London Fashion WeeK 2012 - Street Style Day Three 18.9.11 Colour of the Day: MUSTARD


The sense of confidence in this mans personal style is great - how many others can pull off an over sized tailored jacket, electric pleated sarong and turn up jeans? It is the jacket I love the most in this outfit with its strong saturated mustard colour, another favourite shade of mine for this AW 11 that I noticed on the catwalk of Lanvin. Minus the jeans, change the bag and shoes and I think I could wear this outfit myself - beautiful.

London Fashion WeeK 2012 - Street Style Day Three 18.9.11


This young lady looked ever so sweet at LFW on Sunday with her knitted
dress and Chanel-esque pearl necklace.I love the neutral palette she chose with the subtle contrast of a baby pink python over sized clutch. Although the reason I had to snap this ensemble was for the tailored coat she completed her outfit with. The colour is timeless and it is such a clean structured silhouette with details kept to the essential and minimum.



This lady has great taste as I also have these tights. I think the juxtaposition of the girly lace dress and cropped tailored jacket with the provocative hold up patterned tights work really well. Although I personally would have chose more minimal accessories to accompany the outfit but her choice of bag and hat work as great ambassadors for her eclectic mix of style.


Day three and the bow ties are still out in force! This guy looks awesome with his bow tie that appears to be a silk scarf of some sort, fashioned into a bow tie. The jacket is also an extremely interesting hybrid of a tailored jacket and sporting hoody with its neckline and zipped fastening - the draped pockets and layered body lend to an interesting way of pattern cutting. I want his jacket so bad!!


This lady lady looked very timeless with her choice of classic trench coat, white shirt, black drainpipes and black boots. What caught my attention though was the tipped cowboy style collar on her shirt. When asking where it was from I found out that she and her accompanying friend were the designers.

...and again... it was the clean cut tailored jacket that sold this outfit for me.


Another lady popular with the camera this day was the lady below with her killer Louboutin heels, leather skinny trousers with gold stud details around the pockets, lurex gold draped top with neat contrasting black collar and black cropped tailored jacket. This ensemble appeals more to my preference of style with her neatly fastened back hair and minimal choice of accessories.


Again my shoe envy for the day - these studded heel lace up boots are FIERCE!! Love them...


If only we could all look as effortlessly cool and stunning as this off duty model - with a figure like that I am assuming she was a model. Everything about this outfit is bang on point and her hair is so luscious I need to find out what shampoo and conditioner she uses! It is a shame that cheap fakes and rip offs have tarred the Louis Vuitton motif to a certain degree but I think that she pulls it off great - probably because you know fine well that with this beauty it is most likely to be genuine!



This cheeky Mr put a smile on everyones face out in the courtyard of Somerset House as he posed in various positions for the snapping cameras - he was milking it basically, but all in the name of good fun. He was definitely a great walking advertisement for Topman from which his whole outfit came from.


This dandy was rather shy bless him but not too shy to pull off this stylish number. Palette wise he is perfect for me with classic shades of black and grey allowing the focus to be on the cut, silhouette and detail of his chosen garments. Styling wise the trousers tucked in was a cute personal touch and the hat and brown suede shoes balance out the ensemble.


Another Mr shy but such a gentleman, his styling of jumper with shirt collar kept tucked under the neckline and peeking out at the hem is a favourite look of mine that worked well with his uber skinny black trousers and soft leather biker jacket.


You can never go wrong with a spot of classic military!

Opus Alchymicum: The Nigredo Texture

Treated
Aged and ruined
Coating cracks destructively
over time
Signs of violence
Devore
Destroyed denims
Scratched surfaces
Shifts and shakes 
Chaotic tangled yarns 
Rotting earth 
Stained scarred and boiled
