Biker boy-girls



Thanks to Kingdom of Style, I discovered the studding work of No Discount whose heavy-metalled biker jackets (above) are causing a flurry of excitement in the bloggersphere. While this season may be all about the aviator jacket, SS11 is set to be a season for biker grrrls or, more accurately, biker boy-girls if Burberry Prorsum and Balenciaga are anything to go by. Hopefully, we all have a biker jacket in our possession by now so it’s just a matter of restyling (although I do love the proportions of the Balenciaga one *sigh*)…

Keep on prepping



Some people may be bored of the whole Ivy League/preppie/heritage trend, but not I. So allow me to share the news that Urban Outfitters has collaborated with student outfitters J. Press to produce this lovely array of college-y bits. Sadly, I fear this is only available Stateside, otherwise those perfectly tapered trousers, plaid Harrington and natty blazer would be mine for keeps.



Quote of the day



“It was the most terrifying thing to do fittings with supermodels, because they would come in and look at your Polaroid board, and count how many outfits they had, what order they came out in and who were they next to. They would say things like, ‘She is taller than me and I am not coming out after her,’ ‘How come she has three outfits and I only have two,’ and ‘I want that outfit.’ They’d literally pull the Polaroid off the board and say they want to wear this. There was a reason they were supermodels, though. When they put on an outfit, everyone was floored.”
