Fashion forward...

I love shorts and have been wearing them throughout this past winter; cutting down heavy old cords and other traditional gear to re-assemble for a post modern feel...

Meanwhile, if I were to start reporting on designers new to me I would award YENIKOLKA/ Berlin "4 sheers" with a possible "5 "

Five, if they source their fabrics in a smart way, such as re-cycling (which makes the clothing more expensive) or buying closeouts which I prefer.

I like designers who buy closeout because it makes the finished pieces less expensive for them to make and us to buy and much more desirable and exclusive because of a one-of-a-kind- air around it >>>

The only pieces I did'nt love were the items cut from fake-fur instead of that I would have used a good heavy corduroy and given it a hard wash and strong press to soften and distress...

Remembering September...

A fashion and communications student filming with a fun crew of students last LFW. I remember them as her group were very funny to watch.

She always seemed to be working very hard schlepping and chasing after colleagues who would spot funny subject to photograph or film. While the boys in the crew were always running off, leaving her to schlep the heavy equipment in those shoes...

Sunday bonus...

I usually only publish six days a week but because I have not recently had a good editorial chance to include these photos but because I'm having a bit of a spring clean wanted to get these out there before London Fashion Week...

Also the BBC were filming for a BBC program about bloggers to be shown on BBC 4 around now... If anyone catches it please let us know as we have dumped our TV a while back...

Swedish Style in London....

I love this woman's urban camouflage

Art Night last Thursday was very cold and windy with lots of hats and caps blown-off but this Swedish woman had well prepared: tightly wrapped-up, tucked-in and looked fab... What I call "Art Night" is a late night art held on the First Thursdays of the month in London's East End: More >>>

Apologies to all who use our blog links as they seem to have disappeared? Strangely, it still shows on the template that information keeps disappearing from on our home page.

Rest assured we are trying to recover the original and meanwhile I'm building and new list of my favourite sites I visit every week or so.... Perhaps this is an omen and time to change things up a bit?

Please let me know in the comment area, if there is anything you would like to see more of?

Best Regards, Robert Cassidy, StyleScout LDN
