COMME DES GARCONS: PLAY PERFUME

New range of frags is set for release from Comme TOMORROW! as I’ve just been kindly reminded by enthusiastic (who wouldn’t be) PR Imogen. As our nostrils are yet to have a sniff, I was about to request a press release to better understand the contents of this strikingly simple product. No need it seems. Scrolled down the message a little further, and almost in the form of a save the date, a capitalised list declares: ‘DESIGN BY NOT DESIGNING, NO DESIGN IS DESIGN, THE PROTOTYPE IS STRONG, ABSENCE OF CONCEPT IS CREATION.’ Bloody brilliant! What we do know is theres a RED PLAY, BLACK PLAY and GREEN PLAY, which in turn are sweet, peppery and fresh. Also know for certain we’ll be needing all three!

Having your hands free is so important today. How else are to going to do those million different things all at once?!

RIO DE JANEIRO:

The Fasano Rio de Janeiro- how lucky am I today. This is the view sitting up in my bed at the hotel, the sea crashing against powdery golden sands, and the wonderful sounds of it all! Then of course the mountains perched on the horizon. Really, what more could I ask for?

CARTIER: THE QUEEN’S CUP 2012- THE PRESIDENTS DRAW

Slamming into my inbox this morning, a crate of champers and an enormous cup for…filling?! No, clearly not. Wednesdays are the new Thursdays you see, and Thursdays used to be the new Fridays…and we all know Fridays were once for PARTAY-ing. So apologies-we’re slightly distracted by a hungover thirst this morning. This is in fact the precious and most prestigious Cartier Queens cup, and the bottles were for celebrating the Presidents draw which took place at the brands New Bond Street Boutique on Tuesday evening. First matches will begin on the 22nd, and though we’re not the sportiest of sorts at 10, observing Polo’s a little more glamorous than…lets say…watching Sky Sports down your local, so stay tuned for more news from proceedings in days to come…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD GRAY (PART 2)

Ok Richard, we promise not to torture you with a full on time line of these posts, but saw this image pinned above her in charge’s desk and couldn’t resist. Certain senior member of the team (that’ll remain nameless) has referred to this historical fashion moment as ‘ladies jacket & poop collectors’, but to utilise your own turn of phrase, the rest of us think it’s MODERN!

If superman wore sunglasses, which he of course doesn’t on the account of his X ray vision, these would be his! Not just because are they super, but because DUH they’d match his outfit perfectly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD GRAY!!

Dearest Richard, It’s your birthday! And early as it is, we hope you’re having a wild one already. Speaking of wild- there we were thinking you the shy type, as you’ve a terrible habit of diva twirling towards the exit every time we see you ‘in da club’. QUELLE SUPRISE! We discover the enclosed. On the cover of some underground shirt lifters rag no less?! Anyway- cover girl at the ripe old age of 21. Quite the accomplishment. May the anniversary of your birth be filled with a multitude of similarly fabulous moments. Disclaimer: this is not in fact Richard Gray.

TOPMAN: MENSWEAR RULES BRITANNIA- A CHARITABLE AFFAIR FOR NEWGEN MEN

True patriots at 10 Towers, our love of British design and the monarchy goes hand in hand with Tompan’s new range of Menswear Rules Britannia T-shirts. Designed by each of The NewGen Menswear designers, the range of tees are simultaneously whetting our appetite for the first ever Men’s fashion week in London come June, and leaving a gooey feeling in our hearts, as a fiver from the proceeds of each design will be re-invested in home grown design talent through the Princess of Wales Charitable trust. Established in recognition of Diana’s support for British designers, there’s more than a pinch of the princesses 90’s heyday to the range of styles from James Long, Katie Eary, Lou Dalton, Sibling and Christopher Shannon. Slightly in love with the East 17-esque models also!
