aztec sunglasses
Ohhh i love Stereo Total and i love friday, so what bigger way to sign off for the weekend than sharing it with you ! Favourite Album has to be Musique Automatique...mainly because thats the one i've been listening to the most! But all the same despite the fact these guys are from Germany its made me come over feeling all French and creative! Whimsical! The excessive amount of Beechams i have been on may have added to todays madness but hey ho, thats life! So here is a little clip of this brilliantly terrible strange musical collective.... Im feeling like i should be in aztec prints, dark sunglasses, fag in one hand german beer in teh other hanging out with equally as strange individuals, sharing our love of Stereo Audio and all things creative. This i'm thinking should all be taking place in a brown styled bar in east london..of course! Suitably cliche..but i feel inspired...Poppy Cleopatra euro mash up night on the cards? Maybe not when i've come to my sense and off the drugs.
Before the show, as East London hipsters temporarily transplanted in the West End milled about drinking Champagne, we caught up with the designer/reality star.
Whats in store for your fall collection?
Its a lot of Aztec-y prints. I do custom prints, so theyre really fun and colorful. I have these wide-legged, kind of palazzo pants, as well as a more tapered version in prints and in solids. And then a lot of fun silky dresses that have print placement and blocking.
When you are creating your looks, who are designing for?
I think I design for myself and my friends and my sisters. I think about what they wear on a daily infrastructure and what they think they need. I do a little market research with them, like What do you want for next season? I combine that together with the inspiration I get from the travel I do.
What was your inspiration for this latest collection?
This lifestyle of the L.A. girl mixed with the New York girl, which is what I find myself being constantly. In terms of the color palettes and the prints, it was inspired by this trip that I took to Africa last October.

The other print that's been really strong this season is the good old Aztec trend – you'll have seen this certainly everywhere (and if you're a festival regular you'll probably be sick of seeing it). Aztec originated from Mexico and it's often used |

For the ladies, this season is also about power prints, pretty pastels and eye-catching Aztec designs; the new additions to the summer and holiday shop are no exception. A wardrobe essential is the return of the statement blazer with a gorgeous |
