Congratulations to the winners at Monday’s British Fashion Awards, there were some lovely red carpet looks and some great acceptance speeches too.  Well done to Christopher Kane who won the New Establishment Award and the fabulous Charlotte Olympia (whose shoes many were spotted wearing to the event) as she won Accessories Designer of the Year.

Watch our video with Charlotte as we talk inspirations, must haves and take a tour of her london showroom.

…tonights British Fashion Awards! Dubbed the Oscars of fashion by the UK press we can’t wait to see what everyone wears and who wins the coveted awards.  We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for some fab fashion moments and want to wish the best of luck to all nominated but maybe extra specially to Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto (both nominated for an emerging talent award), Christopher Kane (designer of the year), Antonio Berardi (red carpet award), Charlotte Olympia (accessory designer) and Burberry (designer brand). Good luck!

 

 

Updated versions of key style staples from the 1970s have flooded the catwalks for Fall/Winter so we decided to take the trend to our favourite record store, Marquee Moon, to help us get into the groove! Signature prints from Versace and Etro were used to accessorize vintage tailoring in leather and velvet to capture this season’s obsession with the rich colours and retro shapes that have inspired designers such as Roberto Cavalli and Burberry.   This look doesn’t have to take you back in time however, Zagliani used python print and funky details on i-pad cases to bring a touch of disco to modern accessories. Simply pair with a silk scarf or a fur stole if you want to give a nod to the trend but don’t feel brave enough to work it to the max just yet, although we whole heartedly encourage experimenting with this season’s super flattering flares that are also set to be big for Spring/Summer 2012.

Kate Bosworth has been looking great recently! We loved the tribal print at the recent Burberry Body event in L.A. and now we’ve spotted her stepping out in a wonderful example of off duty chic! Mulberry is often the go to label for girls about town who want a quick fix of understated luxury and this Tillie duffle coat is perfect, teamed with a loose dress and ankle boots, for an afternoon stroll through the autumn leaves.
