Lover - White Moon Rising SS 09/10

Cult label Lover's upcoming offering evokes a sense of underlying magick within its minimalistic forms. The name itself "White Moon Rising"conjures up this vibe.
Staying true to its signature aesthetic of clean cut with the hint of rock 'n' roll edge, this collection simultaneously explores two personalities, the good girl and the wild child through its mix of innocent lace contrasted against ruby velvet, leather and leopard prints.

This underlying theme is conveyed in a subtle manner, allowing the wearer to explore the aesthetic in their own unique way. Most pieces remain timeless in the wardrobe, making each item a staple. In my opinion that is what makes the perfect label and is why I love Lover.

I can see myself channeling Stevie Nicks circa 1975 in some of the velvet and lace pieces...

Banal Chic Bizarre AW/09

A great follow up to the indie Japanese label's unisex SS/09 collection. I've noticed that the label is featured a lot on Tokyo street style websites.

Karina Pires

Drawing inspiration from her favorite summer things, like the ocean and the sun, Karina Pires explores hand dyed fabrics, a water-colour print, hand crafted ruffles and ribbon applied texture for Spring Summer 09-10. This summer it is the contrast between soft and structured that creates an “airy” sort of feel, presented in the form of simple yet strong silhouettes.

There are some absolute treasures in this collection. My picks are the digitally printed leggings and the ruffle dress.

Ferm Living

I am a big fan of Scandinavian design so I was thrilled to find Danish home-ware company Ferm Living. They cover everything from wallpaper and decals to funky cushions and bedspreads, this is really inspiring stuff.
