‘I told her I love the view from up here The warm sun and wind in my hair We’ll watch the world from above As it turns to the rhythm of love’ We were in such a heady daze, falling madly in love. If you asked me now what was I thinking, I’d have to answer that I probably wasn’t; all I knew at the time was a sure certainty that he was the boy I wanted to, and was going to marry. ...

'Between Sense and Sanity' at Slovenian fashion...
“Browns,” says a prim businesswoman to Slovenian fashion designer Petja Zorec at the opening night of Between Sense and Sanity, a showcase of up-and-coming Slovenian design to Londoners at Europe House, around the corner from Westminster. Zorec, a bright young woman dressed stylishly yet unpretentiously in a fitted bandage bodice of her own creation, looks confused. The businesswoman...

Today I sat on a balcony under the sun and cried. I cried because I miss the sun - the gentle heat, the warmth, the glow you get on your face when the sun shines on you. I cried because I didn’t want to go to back to England, where there is no sun. And I cried because I don’t know when I’ll be able to live in a country with the sun again. I cried because the future is so uncertain, and because...

Boulder shoulders at Proenza Schouler...
Loving the boulder shoulders, cocoon shapes and gentle twists and draping at Proenza Schouler. Touch-me-now textures, sculptural silhouettes that would really not look out of place in an art gallery, and is that ombred leather?!? If only we could get Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez to change their last names to McCain so we could tell them they’ve done it again (because rhymes...

Sunshine, sewing and a son: designer Jesse Kam...
If life is all about trying to find a balance, Jesse Kamm might just possibly have the perfect life. She’s based in L.A, but spends a good part of the year in Panama (where she has an eco-friendly place in the postcard-perfect Bocas del Toro). Her place is in a part of the city that’s actually quiet and peaceful - rural, even - and yet only 10 minutes from downtown. In fact, her studio is part of...

The nuances of menswear and music with menswear...
Fashion is best, it seems, served with a side of music - or so goes the philosophy behind fresh menswear label Smith-Wykes. The brainchild of Michaell Smith and former Lacoste and Carven designer Rory Wykes, the label focuses on understated casual menswear while promoting music videos of up-and-coming bands, encouraging a conversation between the two, both of which are part of a “a bigger...
