Analysing Jaws




Today's daily style fix on the wonderful Nowness site sees Accessories blogger and Shoe Designer Marc Hare AKA Mr Hare dissect the cult 1975 film 'Jaws' from a style perspective. The piece proves very interesting and incredibly acurate.

Milan_SS12: McQueen





Three seasons into her position as Creative Director of Alexander McQueen and Sarah Burton appears to be sitting comfortably in the Master's chair. On the back of two beautiful, well crafted menswear collections, the S/S 12 collection showcased at Milan this week was a continuation of form for Burton. The McQueen aesthetic is still there, the british quirkiness, the sharp tailoring, and the translucent sense of macabre and destruction. Yet I feel Burton is beginning to find her own signature with label.
The collection conjures up references of 70's Glam, Let It Bleed era Stones and even reminded me in parts of Dior Homme under Hedi Slimane. The tailoring was as exquisite as ever, even visiting the realms of the Nudie Suit, to great effect.

:Protection

'Protection' by Massive Attack, 1994. Rediscovered Massive Attack recently and has been a permanent fixture on the playlist. Excellent video too.

Linna_Muuseum








While in Tallinn I decided to take a look at this collection celebrating Estonian photography during the 19th and 20th Centuries. I was naturally attracted to the details, styling and dress of the subjects, which were often quaint and beautiful.
