I really enjoy visiting designers in their studio and chatting about their collections. I’ve been a big fan of Bora Aksu for many years. I went to visit him today to choose a selection of garments that I’m going to use for the Elite Model London fashion show.
I love how Bora uses different textures, fabric weights, knit and embellishment. It always come together so beautifully.
For several seasons Bora has used tights in his show. This autumn we should be able to purchase them as they will be launching a transactional website. They are also introducing a pre-collection for autumn/winter 2012.
I styled this shot a few years ago using one of Bora’s dresses!
If you’re looking for vintage inspired tights check out Beyond Retro. You’ll find tights with bows and piping up the back but also some lovely tights with tiny gold studs dotted about!
I like good collaborations and Giles Deacon and Happy Socks seems like a good mix. The brightly-coloured socks come in a limited edition ‘weeks worth of socks’ box, one for each day of the week, and 25% of the profits are going to the Elton John Aids Foundation.
I love the socks with the eyes!
I like this commercial by La Senza for so many reasons. Firstly it gives everyone a good idea of what each cup size really looks like.It might even help women identify themselves and get the correct size bra! Also it’s quite a novel idea – it’s fun and a bit cheeky. If you go to the site Cup Size Choir you can play all the notes A-B-C-D-E-F-G and even record your own tunes!
I love these studded Alice Palmer tights. One of the many perks of being her stylist is that I’ve been lucky enough to own a pair since she first showed them on the catwalk in February 2010!
…and now they’re available at ASOS! They’re calling them Ninja Studded Tights, which is a pretty cool name for tights (the collection was called the Batman collection by Alice, that’s pretty cool too!).
