London Fashion Week

As previously stated, i was in and amongst bloggers, models, designers, celebs and photographers alike at london fashion week. This is the outfit i chose to wear...

The main thing about this outfit was my addition made by my jacket. Receiving many comments on it, it soon became a piece of interest. Designed by London based store Lazy Oaf, this black and white digital print anorak became the talk of passerbys.

Originally I wore dark blue skinny jeans (Topman), Chelsea boots (Topman) and a sky blue 70's style Farah polo shirt I picked up from T.K.Maxx. In my bag I packed a red sweatshirt and this Lazy oaf jacket. As the day progressed, I felt cold and donned my sweatshirt and jacket. Almost instantly, someone asked to take a picture if me...

London Fashion Week - Street Style, Day 2

Hey, I attended the London Fashion Week as a blogger and photographer to gain inspiration and experience in the fashion. This is my second year of turning up  to Somerset House and parading the courtyard around the chrome covered tent, photographing the hipsters and fashionistas as they wait to watch their favourite designers catwalk shows. To any start-up blogger and Photographer, I genuinely recommend the experience... you will not be disappointed. It is an amazing way to gain inspiration, acquire new contacts and build your portfolio.

Below is a group of images that showcase some of the best street style...

Unfortunately due to school and work etc. I was only able to attend one day otherwise I would happily document everyday day but who knows about the future... maybe one day I'll be invited into a show...

For all images i took that day, check the out the editorial page.

Wireless Festival Day One

Bit late now (i thought i posted this agggges ago... sorry :/) but on the 4th July i went to "The Wireless festival" in Finsbury Park, London.

The headliner this year was fashion forward rap star Kanye West. If you kept up to date with the festival and heard about his set, you might have heard about apparent booing of him off stage... this didn't happen. Yes we heard some booing, but it wasn't that loud and it wasn't a massive crowd gathering and he quite clearly did not hear it as he continued to deliver his 20 minute rant about black rappers not given equal opportunities outside of their fields. 


Honestly i thought he was sick and he delivered an fantastic set, delivering some killer hits out of his vast collection. songs such as "good life", "can't tell me nothing", "touch the sky" and "black skinhead" rocked the festival from the front through the back which when coupled with Kanye's visual artistry, the crowd got a lot more than what they payed for.

The Wireless festival is situated in East London and young adults pay £70-£80 for a days worth a world class performers stretching from the quick up-and-coming artists to legends in the game such as Jay Z and Kanye West. With its urban music blasting throughout the festival, the crowds attract a multitude of different people. With this in mind, you can only imagine what the dress code is like. After experiencing the Wireless Festival the year before, you get the general idea that people dress to impress. Unlike other festivals, people aren't donning floral head bands and wearing crisp white dresses and wellies. At Wireless, people come rocking their mesh tops, short shorts, bucket hats and Jordan's. So this year i decided to follow in suit and copped myself the DxpeChef Black and white Dashiki from their 'Dashiki Capsule' and coupled it with some mustard coloured shorts from H&M and Gourmet Wood-chip patterned Trainers.

CHEFldn Redemption Ss14

For my first post i wish to talk about CHEFldn’s 2014 spring/summer collection.

REDemption Ss14

Showcasing this particular collection at London Fashion Week in February, Chief Designer and Founder Macharia Brian presented this “East vs West” concept in one of the events showrooms. Using the Japanese influence and martial art model as a basis for this collection, London based brand Dope Chef/CHEFldn created a juxtaposition of both lifestyle and tradition. Taking influences from his re-branding, Macharia uses his iconic” Un-United states flag” against Ying Yang symbolism to bring the traditional attire of many Samurais and their Senseis and re-imagine it  into modern, high-end streetwear.

As a big fan of Dope Chef’s original brand as well as their re-branding, i have now become a big lover of everything Macharia Brian designs and this Ss14 collection is no exception for me. The way he takes the  monochrome designs further by giving them themes and purpose, Macharia Brian isn’t just creating novelty pieces for this collection as he gives us high quality, timeless fashion without presenting an overriding take on eastern culture. It is fashion collections like this that gives designers and brands such a DopeChef/CHEFldn  the ability to be classed as artists.

Thank you for reading. This is my first ever post and i would like to hear your opinions on both the content of the piece as well as my writing.
