Helmut Lang Pre-Fall 2014


Nicole and Michael Colovos have created a collection that is layer on layer Helmut Lang. Signature pieces with a new element of destruction all layered in an asymmetric fashion to create yet another great collection. 




Despite it being frightfully cold in New York at the collection's preview, it is rather clear that this collection was not created in the harsh temperatures of winter but amidst a New York heat wave seeing daisy dukes, teenie bra tops and knitted tanks scattered throughout.






Layering is the key element to the story with light, soft luxe fabrics used to create multiple hems all cut at different angles exposing the unique architectural monochrome print which is used throughout to complement the black, white and navy collection.





Crisp which crepes, cut on the bias model-jerseys and super soft leathers. 








Say hello to my absolute favourite piece, the leather bomber. 




Gosh just look that that beauty. 


The signature Helmut Lang tote in complementary printed leathers now available in a new medium size. 


Although a very Helmut Lang collection, sticking to their signature oversized tailored silhouette, the layering aspect of the collection certainly brings in something new and will undoubtedly make this pre-fall 2014 just as covetable as ever.

Leather



What I'm Wearing: SUPERCALAFASHIONISTIC Beanie (coming soon), Miss Guided Jacket & Leather Sleeved Tee, Topshop Leather Trousers & Isabel Marant Wedges.





Being back in London has its many perks, the full to the brim fridge, Bikram yoga studio round the corner and of course all my lovely friends, however, it also means that I've finally got a chance to work on my online store. I've been working on a little range for a while, with slogan tees, sweatshirts, beanies and snapbacks and I can't wait to get my samples back soon so I can show all of you. International shipping and chic basics to slot perfectly into every sartorialist's closet, could you ask for more? 




Here's a sneak peak of one of the tees, what do you think?



And as I've previously mentioned, with GFC heading for a black hole come July 1st click here to follow me on bloglovin to stay updated, however, if you don't have a bloglovin account, follow me on Facebook (click here) & Twitter (click here).


Before I forget pretty please will you nominate me for the 'Best Personal Style Newcomer Blog' for the Company Style Blogger Awards 2013 (click here or on the photo). 



Tell Me About It, Stud





What I'm Wearing: Versace for H&M Leather Jacket, Karl Berdine Shirt, French Connection Moire Trousers, Furla Candy Bag & Isabel Marant Sneakers.







It is a very rare occasion to see these steps not covered in people. Much like the steps of the Met in New York, people flock to fill every square inch at lunch time sipping on coffee, biting into sandwiches and perhaps even delving into the rare yogurt cup too (sorry about the Gossip Girl reference, I had a bit of a marathon yesterday and still rather obsessed). Black and white is such a great look and works no matter what pieces you combine. Ever since I got this jacket last year it has literally not left my side, and I love to watch peoples reactions when they see it. The subtle nods of people showing their appreciation, to the downright stares from those who think I look slightly like a disco ball, either way it is my go-to jacket to wear, whenever and wherever I feel. 

Touch of Leather










Boy oh boy it has been a long day today. 8 hours in the studio, cutting, sketching, slashing, sewing - I think the dot and cross paper has made me go a little mad. This leather sleeved tee is one of my Autumn wardrobe must haves. So easy to throw on over anything for a perfect on trend effortless look. I've teamed it with my favourite studded collar and faux leather Zara trousers to accentuate my absolute undying love for this wonderful fabric. A wardrobe without leather is seriously missing out. How do you guys style leather into your winter wardrobe?
