Dancing in The street




Last summer I was wandering around the river Thames
in London late one afternoon, and I stumbled upon
the best band just entertaining the crowds,
some of whom were dancing with such complete
abandon under the sinking sun, pints of lager in hand.

I love Europe in the summer as they really make the
most of the warm evenings and the increased daylight
hours.

Covers part 1





I've always loved the cover of i-D magazine. with it's
winking beauty.
When I was studying design way back when, I would
buy it along with The Face, every month for inspiration.
It was also these two mags that first got me into street-
fashion.

Black and Navy

This is one of my favourite colour
combinations.


I really like the black sneakers and the
slightly flared pants as well.
Simple and effortless style!

Pros and Cons

A relaxed day in the city of London..
beaten -up Converse are the shoe of choice
for this couple.
What shoes do you throw on when you
don't want to think about it but comfort
and simple style is paramount ?

Lunettes

I think it was Gaga who pioneered the
resurgence of these round frames.
Now I have noticed them around a lot.
Could they replace the wayfarer style
which is so ubiquitous on the streets?
Keep a very round eye on this one...

Beautiful Handcuffs




London really makes up for it's bad reputation when it
when it comes to the student riots of late, and political
or phone tapping scandals, with it's wonderful public
sculptures and art installations.

This one on the banks of the Thames in Westminster
has a collection of poems written by refugees.
Extremely powerful and often very moving, it
helps those who read these writings from the heart
empathize with the plight of those displaced and facing
a new set of challenges and often a new sense of
freedom in their new London home.

London really is a city so full of surprisingly touching
and interesting endeavors to raise social consciousness
and create more friendly and compelling public
spaces.

Shiny Happy Panda



I just realized how dark and
frankly gruesome my last few
images have been!
So on a lighter note,

How about something with bling, panda-
bears...all shiny, sparkling and cute.
I really love the clash as well ; this fun pendant
with the black leather old-skool vest and white tee.
