Hawaiian Two Piece
Best charity shop find ever! Don't think i'll be leaving the house in it for fear of being stoned by any tasteful person in sight, but it might make a nice bag.

Hairy Shoes and Drag Queens
I've just completed 4 weeks of internship with Stefan Orschel-Read, a couture menswear designer, who is not only incredibly talented but a pleasure to work with.
In complete contrast to the stereotypical fashion designer diva who would bark commands at you, Stefan takes the time to help you understand the complex tailoring techniques he uses in his designs.
I was helping to make the garments in the collection and it was astonishing to see the transformation of these highly detailed yet obscure pattern pieces from flat fabric shapes into Harrington jackets, Budapest Trousers, Fake Hair Shoes and my favourite piece in the collection which is a beautiful coat made of long black hair extensions sewn in row covering the entire garment.
It all came to a climax yesterday (Sunday 20th of September) during London Fashion Week where I was backstage dressing, flapping and generally feeling the tension gradually rise as it got closer to the moment when the first model stepped onto the catwalk. It was all over within 10 minutes without a hitch and to the relief of everyone involved. A period of time that was over so fast after many months of preparation, yet felt like an hour. After that it was time to celebrate and let our hair down in nearby Soho, where we shook it like a polaroid picture.
Keep and eye and an ear out for Orschel-Read, its going to blow the wool socks off of traditional menswear.

Sixpack Menswear
Found this french t-shirt label that describes itself as an avant-garde brotherhood of designers, illustrators, musicians and dj's. They work closely with the record label Institubes and what caught my eye was their work with Akroe, heres some of his designs:
