A weekend of sales

Posted by Rebekah Roy on February 25th, 2007

I don’t really like sales. It’s not because I don’t like a good bargain, I really do. It’s just all the pushing and shoving, the impatience, the anxiety that goes with shopping on a busy day. There is joy but there can also be a sense of desperation just to find the right item. I love shopping: if I’m not on a shoot day I’m probably looking at clothes or reading about clothes or thinking about clothes! Sometimes I wish I thought about other things but it always seems to come back to fashion, women, image and perception.This weekend was the London Fashion Week Sale and Vauxhall Scout also had a designer sale. I generally like to wear clothes by people that I know. Every now and then I might find something in Topshop or Urban outfitters but really it’s either friends or vintage for me. It seems wierd wearing something that I have no personal connection to.

Jens Laugesen
Robert
Cary Williams
Julia Clancey
Aganovich
Mother T fair trade knitwear

Lineups of fashionably dressed happy people. Actually I love it. Knowing that these people bought their ticket and were looking forward to it all week. They might have even planned what they would wear today. Most of the people are in little clusters of friends. It’s good to have friends to shop with – you can get good advice and just bond over a great shopping day. Generally I shop alone unless of course I have a client that I’m taking shopping. I just like knowing that people are planning and enjoying their shopping day.

London Denim Rocks

Posted by Rebekah Roy on February 24th, 2007

How cool to see Simon King’s London Denim T-Shirt for Harrods in an ad in the tube station! I love these T’s – they’re super soft. I have a white one with a heart on the sleeve and it comes with a cute little belt. Who could resist a T shirt with an accessory?!

Rosabella Gregory

This evening I went to see a friend, Rosabella perform at the Museum of Garden History. They have jazz nights on Friday and have a vegetarian dinner – which is great by the way! I used to live on the Moosewood cook books when I lived in Montreal – they’re my favourite recipes.

Soya Beans- not just for eating

Posted by Rebekah Roy on February 21st, 2007

Saw these socks when I was visiting the On|Off exhibition at London Fashion Week. I wanted to buy them but the designer didn’t have any for sale. Anyways they are made from Soya Beans. The multi-purpose soya bean!!! Soya Bean protein is very soft, it can have the luster of silk, the feel of cashmere, and it’s stonger than wool, cotton or silk.

The designer for “Sans” is a very cool girl from New York, and it was their first showing in London. They had some very cool pieces, the socks were just one of their accessories but I’m very partial to a fancy pair of footwear!
