Quote of the Day...

This quote is taken from the February 2012 issue of Company Magazine which featured a small column interviewing Alexa Chung.

 

"When I'm aged 90, I like to think I'll look like a shrivelled prune in a Peter Pan Collar"

Iris Van Herpen

Published in yesterday's Metro newspaper I came across these Haute Couture creations from Dutch designer, Iris Van Herpen.

Killer heel indeed! Taking a bite of McQueens infamous sequinned stilletto skyscrapers (enjoy the pun) worn in Lady GaGa's Bad Romance video, embarking great resembelence.

 



Twenty8Twelve Sister Departure

Fashion label Twenty8Twelve has announced yesterday both Sienna Miller and sister Savannah Miller have stepped down from co-creative directors.

  

 

Twenty8Twelve was named after Sienna's birthday and has shown distinctive contemporary fashion for the past 6 years. Both sisters have chosen to leave to pursue further areas. The fashion label will still run under the guidance of the design team so fear not Twenty8Twelve will still continue. Nish Soneji is managing director of the label and has already spoke about areas of growth when the sisters leave including a better revamped online site and plans to showcase at the next London Fashion Week.

I'm sure we will be seeing more of Savannah Miller's design idea's as she boast's great experience and affluence previously working under Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson before the start of her duo with her sister.

Best of luck to the Miller's. I will be looking forward to seeing the new collections from Twenty8Twelve soon!!

Office Work Experience

I’m very excited to be starting a short work intern placement next week with leading shoe retailer, Office.

As always, I like to polish up on the brands ethos and be more knowledgeable on what they stand for. As its proven Office first began in the 80’s and early made its mark in London’s most popular and prestigious destinations including King’s Road, South Molten Street, Portobello Road and Camden. Office launched a sister brand in 1996 called ‘Offspring’ which focuses on fashion sports footwear, whereas primarily Office being all occasion fashion footwear.

Office undoubtedly is a core destination for London style footwear for both men and women. Whether the shelves display sky high Mary-Jane heels or multiple choices for retro printed Converse, there is shoe for everyone. Being proud to show a portfolio of celebrity fans including The Saturdays, Fearne Cotton and Tulisa Contostavlos.

I’ll be working with the Buying team for a week which I am extremely looking forward to! Primarily holding PR and ecommerce experience, Buying is a whole new role for me to get involved in.

Wish me luck!



Quote of the Day...

Today's quote of the day is more of a personal motivation to myself and I hope can relate to other's in any position you may be in. I saw this quote from TheCoolHunter.co.uk within their Lifestyle page posted just beforethe new year of 2011. Definately an inspiring approach to looking ahead for 2012 and a way of appreciating and moving forward with all the hard work you have done in 2011.

The most fashionable thing you can be is to be you.

If your job sucks, stop blaming others, your boss, your parents, the unverse. Just quit and take responsibility for your own choices. It’s not about the sucky job. It is about you being in the wrong place. There’s never a better time than now.

Start doing what your mind has been ticking away for you to do for years. Take risks. Be in a relationship that flows effortlessly. Trust your gut feeling. Intuition is strong and powerful.
