This week Topman presented their SS10 collection. The colour pallet was composed mainly of blacks and greys with infusions of green shades.. From the cut to the fit Topman returned to the classic rock style they are famous for. Last year the collection contained many bright colours this year Topman goes for a more understated look.

 Jeremy Scott  may hail from Kansas City but for  his SS10 show in London he returned to Bedrock. The collection payed homage to the iconic  60′s cartoon family, the Flinstones. The collection is  surely  creative and buzz-worthy but some items such as the menswear  were low in wearability and I  really cant see any guys  wearing a polkadot loincloth or a mankini.  The womens  line  had a higher wearability factor. It included sexy swimsuits, togas and tunics. The denim pieces and the bone print jumpsuits were the highlight of the show.

The show featured celeb models Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe and Liberty Ross as well as Dominique Hollingsworth, Cole Mohr, Chanel Iman, Ash Stymest and Lekeline Stange.

YABA DABA DOOO!

Topshop Unique Spring Summer 2010 show from London Fashion Week.

I thought I'd post one of my favorite designers, who I think is severely under-rated, Antonio Berardi. I Love the feminine lines of the clothes. As usual with Antonio Berardi collections, the clothes have a sexy vibe and are built around enhancing the natural curves of a woman's body. His spring summer 2010 collection included paneled dresses, corset dresses, vest-dresses. The color pallette ranged from nude tones to orange, blue and black.

  Last Friday. September 18th, Nike Sportswear and East London rapper Dizzee Rascal released a limited edition, Nike Air Max 90 'Tongue N' Cheek' sneaker.

Like a fusion between casual wear and formal. The color  palette included  pastelle the usual menswear staple colours (brown, grey, black and white). The show featured  Major models, Patrick Rukai, Thierry Pepin, Ryan Konig, Kerry Degman and Chad White.
