London Fashion Week, Spring '09: Bring on the Quirk

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

New York Fashion Week ignites some trends, but it's in London where the envelope is pushed beyond the limit. Take, for example, Giles Deacon's Pac-Women. London Fashion Week is nearing completion, but there was enough quirk to last a lifetime, or at least until next season. While overexposure started in New York, the king of quirk, Henry Holland, took the concept to a whole new, playful level. Proceed with caution.

Fall Glimpse: Mad Plaider

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Log cabins. Maple syrup. Grunge. My 21st birthday D&G dress. These are all a few of my favorite plaid things. While you probably already have a plaid item in your closet, or your boyfriend's closet, plaid has gone a bit mad for Fall. Consider an Edwardian jacket and pants a la McQueen, a tucked and pleated dress at Thakoon, mismatched and buttoned up at D&G. But my favorite is the slightly punky, paired with gray tights anime-looking Luella girl (left). She may look a bit mad, but whether it's tartan, glen, or buffalo, it's the shape of plaids to come.

Talk about having roommates in high places. Henry Holland, designer of House of Holland, and model Agyness Deyn, once shared a living space. Like most house mates, the duo had their share of quarrels. "Aggy (Deyn) and I used to fight over each issue of Vogue [UK] when we lived together. We used to daydream about when she made it in to the magazine. And now she is!" It's no wonder the bleach-blonde model supports Henry and his funky designs. Fashion best friends forever!

The Look For Less: House of Holland Fashion Groupies Tee

Remember when these House of Holland Groupie Tees, $75, were the buzz of all the fashion circles? Given the neon colors and witty phrases like "Get Yer Freak On Giles Deacon," it's easy to see why! They're definitely punky, funky and great conversation starters. But why so pricey?

If you're h-o-t-t and you know it, get this Forever 21 Hot Tee, $14. Although the phrase isn't the same as the tees from House of Holland, the motif is spot-on: oversized tee, big, bold letters, bright colors...you get the picture. Buyer beware: do not wear this tee if you don't want to be noticed!
