Balancer des paillettes partout et faire que ça brille.

Hannah Nagle est encore toute jeune. A tout juste 17 ans, cette photographe de Londres est le genre à être publiée dans Dazed&Confused. Ses superpositions de portraits florales et sa façon de balancer des paillettes sur le visage de sa soeur me donnent envie d’aller lui faire un gros câlin et lui dire que je me réjouis de lire son prénom dans les grandes bibles mondainement mode.

Ensuite je m’empresserai de la remercier d’assouvir mon addiction pour les paillettes, et surtout, de faire oeuvre artistique un jeté de paillettes dans le tronche d’un gosse. Mon frère aurait certainement préféré cela aux coups de griffes en temps de guerre.

QUAND TU IRAS A LONDRES, CHEZ AQUA, UNE ROBE TU ACHETERAS.

FACT 25: QUAND TU IRAS A LONDRES, CHEZ AQUA, UNE ROBE TU ACHETERAS.

J’aurais pu acheter toute la boutique, évidemment, tant les pièces proposées étaient inédites et parfaitement délirantes. Topshop, à côté, a bien mauvaise mine. Les couleurs, du jade au jaune moutarde, blanc cassé au rouge sang, sont à tomber. Quant aux coupes, il faut oser, mais c’est elles qui font l’identité d’AQUA.

J’ai presque envie d’annoncer ma rupture avec ma longue robe bleu, et vous communiquer mon nouveau status relationnel.

Young english women better recognized for their lack of attire than for their fashion sense?

How about some exciting news on up and coming London designers? Why not, as I’ve been a lazy nobody on this blog since posting pictures of myself – as if that could ever interest the likes of readers for over a week- and I’m heading back to London for a few days so… Seems fair enough.

Funny thing is about London, when actually living there is you don’t really get a glimpse of all the buzz that is truly going on in the Capital. The fashion buzz that is. With so many new designers launching their own labels, and emerging talents putting themselves out there, you would expect to be blown away by creativity and avant-gardisme.

But London is maybe too overwhelmingly immense to catch a true sense of fashion delightfulness amongst a crowd of busy people running errands. That said, if you look closely, there’s some pretty amazing looks to be spotted. And even if young english women are generally more recognized for their lack of attire than for their fasion sense London is still nurtchering some of the best up and coming designers out there.

Enough of the rambling, here’s why I am posting…

COOL NEW LONDON DESIGNER Y’ALL.

There’s something about Lucas Nascimento’s collection that really gets me excited. It might be his use of Art Deco references mixed with colour block colours that caught my eye. Or maybe the sculptural feminine silhouettes for which I have taken a liking to. But over all, what I appreciate the most is the mix of eras that he incorporates; whilst using knitwear for all of his creation, Lucas Nascimento adds an old school feeling to his pieces, yet a very futuristic vibe from the cuts and shapes.

And that is exactly the mood I am in right now. I feel very eager as to endulge in a 30′s, 60′s or 70′s style, but still feel the need to wear stupidly bright and shoulder enhanced clothes.

I need to learn how to mix all of this together. Maybe I could give Lucas a call?

Push Things Forward.

Fact 13:

Facebook status: Amanda Buhler is in a relationship

with long blue dress.

No kidding.

I am in love with this long piece of gorgeousness. If it were up to me I’d sleep in it, go to Tesco’s in it, do my laudry in it, even go jogging in it. Funny thing is, I feel utterly over the top in it, which says a lot seeing as I don’t usually care much for that kind of thing. For some odd reason, the slit in the front makes it over the top for me, as in over the top tesco shopping in it kind of thing. So I’m thinking ; mini skirts don’t scare me away, but long-slit-in-the-front dresses do?

The pictures were taken in Regent’s Park, and I ended up going to a roots festival wearing this… Needless to say I was highly over dressed! But instead of feeling super awkward, I felt happy with myself.

I am never satisfied with the way I look, and rarely feel 100% confident, but that day, wearing all this blue prettiness, I felt rather special indeed.

So basically, what I’m trying to say is that, most of us probably often feel that way- even though we definitely shouldn’t (!!)- so I am happy to announce that I have found my 100% confidence friendly dress, and I hope you too have one hanging in your closet! And if you don’t, you are certainly gorgeous enough as it is, but if you feel the need for a little extra help, go ahead and hunt down your new accomplice!

Heterogeneous Albion.

This pretty much sums up London style if you ask me.

Bold to more demure, and wacky to just casual, yet in every way very representative of what good old english style has to offer. Inspirational and different, just like Vice’s editorial.  The shoot features one hundred girls posing for the camera « wearing » their personality, right there, via the choice of their clothing. The whole shoot has a raw feeling to it, somewat of a street style album, but directed in an actual studio.

And I just love the idea!

Check out the description of what each girl is wearing, as well as more pictures on:
