J.P Braganza sneek peek, and final LFW musings!

So now that my trips memories are fastly fading into the past, and the falling leaves of Canada's Autumn are clear on the horizon I have posted three final images, one is of AGNES DEAN looking cross eyed at the HENRY HOLLAND SHOW, which is an appropriate response after seeing the show,although this was taken before (see TIM BLANKS REVIEW on STYLE.COM), another of the mirrored mannequin which was at the calibre of store, that would be in the EATONS CENTRE, but alas even crap stores there have sexy budgets for there window display, and finally a sneak peek into the future from JEAN-PIERRE BRAGANZA's next collection....THESE PANTS ARE AMAZING! Stay tuned to updates from the worlds FASHION CAPITAL....PARIS..for just a few days from...MYSTERY T!

UK DANCING SHOES//ULTIMATE ROCK N ROLL JEWELS

These shoes are totally off the f+ckin' hook, they are not for climbing ladders, karate fights or dancing...but rather for standing in the corner of a room looking down on everyone else. The designer of these shoes is creating the shoes for next season for GARETH PUGH & HOUSE OF HOLLAND! My partner ANGRY-T is going to be in PARIS next week for PARIS FASHION WEEK and hopefully you will see those shoes along with numerous PARIS FASHION WEEK updates....stay tuned! On another note, if the shop with the best jewels wins then the award in my opinion must go the THE GREAT FROG! Yeah I know the name is a bit naff, but they have pioneered the SKULL/MOMENTO MORI look for over 5 decades now. Think of any rock n roller from KEITH RICHARDS to BILLY IDOL to NIKKI SIXX to name just a few and they all have bought there adornments from this amazing place. If in LONDON you must check it out...LONG LIVE ROCK!

Back in the T.DOT, a few loose endings from LFW

On my last day i went down to PORTOBELLO MARKET, on fridays it has a great selection of vintage clothing and accessories, as well as some antiques as well. Here are a few shots from the area, one of my favorite places in LONDON is Portobello, and the little S&M cafe is under the motorway there, classic english cafe, yummy yummy. Also included is a shot of GOLDBORNE lane, traditionally the old Portuguese neighbourhood of London, so you expect great coffee & deliscous sweet backed goodies...and the junk market (as photographed). On this street you will also find the most beautiful shop, KOKON TO ZAI, housed in a beautifully tiled old butcher shop. They also own the KOKON TO ZAI shop on GREEK STREET in SOHO,and the KTZ in PARIS, that carrys the full range of the KTZ diffusion line, JEREMY SCOTT and other wilder youthful brands. The one photographed has a more mature selction of lines, including VIVIENNE WESTWOOD. So the posts for this upcoming week will focus on looking back to LFW, and interesting things I found there, as well as a look forward to my partner at CARTE BLANCHE, ANGRY T'S trip to PARIS that commences on OCT. 2-6.

DANtonio super mdoel, B-Store show, KIRK & ELECTRA

So my trip is winding down, the last show that I will attend has been attended. I've said my good bye's to new friends, very cool friends actually. In this post is a photo of KIRK, designer and owner of the B-STORE, B-STORE brand and B magazine and his incredibly cool and gorgeous wife ELECTRA manager & buyer for the this hemisphere & possibly the worlds coolest store THE DOVER STREET MARKET. It was good show, filled with good clothes and a great after party. On the way there DANtonio made an appearance, it was actually a card board cut out that I ripped the head off, strick a psoe and voila....DANtonio was born. Oh yeah, and a really bloated BOY GEORGE was in the front row..good thing or bad thing...I'd say BIG THING!

missing photos from last post

TUESDAY NIGHT BAND PRACTICE PARTY!

Went to the TUESDAY NIGHT BAND PRACTICE party, free beer, rum and tequila, as well as free POPPERS? I didn't try any of the poppers, but dabbled in the others. We took my good friend STACY TROKES new/old 1992 RED MINI COOPER, and got there in seconds flat...there were punk bands playing, that i will post video when I can figure out how, a really hot girl blowing fire balls, a big scary clown and lots of really good looking young british rock and rollers,. Everyone was looking at me like I was a big record executive, which suits me.

JEREMY SCOTT walkout!

I'm trying to get videos on, but........

EMMA, ADAM & DANgerous @ the HORACE studio, KTZ, KTZ, KTZ!

Swung by the HORACE studios and placed next seasons order for TORONTO'S favorite brand...the post apocalyptic HORACE, HORACE, HORACE we all scream HORACE. They let me on a little secret called ESPRIT....nah I canny tell ye anymore! Anyways tehy fookin rock, and so do their designs. After that went down the raod and checked out the KTZ SHOW. Can I jsut say, off the fuckin hook..a little video but the battery died! Going to TUESDAY NIGHT BAND PRACTICE party tonight with two hot babes and meeting JEAN-PIERRE BRAGANZA...could it get any better..ANSWER: YES...IMMORTALITY!

Check out the final walkout for JEREMY SCOTT at LFW, the beautiful bubblegum pink LONGCHAMP bag, and the shoes everyone is losing their collective marbles over by RODARTE!

JEREMY SCOTT,PHTOS, BAGS & VIDEO

Just got back from the first ever JEREMY SCOTT LFW SHOW. Knowing Jeremy, they must have thrown him some free flights, hotels, makeup, boy toys etc to show in LONDON instead of his beloved PARIS. When I saw the invite, cave man-esque carvings on stone walls I had the feeling that it was going to be a FLINTSTONES themed collection....guess who was right!! That Hot Biatch from the MISSHAPES, LEIGH LEZARK was sitting in front of me...SO HOT! And MARK the COBRASNAKE dude was snapping all the right peeps...butcept me! The collection was super wacky as usual, and I will wait to see the jersey pieces and printed t's that always come after the show before making CARTE BLANCHE selection. Oh yeah, the JEREMY SCOTT for LONGCHAMP bag is super cute....and the gift goes to...ANGRY T!

FUTURE CLASSICS viewed with CHINA SUPER BUYER!

Having an extra ticket for a show can turn out pretty good. I had an extra tIcket for EMELIO DE LA MORENA on day one and gave it to the buyer for FEATHERS named Michelle, she was with a fellow named TODD who is at LFW buying for a shop in CHINA that is not open to the public, "MOVIE STARS, SINGERS & CEO's ONLY!" Anyways, after the TODD LYNN show he invited me to a very private and exclusive PRESENTATION for FUTURE CLASSICS. A similar draping theme existed here, but with contrasting prints, strips etc and some bright colors...I loved this model, as you can see almost all of my pics are of her....FUTURE CLASSICS...sigh..one day you will be mine!
