    Right, so I’ve been told to speed things up here in blog-land, so if you want the full force of my deep thoughts, you will just have to take me out for dinner.

    Ossie Clark: Not sure how I felt about this baby, and judging by the merely polite applause after the show for new designer Avsh Alom Gur’s offerings, many of my comrades felt similarly conflicted. While some retro touches, like bright shift dresses and oversize buttons evoked the glory days of old, most of it failed to inspire. Hmmm…was it best to let sleeping seventies labels lie?

    My London Fashion Week kicked off backstage at Poltock & Walsh with super-cute Canadian stylist/magazine editor/London it-girl, Leith Clark, who styled the show (Psst! Watch for more on her in an upcoming issue of FASHION!)

    Cross by Justice

    Once you get these bouncy tracks in your head, you’re a goner. This über-cool Paris duo (a.k.a. Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé) have been cheerily tearing up dance floors in Europe with their unique mix of electronic pop mashed up with a very hearty splash of disco and an undercurrent of techno.
