Nike Blazer Low Premium x Black Comme des Garcons.

Trainers are everywhere, normal people are wearing trainers more than athletes are wearing them, it's actually a delight to see people incorporating trainers into their outfits, from Nike Roshe Runs to New Balance, I mean it's not something I'd wear but I can certainly admire. A new pair of kicks to add to your collection is the Black COMME des GARCONS x Nike Blazer Low Premiums, the two companies have joined forces to make this slick suede trainers. 

The special edition of Nike's Blazer Low, they look extra slick with their all blacked-out color palette, suede panels with leather accenting, the laces are waxed cotton which add a soft touch to the shoe. COMME des GARCONS is only apparent on the heel and insole of the trainer, the branding is in white print in the initials of CDG. I like them, a lot of people I know are dissing them and the on the other account the other people I know love em', some people say that it's expensive just because it's got a logo on the back...but other people say Nike has reached another level of sleek...

FASHION EVENT.

GS SHOP CATWALK. 

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the GS Shop Catwalk, at the Korean Culture Centre, in London the show exhibited clothing collections from designers at Central St Martins, the designers were as follow Lee Seung Hee, Xess Homme, Kim Jae Hwan and Han Sang Hyuk. I think Korea is certainly a big team player when it comes to global fashion and this show has proved that to me.

The first designer to have their designs waltz down the catwalk was the Alette collection by Lee Seung Hee. Seung Hee's collection was specially targeted for women who wanted garments with a sense of modernity and mystic values but obviously wearable, the colors were understated with cobalt blues, ivories and burgundies. As you can see the female sensuality is very much elongated with the use of ankle enforcement and clever layering.

The second designer was Xess Homme, the brand was launched back in 1998, this brand is inspired by slim-fit and MODS and have been very active in the expression of creative men's fashion. I adore menswear so I saw the immediate beauty in this collection, I've always admired Asian menswear and to see it raw and clean cut, presented like this was great. I also loved the details of the clothes and tortoise shell glasses. I loved the colors of this collection like the beige and the olive green, great collection.

The third designer to go down the catwalk was Kim Jae Hwan with his collection A by Jae, the concept behind this collection is to enhance the silhouette of a woman's body in harmony with both the color and material. This collection provided perfect tailoring and premium material, a delightful girlish charm and a selection vivid color.I have to applaud the female suit, absolutely dazzling, the layering of the red cardigan and the ankle cut trousers, certainly redefining womenswear.

The fourth designer to exhibit down the catwalk was Han Sang Hyuk with his collection Cadet_H.
"Rather than making clothes, it is more worthwhile to change the attitudes of the people who wear them to designer's taste in clothes" Han San Hyuk. The concept of this show and the ideology behind is very interesting, youth, sentimentality, function and honor where among the concepts behind this brand laced with color and materials of wool, cotton, navy grey and khaki. A stunning detail was a black suit that had a zipper down the back, I never seen this before, these kind of details are what make Korean fashion so innovative.

Zara has maintained their traits of being classy, avant-garde and on point with their trends, in which all have been displayed in their new fall campaign '13. The brilliant campaign was shot by Patrick Demarchelier, styled by Marie-Amelie with a cast of rising models, Mijo Mihaljcic, Julia Nobis, Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Ashleigh Good and Juliane Gruner. There is also a video of the wonderful magic Zara has cooked up, Zara has headed to the streets.

The girls are dressed head to toe in bohemian and youthful styles of dark florals, bold prints and clean cut angles, the girls pose on the streets of London, looking caught up in city life. I love this campaign and I can't wait to get my  hands on some of the stunning pieces, Zara is going to make me look amazing this fall, the color palette's are just sensational and so make me wish I we were already in Winter. Womenswear is back on top form and is looking sharp with the help of Zara's fall collection..

ASOS : ABSOLUTE CHELSEA BOOTS.

I got a pair of boots, velvet boots from asos...erm I don't wear heels its not really my preference usually but I don't mind trying new things. These are my first pair of heels, ever I feel weird, I guess I'm saying hello to my womanhood (dry laugh). I love the colour of the velvet, it's a bit bright but I can live with it, the heel is a bit high it took me a while to actually try and walk in them but I'm pretty swell now I can walk like a supermodel in them (hahaha). They were on sale coming to a tidy price of £31 which is a good price for boots of this material and type, Chelsea boots are big trend, and boots with chunky heels are a top-notch trend for Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

Okay, pros and cons, they shoes are lovely, the colour the material, they are well made and they are comfortable, I wore them for 9hrs (on a shoot) and my feet did not have a single blister (miracle) I know. Cons of the shoes, I'm a size 8 the asos size came up a little bit small but after one wear they stretched out and fit me perfectly now, they have them in patent black, I personally think they are nasty but if that is the way your boat floats then get a pair! That is me in the above photograph, I styled it with black ankle cropped jeans and an blue stripy "boyfriend" sized shirt, it belongs to my Dad, thanks Daddy.

STWO - Beyond EP.

I am totally into electronic music, it has a notable selection of vibes especially for summer, someone that has been mastering my playlist lately is 20 yr-old Parisian DJ/Producer Stwo. His EP Beyond is effortlessly perfect, the sound is so refined and sensual that I just get lost in the tracks my favorite is Lovin' U, the daydreamy EP is exactly what us Brits need to guide us through the sweaty sleepless nights. I know there are tons of electronic tracks dominating the radio and internet airways but Stwo is certainly someone you and your eardrums need to familiarize yourself with.
