Spring Disney

It's a print that comes around each year with the seasons and the dated appeal is great for the retro style. Sported by many celebrities including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kate Moss and Beyoncé, Mickey Mouse still makes his debut.


Whether it's just where I've recently come back from Disneyland Paris and still have the Disney fever (Big Kid) Its that time of year where Mickey prints are creeping back in.
The recent May issue of ASOS magazine bared a full page feature of Mickey trending in this print Sweatshirt.


Looking back key designers have shown a Disney festation on the catwalks dating back to the beginning of the millenium including A.F Vandervorst, Iceberg and Jean-Charles De Castelbajac

Cheryl Cole Dressed in Ramzi Musa!

In the latest shots leaked out of Cheryl Cole filming for her new video 'Call my Name' she is distinctively wearing (which everyone should be familiar with by now) the Ramzi Musa collection for Browns Focus.



Cheryl looks absolutely amazing in Musa's prints. For her comeback video and image change, I cannot wait to see the finished vid.

But Cheryl wasnt the first to strut in Musa prints! Jessie J was spotted wearing the jumpsuit from the collection around this time last year performing on stage.

 

I met with (and extremely pleased to have done so) Ramzi Musa to discuss and talk about his then latest collection with Browns Focus for my uni project and it is so wonderful to see and proven how well he is doing today. I first came across Musa's work when living and breathing around the Browns house name and as much as Browns have collaborated with other up-coming names, Ramzi Musa prints were the definitive eye catcher.

As it proves a year on from meeting Musa his collection is still peaking and I cannot wait to see what other projects he will release. I give my absolute support and wish Musa more future luck with his work.

Selfridges Womens Designer Galleries


I've recently visited Selfridges London to their new Women's Designer Galleries feature in store.

Not having been to Selfridges in some time, regretably, I was soon reminded by the lavish setting and luxury envrionment to rome around in the best of fashion. Love it.
You literally could walk around Selfridges and be a person who is not necessarily into fashion but can still appreciate just how emmense the building really is. As huge as it looks from the outside, inside does it justice.

Back to the Women's Designer Galleries, which launch mid January this year as well as online, explores a new exciting way to appreciate fashion in a new shopping concept and serene environment.
A Selection of key and top designer talent is carefully curated around a showroom style shop floor, well, without describing it as a shop floor. I have to admit when, I first was learning about the concept I wasnt fully understood exactly how to visualise and understand exactly what the Gallery was until going into store. It really is a must see feature and really makes you appreciate just how great a place Selfridges is representing to designer fashion.

Visit online to view the in the making videos and concept ideas behind the scenes.

ASOS Challenge

ASOS have posted a new competition through Facebook titled Worn to Death Challenge . Quite random but it did make me laugh looking at how bad some wear their shoes.

Facebook fans simply vote by 'liking' the most battered pair.

Gone but Never Forgotten...The Legendary Whitney Houston

As the devastation spreads of the news of Whitney Houston passing away last night the messages and respects flood Twitter and Facebook.

Another great and legendary artist lost at such a young age. Living a life in the public eye and especially within these past years Whitney has shown a struggle and battled to come back forth with her career, which only seems like last year she did her comeback tour.

Solange Knowles tweeted a really important and valid message that we should all listen to that we should not pay attention to the reasons how and why she passed but too what happiness she bought to our world.

Today I've been thinking of my favourite Whitney songs and feel we should celebrate the times she has bought memorabelia to our lives with her songs.

My favourite Whitney Houston song is proberly not your most stereotypical favourite amongst the playlist but it was always and has always been one of mine. I will never get bored of listening to her songs and she has been a favourite amongst all age groups and era's.

Osman Yousefzada

High end against urban, love how the model is seemingly superimpositioned on the scene giving that contrasting edge.
