They’ve got their first collection out. Not bad. More stylish than their plainish and grey ‘about’ -one-liner; “A men’s wardrobe made of stylized fundamentals to be customized in a distinct and subtle manner.”

I like very much the dresses this talented young designer is offering for this summer.

“Born in London and raised across Europe, Georgia Hardinge’s international background is interpreted throughout her work drawing on eclectic cultural references. Georgia’s style of moulding design techniques in order to create an art piece with everlasting purpose is the keystone throughout her collections holding firm in the belief that “the highest approach of art awareness is through fashion”.  SS11 saw Georgia’s first catwalk show at London Fashion Week”

Some nice ideas these two talented ladies have: “SUSAN BIJL MARIA JOBSE is a collaboration between Susan Bijl and fashion creator Maria Jobse. Due to their different backgrounds in the fashion and design profession both complement each other in a special way. Susan as a product designer, were product development and practical application are important, Maria from fashion by developing interesting products from a shape and pattern. Both have a strong sense of color, style, detail and form. Our style has sober and straight characteristics.

The new collection by Derek Lam makes a some sort of “I don’t know” -feeling in you. Like you dig it alright but it feels like somethings still missing. But is it just me or are the choises used by Lam a little bit too safe and obvious to shake the line? The 10 Crosby has his muse Hanne Gaby Odiele in frontline for the spring collection.
