Alice Palmer AW 12

Last night I had my fingers crossed for Alice Palmer who was nominated for one of Scottish Fashion Awards. Unfortunately she didn't scoop a prize, but in my eyes she's a winner. I love her creations and was excited to have attended her presentation during London Fashion Week. Here's a look at some amazing pieces from the AW 12/13 collection. As great as the photos look, I can tell you than in real life the clothes look even better. Alice hand knits everything and the attention to detail is jaw-dropping.
Shame about the award, but there's always another year. I wish her best of luck in everything and dream of owning one of her pieces.
Have a stylish day.

Rainbow Winters AW 12/13

Ever since I met Amy Winters and she showed me her collection few seasons back, I can't wait to see more. She had me at torch light.. You heard well! The first time she introduced me to her creations, she used torch light to show the effects her clothes do. They change colour under different light, movement.. The effect was jaw-dropping. I did an interview with her and you can read it here where you can also find more about here.
Here are few of my favourite pieces of upcoming AW 12/13 collection. I tried on the necklace and it's top of my wish list and the rest is just as good.
Have a stylish day.

Stylish answers - Liz Black

I loved Liz Black's AW collection so much, that I simply had to bring you some more pictures and of course a short interview with the talented designer. Among other things, we talked about THAT dress worn by Lady Gaga. AW is quite simple and minimalistic, but with interesting detailing and sexy, I love it and want everything! Read the interview below.
Have a stylish day.

1.) First of all tell me about Lady Gaga wearing your dress. Did it put a big spotlight on you and your work or it didn't have any impact at all?
Lady Gaga is a very daring fashion forward girl. It was great to see my dress in someone that appreciates fashion and enjoyed wearing it. It attracted a lot of press attention around the globe, including Vogue.UK, Elle.UK.

2.) What was the inspiration behind that dress/collection?
- Geometric and circular shapes inspired by the Orphist artist Sonia Delaunay.
- Print influenced by the work of abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock
- Masculine influences such as bow ties, lapels and collars sewn

3.) What other celebrity would you like to wear your designs and why?
More than a celebrity I would love to dress up the fashion icon Daphne Guinness.

4.) Did you always want to be a fashion designer? If you weren't a designer what would you be?
Since I was a child I used to design clothes for my dolls and later as a teenager I continued designing for friends and myself. I always knew I would end up designing for an audience. However I studied dentistry back in my country before becoming a fashion designer.

5.) What are your dreams/goals?
Showing on the catwalk at London Fashion Week would ultimately be one of the greatest things for Liz Black and being able to develop our label into an international highly desirable luxury brand, attracting loads of attention and generating significant press and celebrity placements.

Basharatyan V AW 12

The talented girls behind this label is Veronica Basharatyan of Balkarian-Armenian origins, who moved to London to follow her dream. She studied both at Central Saint Martins and London College of Fashion and throughout her studies produced two collections that were shown at various exhibitions in London and Moscow. Her AW collection was shown at Milan Fashion Week and was very well received. I'm not surprised, as I love every piece. See more images on my tumblr.

Hugo Boss AW 12/13

Hugo Boss isn't a label I would normally go for (I love their fragrances though), but I was invited to their AW press day and was curious to see what they've got in store for next autumn. As you can imagine by the amount of pink pieces, I loved what I saw. The accessories, especially handbags are to die for and I want all the coats pictured here. They are timeless, classic pieces worth the investment. I'm lusting the most after the white furry one. The whole collection is very wearable, elegant and sophisticated. Time to start saving up..
Have a stylish day.
