Power and The Fashion Industry

So as I struggle through my second term workload I recently started research for an essay on the fashion industry. I came across a very interesting talk by James Scully as part of The Business of Fashion Voices series (linked below). The casting director talked on the unfair treatment and well,  pretty much abuse models suffer at the hands of stylist and designers.

Some interesting points were risen about the loss of individuality and diversity that seemed to have come and gone in the industry. James Scully mentioned how labels such as Prada adopted a 'look' which defined the industry of a girl, with no shape and lack of femininity becoming essentially the face of fashion. As a result a domino effect occurred whereby other labels created copycats of this one look and saturated the entire industry.

Such a shocking insight into the fashion industry but worth a watch!

LFW Update: Edeline Lee

 

 

 

 

On Saturday I had the opportunity to see the AW17 Womenswear collection by Edeline Lee. The presentation held at The Barge House in South Bank had a really cool warehouse vibe with TV's dotted around the loft like building. The models slowly moved around the room to be photographed in front of different backdrops whilst I stood in awe of how beautiful they all were.  The styling was edgy but classic with one lip coloured and natural hair that really created an elegant aesthetic that juxtaposed against the location. However, I 100% could not pull this one lip look off- as much as I want to try!!!

 

The collection in all was really exciting with clean silhouettes that had a futuristic feeling. I wanted so many of the pieces but I'd have to skip rent and food for the next year so I cannot justify buying anything- unfortunately. So glad I got to see the presentation and look forward to seeing more from the designer in the future. #windowshopping

 

Definitely recommend looking the designer up if you don't know her!!

Black Cat, Hackney

 Finding some cool vegan places around London is actually more fun than stressful. With the rise in the trend of being 'vegan' loads of restaurants now offer vegan options and alternatives. However, it's still hit and miss going out for food in a place than isn't 100% vegan.

Anyway the other day I ventured out to Hackney with a few of my girls and we came across Black Cat. It's a volunteer run spot for delicious food with everything on the menu being vegan- even the blonide brownies and milkshakes!!

Highly recommend this spot if your in the East area of London. Guilty free, good food with good fast service.

#Inspo Anna Sui FW17

Feeling super inspired by the FW17 NWFY Anna Sui collection. Bella Hadid is absolute goals along with her big sister Gigi. In love with styling with the sassy space buns and dark blue heavy eye shadow. Definitely want to steal this look with the paisley print jumpsuit and blue fur coat- so much love. #needfunds

#POTD

Today's essentials. I love a good coffee table book just to flick through the pages and feel inspired. I'm still obsessing over my Instaxmini8 Polaroid camera- the best way to capture memoires whilst at UNI!
