: February 22nd, 2010 | by: nicole | perma: link | tags: , , , | 2 Comments »

Paris couture is ok with me

Couture collections are the good, the bad and the ugly in fashion intensified. When it’s good it’s breath taking, but when it’s bad it’s….well, really bad. What I’ve come to realise over the years is whether you’d actually wear this stuff or not is beside the point, it’s all about creating pieces of art. I [...] posted: January 29th, 2010 | by: nicole | perma: link | tags: , , , , | No Comments »

The dark art of gardening

You might cop a few stares being a green thumb after dark. However, any fashion photography that has been executed in a way that is as good as the concept itself, is a winner in my book. This is a great shoot for Vogue by photographer: Raymond Meier and fashion stylist: Elissa Santisi.

Hermes Winter Campaign

I’ve been showcasing a lot of spring summer 2010 lately, because to be honest I get a little sidetracked by all the new shiny stuff. However, Hermes managed to gain my attention very quickly with this very very sleek winter campaign shot in Scandinavia.

Print clash, S/S 2010

Continuing my favorite picks from spring/ summer 2010 I just couldn’t go any further without mentioning the very fun;  print clash look.  I’d imagine an easy look to master and perhaps the first look I ever put together myself, it’s all a bit of fun. An explosion of colour and print; the brighter and bolder [...] posted: January 3rd, 2010 | by: nicole | perma: link | tags: , , , , , , , | No Comments »
