Can we go to India please?


You have got to be fucking kiddin me?

This is probably the ugliest collection of so called clothes I've ever had the misfortune of laying, my now deeply scarred eyes on. It's looks like Sesame Streets debut collection, not the 4th collection from British Designer Louise Grey. Honestly this is a fuckin disgrace, she should be ashamed of herself. I could give my 9 and 5 year old brothers these atrocious materials and I can guarantee they could come up with something more wearable than this pile of shite. Fuckin annoys me that there are so many talented, struggling designers in the UK that would kill for an opportunity to be on schedule at LFW, and instead we get this tripe.





Monday Tunage

Swag On.

These guys def flicked their Swag Switch to ON. They look fuckin incredible- this has to be the sickest collaborative collection of Ralph Lauren garms in existence. It's a bit of a long video, so if you can't be arsed to watch it all skip to about half way to see the full effect of the Goose Down army. Not really sure what this is all about but I'm gona try and find out some info, right after I trawl eBay for some new RL garms, most definitely wearing my pink and white striped RL shirt for at least a week now.

Lady Gaga by Terry Richardson | Supreme

I no this is late and you probably all have seen the set already but I just figured out why I'm so into it. It's ugly trailer trash. I would certainly ugly it up in Richardson's hands. I don't think ugly would have been so damn sexy without him so all props go to Richardson from me.  





I would like to see what madness Terry and Gaga come up with without working with a brand. 

PPQ A/W11

PPQ was pretty reserved this season, the colour palette was white, grey and black- just the kinda uplifting vibe you need in the winter months. The little black dress featured heavily,16 out of the 28 looks were LBD's. Just so happens I worship at the LBD church so this collection, as painfully colour-less as it is, is like Easter Sunday for me.

Lil Kim- Black Friday

Speaking of Lil Kim, she released the video for her diss track Black Friday a few days ago. Kim isn't being coy about the ruckus like Nicki Minaj, she wants us to know she's sending for her. Honestly I think, in the words of Minaj 'has been, yeah I said it has been, hang it up, flat screen'. Kim just isn't pulling her weight, duno if its cos I've heard the beat a zillion times or just that Kim sounds shite next to Nicki (no bias).
 

Danielle Scutt A/W11

I freakin love Danielle Scutt. It made me very happy to see that she is showing again, after 3 seasons away from the runway. I gota say though she's narf grown up in her time away, not really sure I like the new style as much as the old stuff. Part of the attraction for me was her playfulness, something thats def gone out the window in the new collection. Don't worry though, she's still hitting the mark on the sex appeal, it's just a bit more Liz Hurly circa 1995 sexy than Lil Kim circa 1994.  Still though, there are some beautiful pieces in this collection and the jewellery/accessories are on point.







Grammy Awards

After having a hectic week, today I've spent my day catching up on some shite TV. I know I'm a lil slow on the Grammy's but for those who missed it like me, I reccommend watching the B.O.B, Bruno Mars and Jonelle Monet performance. 
I now have a new love for Mr Mars after this, lovin the old school vibe he got goin awwwnn. Ce Lo look fuckin incredible in his furry soldier Cleopatra birdman costume-
LOVE the outfit RiRi wore for her performance with Drake and I'm lovin the lil dance hall vibe they got goin on with the dancin. Can't bloody wait for Summer and Carnival!


Jeremy Scott A/W 2011

As I've said before I love the Jeremy Scott/Adidas collaborations, but I just don't get the JS collections. It's all a bit to naff and larey for me (never thought I'd say that about anything). The latest collection was inspired by Jeremy's memories of the 90's- 'I was thinking a lot about 1994: going to school, getting dressed up to go to parties, the enthusiasm I had' as well as Gregg Araki's Nowhere and Clueless. Sounds good eh? Errrr try nah. The collection makes me itch on sight and winch at the thought of the carpet burns that would certainly ensue if you actually went raving in this patchwork of latex, leather and fuck knows what else.













Your prob thinkin this lots canny, well thats cos I've chosen the best. To see the madness in full check out Style.
