Sergeant Pepper Working Class heroes video Campaign Spring/ Summer 2014

July 16, 2014

So my friend Zak who is behind the awesome men’s label Sergeant Pepper launch their new Working Class heroes video Campaign Spring/ Summer 2014 today. Check it out, not only is it an interesting campaign that celebrates local artisans and their similar outlook on life to that of the Sergeant Pepper brand, but it’s also showcases some great clothes from the label itself and a very cool guy from the Congo named Ollie.

Can’t wait to see more instalments….

“‘Working Class Heroes’ is a Sergeant Pepper Campaign celebrating specific local artisans that we believe share a very similar brand ethos and outlook on life. They are heroes pouring everything they have into this one single passion and pursuit, and are pioneers in their respective industries. We wanted to document a day in the life of these artisans and reveal a bit of the process behind the amazing product that their community engages with, hence the phrase: ‘Work hard, stay inspired.'”

Jarapa Jarapa clothing

July 7, 2014

Jarapa Jarapa-2

These very crazy, but cool pieces are made by Barcelona based label Jarapa Jarapa. From what I can gather via their Facebook page and a very helpful Spanish to English online translator, I’ve learnt that each piece that this label makes is unique and never repeated, once made ​​the pattern for that specific item is destroyed, so that the buyer is the only one that owns it. How cool is that?

I really like all the mad patterns they use to spruce up a shirt or a denim jacket, I mean who would say no to a bacon shirt? What about a dinosaur or a banana one, not me, that’s for sure.

June 6, 2014

orla kiely-14

Orla Kiely is one of my most favourite designers, she makes pretty, girly clothing that will probably make you feel like you’re on the set of Gossip Girl if you had to wear them. I have blogged about her stuff many a time and this morning I saw that Cath had pinned a picture of her latest Resort 2015 collection, so I went to go have a look at it.

Once again, it’s pretty and fun and has her name written all over it. So I picked some of my favourites and have included them below.

Black & white things

June 2, 2014

black-and-white-2

Hello everybody, hope you all had a wonderful weekend… and are having a lovely Monday morning.

This weekend I went on a bit of a shop, I was looking for new cushions for our couch and a black and white rug for Shangie’s room. Lucky for me, those are the exact things that I found, I literally walked into a few stores and came out with the stuff I needed. I also scored a few other very cool things this weekend, that fit nicely into my monochrome colour scheme, so I thought I would do a black and white post showcasing them all.

I found this very awesome rug at Mr Price Home, you can’t see it in the picture, but it’s a good size and they had a few others that were really nice too, so if you’re looking for rugs, go check them out.

Rachel Antonoff Autumn/Winter 2014 collection

May 16, 2014

019

The other day on the Frankie blog I watched this very quirky and unexpected fashion film for Rachel Antonoff’s Autumn/Winter 2014 collection. It’s not like your typical fashion video, it has no slo-mo shots of models flittering through lace curtains while they gently blow in the wind. No handsome couples running down the streets of New York looking like they just escaped a crowded party that was being documented in black and white and now are finally alone to gaze into each others eyes, while everything around them moves at a snail’s pace. No, this video is fun and quirky, just like Rachel’s collection, which I have included a few pieces of below.
