Time-Traveller

If there were ever a model born in the wrong era, it'd be Abbey Lee. Of course Freja Beha Erichsen could give her a run for her money as she regularly looks as though she's time-travelled from the 80's, but Abbey's in a whole league of her own.


"Hey Abbey, the 70s called and they said they want their clothes back!" The furry coat seems to be a particular favourite of hers (although personally I think it looks like old carpet) as do the beaten lace-ups but all joking aside, its pretty refreshing to see a model whose clothes have personality.

I love black clothes, infact I rarely wear anythig but black (unless I'm feeling adventurous in which case I'll probably wear a red scarf or something) but if I was nearing on 6ft and had the pins of a super, I'd definitely venture into colour. Monochrome is just so....plain.


Of course there are the Sasha Pivovarova's, Magdalena Frackowiak's and Abbey's of the world and black is arguably the most practical colour for a model to wear, but it's so exciting when you get a hint of the real them. I'd like to think that Abbey is some free-loving hippy lass with not a care in the world, rather than a serial mourner or nun - god forbid.

I'd also like to think that she'd wear everything from this selection I've put together, not all at once of course - well she could but people might think she's on day release or something...


Severe apologies for the notable lack of newsworthy posts, it seems I'm not so great at time management as I once thought! What do you think, should models stick to the all black uniform or should they mix it up like Abbey? Also what is your favourite era? Mine used to be the 90s but right now I'm really feeling the 70's vibes, maaaaaaan.

Off Duty

Model street style - just one of the many perks of attending LFW. I'm getting a bit bored of the whole black leggings, black top, black boots, black bag, maybe the odd black fur - you get the idea. I'm hoping the cold winter weather is the only reason why everyone is being so boring at the moment (although having a serious aversion to colour, I can hardly talk).

Here are a few of my favourites from past and present, think of it as a teaser to the coming weeks.

Byrdie Bell


Dree Hemingway


Irina Lazareanu


Liu Wen


Sasha Pivovarova

I love Dree's hair and Irina's general look but I'm hoping the girls will step it up a notch this season. Abbey Lee looked perfect backstage at the Issa show (check out my photos here) so there's no excuse!

I'll be working backstage and hopefully be attending some shows again this season so watch this space for exclusive photo's, gossip and information during LFW.

Sasha Fierce

Sasha Pivovarova is one of my all time favourite models. Muiccia's girl for six consecutive seasons and ranked 2nd in the Top 50 Models list; she is so completely unique.

As the current face of H&M, Giada, Mulberry and Longchamp I wanted to share some of my favourite past editorials with the Russian goddess (and she literally is...). Enjoy!
