Catwalk || Manish Arora SS15

Sometimes I think the backstage images capture the energy of a collection more than the catwalk images. Manish Arora SS15 is a sight for sore eyes

Current Muse || Charlotte Free

I'm currently working on SS16 and it's safe to say the colour pallet is quite girly, amongst the odd hint of jet black. This editorial of Charlotte free for Chanel seems to be dominating my sketchbook pages. 

THE HAIR! enough said.

SS15 || Muuse Lookbook

After the Muuse newsletter dropped into my inbox I was immediately inspired and excited for SS15 colours and prints. Although it's absolutely freezing outside and I wasn't adventurous enough to wear a skirt to London Fashion Week last week (for fear of frost bite), it's still extremely inspiring and motivational to know spring/summer clothes are just around the corner. 

I think introducing these designers as 'upcoming' doesn't quite do their refined design skills credit, but there may be a few names showcased below that you've never come across before. 

Featured in the collective lookbook in collaboration with Muuse is: Louise Korner, Elias Hogberg, Damien Ravn, Huang Ting Yun and Lina Michal.

Joáo Melo Costa

As that time of the year approaches when all fashion loving eyes are on our capital city, I turn my attention to the innovative designers who deserve center stage during London Fashion Week. I've attended the Fashion Scout event at the Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden a few times now and love the eclectic mix of designers they showcase. I'm most looking forwards to seeing what Joáo Melo Costa displays this season because JUST LOOK what he has previously achieved:

SS15

AW14

urghhhhhh so good! I'd wear that very last outfit complete with embellished scarf in a heart beat.
