LFW// JEAN-PIERRE BRAGANZA @ THE STUDIO//AND THE PUB

Got the chance to hang with my good friend , the immensely talented JEAN-PIERRE BRAGANZA. First I arrived at his studio in east London, had a quick chat about my new venture CULT DE LAISSEZ FAIRE, which he was all too eager to covet for his own closet. I was flattered to say the least, so expect to see him cruising around London wearing a wool P-Coat and some of our drop crotch track pants in the not too distant future. Then it was off to his local pub, the kind of grotty unrefirsbished pub that are far and few between in London nowadays, called "THE INDO". We chatted about all things pertaining to fashion, from the sourcing of fabrics, the design and production process and ofcourse the retail element. We downed two pints of lager had a good gossip about friends and foes and then yours truly had to run...of to more LFW adventures...

STOLEN BULGARI INNER B...PETERS B-DAY PRESENT

Forgot to mention on my way to the DEPECHE MODE birthday party for good friend PETER GORDENO I realized that I had no present, and full well knowing that he would be recieving valuable guitars, and massive cakes from expensive bakers I had a panic attack about what to get on my meagre means....and then like a burst of lightening I saw the entrance to super expensive jewellers BULGARI was being fixed, a tradesman had painstakingly and methodically took out the inner filling of the "B" in BULGARI in order to repair the metal inlay...thats when DANgerous struck....and pinched the inner "B"...see the before and after.....

MARKUS LUPFUR// INFLATABLES//LFW F/W 2010

These massive inflatable lips by MARKUS LUPFUR at his installation in the PORTICO ROOM @  SOMERSET HOUSE for his fall/winter 2010 collection where about 17 ft. across and ten ft. high....tres impressive, the sequined shirts were really cute too!

PETER PILOTTO F/W 2010// WALKOUT VIDEO

Had to get up early for this show which took place at a super cool location, in SELFRIDGES underground car park, I like some of the cuts/fits/shapes but the colour palette was not for me, I'm not a big fan of anything orange, brown or earth tones...but there were a few key pieces, and my friend STACY-T pointed out that what seemed to be tights were actually very very tall NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD boots...and they were f+ckin awesome!
