Winter dreaming

Dreaming of summer today..I so wish it was round the corner but there is still a lot to go! I'm dreaming of Festivals, picnics in the park and bathing into the Ocean. I can't wait!

Only a year ago I was there...

See you again in August Santa Monica beach!

Mary Katrantzou

About a year and a half ago, while at Micam, Minna Parikka told me about a new emerging designer called Mary Katrantzou. Minna was going to buy one of Katrantzou's creations in Banner while in Milan (which back then was one of the only few stores in the world selling the label).
Since AW09, the season of the perfume bottle / art-decoish theme, I've been a big fan. She's absolutely one of my favourites. Her prints are always genius!
She did a collaboration with Topshop - which I missed last year as I was away for business.... by the time I got back everything was sold out. Can you give us another chance Mary?


A peek from her SS11..........................if not in Topshop perhaps in the Sale? Mr. B???

Pendleton

Must be for the Opening Ceremony celebration of the 100th anniversary of Pendleton but the High Street has been bombarded by the Native American designs and colours. Shall I wait for the next work trip to the US or shall I just go across the street and grab a topshop version!? Let's add some Minnetonka on the list too...(tip: if you're ever in Vegas there's a bonanza gift shop in Fremont - old Vegas - that sells original ones for only a few dollars!!)
