Photos say the sentences I can't today. Needless to say it was a good one...

On a Wednesday of 2011.

It was a good night. Ended up at DSTRKT again after...

Wrapped up for the year Monday so letting loose from now until the 2nd. Here's a glimpse of how I want the next 2 weeks to be like...

Stopped by Blow PR yesterday to have a look at all their designers SS12 collections. I'm a fan more so of the Blow presents designers, real ones to watch. See below Blow mainline brands and designers such as Fam Irvoll and Underground to blow presents designers such as Asger Juel Larsen, T.lipop, Asher Levine, Eleanor Amoroso, favourite Claudia Ligari as well as Sorapol's debut collection.

Exposure is probably the best example of a "one stop shop" for a stylist (fashion and commercial), see below works from the always stimulating Katie Eary to the the new Dr Marten designs, verging into creepers... not sure how I feel about that for history sake but they aren't bad on the eye..

Plenty of goodies from the snow press day. Have a look at ss12 designs by the likes of PPQ, Joanne Hynes, Two weeks, The Rodnick Band and Ayo (Missy) and Erol (Will) taking turns in the Horace jacket...

*TO BE UPDATED*

Saw some great designs over at Clarks, long gone are the days when I ran away from wearing them and the school uniform relation, they have some real trend driven footwear. My favourites being the "moments in music" captured in boots (see Beatles sgt pepper and the The specials influences boots below). I WANT BOTH DESIGNS! Their collaboration with Joy Formidable and Little Dragon says it all, don't write of a classic or think that's all it can be...

Not feeling well but that didn't stop me, I went down to the Ella Dror PR SS12 press day earlier today to have a closer look at some of the the pieces. See below some of my favourite designs by Erevos Aether, Void of Course, Alex Mattsson, Brooke Roberts Craig Lawrence, Una Burke and Piers Atkinson...

So the flixchix put on a lovely evening last night in their new showroom which is a great space! The evening stood out from others, not only because it was in the evening but because most of the designers were actually in attendance so not only could you enjoy the drinks and pieces of cake but you had a chance to grill the designers and almost push over one of their rails in my case, sorry Francesca.

It was a big family affair and got to catch up with everyone. Here is some snaps I took before I had that 5th glass...

Made a quick stop over at one my favourite IPR's press day. Always nice to visit for call ins if only for the industrial lift and the creative block it calls home. Needless to say they look after some amazing talents varying from the young to be more mature make.

Personal favourites are the Silent by Damir Dona boots and collection in general. Love Damir's work. I also really liked the cement grey leather backpack by JAS M.B and the collection of leather bags in general, some deceptive bags appearing as backpacks to be revealed as satchels.

For editorial purposes more so I really like the India influenced footwear of Joanne Stoker, and the return of her signature LED heel. Martyn Bal's and the Super sunglasses also stood out for me. Now, Danielle Scutt goes without saying but I'll say anyway! I loved her show and the blend of femme glamorous shimmer teamed with masculine significant other. See pink hooded coat on mannequin below. Stylist for next season? must make this happen.

Scally connoisseur Christopher Shannon remains on the path for those wanting to mirror the look but not the lifestyle for a healthy penny. Lastly, I am determined to put those Yang Du backpacks (last picture if not standing out enough for you) in an editorial. Scheming to play...

Loved the variety provided at re Adidas press day today from Stella and Yohji to Jeremy. Fashion is interpretation and with the upcoming issue of OL and my never dying love for Adidas I am super amped to shoot this stuff!
