Designers to watch: Alix of Bohemia

Unconventional is one of my favourite terms.

Whether it be a nonchalant accessory mixed into a clean cut outfit, a flash of lingerie through a conservative shirt or even those circa 90's shoes that you promised yourself you'd never wear again but somehow manage to work their way into your daily ensemble - I'm all about the unexpected. (Hilarious considering my day planner is my bible.)

With this sentiment in mind, I came across Alix of Bohemia and it was love at first jacket collar pop. Known as the gypsy tailor, Alix of Bohemia was born from a love of travelling the world by founder Alix Verley- Pietrafesa. Having artistry in her blood and a passion for textiles, this ready to wear label has sashay'd it's way into premium stores such as Moda Operandi, Flat 128 and Warm NYC.

What's my favourite from the 2017 collection?

The Valentina...

The Bohemia...

And my all time favourite, The Prince (both name & jacket will make you feel like you're owning it)...

So whether you're a hippie, a groupie, a free-spirit or just looking for the unexpected Alix of Bohemia is the perfect 2017 addition to your wardrobe.

Welcome to the Tribe.

LFW Report: Jasper Conran AW15

I'd heard whispers. 

"An Autumn Extravaganza", "A stroll through Central Park" - none of which could prepare me for the magic, courtesy of Jasper Conran, that lay ahead.

Worth every nab of Frost Bite during the Winter Season! 

Running late, as usual, I arrived back to the pavilion only to do an ambitious, yet shockingly graceful, sprint across the cobbled courtyard (always time for a picture) to swoop straight into the Jasper Conran AW15 show. 

The rumors were true, I was about to be given the true Autumn/ Winter 2015 experience! 

In true poetic fashion, Model's glided down the runway juxtaposed by contrasting fabrics from this design-wizard! This winter, Conrad plans to cloak you in richness (by all meanings of the word!) 

A palette that spans all things plum, navy, olive & mulberry- Conran waxed lyrical with a plethora of contrasting layered fabrics- Cashmere, Velvet, Sheepskin- oh my! 

With perhaps an all too vigorous standing ovation at the end of the show, sorry bystanders, my fashion senses were sent into overdrive at the thought of rocking these geometric prints this Autumn! 

Can we speed past summer?!
