A Fabryan Story: From London To Berlin And Beyond

A Fabryan Story In Pictures:

I was sitting in my  holiday flat in Düsseldorf thinking about bigger better things and not wanting to fly back to London when I received this tweet from Alice. I answered promptly and brokenly. ( I am much better now- thank you SesameStraße).

Miserable although not crying as last time, I forced myself to return to the UK vowing to find the cash to go back to Germany in 2 weeks. For BFW. For Fabryan. To film.

düsseldorf london gatwickThe money faerie did not come to visit me and it was a coscous month.  Faced with the blindly obvious, I wrote back but I could not conceal my disappointment- could you? My insides felt crippled and I bitched more about TFL than ever before!

What I missed.

But our story was not done yet, despite a few circulating texts between Alice and myself as I was going mental at Fashion Scout -a tribute to the coffee date we almost had.

And then I left London like Tina left Ike – you just gotta do this shit.

And so I wrote back to Samantha and she sent me the Lookbook.

A sex drenched synth ode to Deutschland.

Liebe Deutschland Mittwoche Post aka I love Deutschland Wednesdays

Beate Uhse was the founder of the world’s first sex shop and a German woman! #lovethisbitch

This is one of my favourite #schlager songs because it so cheesy and what a terrible aka great video!

 

Jule or Julia Neigel is so gorgeous and this is arguably my absolute favourite German song period. It’s about how Germany still has “shadows on the wall”.

Jane Doe Latex- Grand Eccentricity

In sea of latex designers, some stand out. Yes, we can all glue rubber but what seals the deal for me is the patterns. Have you ever seen a flamingo shirt before? Have you ever seen a flamingo design on latex before period? Jane Doe Latex excels at pattern originality and cut.

Besides, sometimes all you want to do is wear a  latex red dress and play the entire “Private Dancer” record and relish in your own divatude. “Be good to meeeeeeeeeeee and I don’t have no use for what you used to call the truth and you’d better be good to me….”

The Eroticism Of Fashion

I find the power to be had from clothing erotic power. It is irrevocably tied to eroticism. But for me the eroticism of fashion is subtle and more about fabric and form than showing skin. I think being overly fixated on trends is the anti-thesis of power. You should wear what turns you on or conveys what you want to say to the world.

What turns me on is a whisper vs. a scream like  the quiet eroticism of the lyrics of Mrs. Robinson ” We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files” or the Italian ankle boots in red leather a conservatively dressed woman wore on to the bus at 11am in Florence.

There’s nothing more important than how an item makes you feel whether it’s 99p or 9,000 – you are painting a self portrait with fashion everyday. But it is really a private moment between you and the pieces- existential, asexual and empowering.

Gummihandschuhe Seduction By Roberto Roto

Gummihandschuhe seduction. I think we can all be certain these are not your mother’s washing up gloves. Vampish eye make-up and the undeniable power of “gummihandschuhe” are better shared with friends, no? All this hotness and more by Roberto Roto.

London Fashion Week Press Coverage

London Fashion Week Press Coverage

I’m not going to lie to you…I set out to be shot. I went out there walking around Somerset house like a hooker looking for a date and hoping to make the press coverage. Fearing not being 17 and dropping baby powder out of my pants, I was stupidly pleased to be shot by a Japanese man with a style blog, some random people and then Grace Owen, who’s a presenter\videographer too!

This is Grace’s super well framed video (like you frame a shot).

After all this excitement, I retired back to the press lounge and got shot some more by some excitable Korean chicks and then I was over the moon.

Day two, I met Micaela Schäfer who’s a Playboy\top model from Germany being filmed by RTL and proceeded, aided by my friend Karen to get Micaela into her first catwalk show.

The Video is called  ”So haben sie Micaela noch nie gesehen”- which was one of the coolest things that ever happened in my German obsessed life!

You can watch on RTL here http://www.rtl.de/cms/news/explosiv.html

I’m also on a Croatian show hosted by Fani Stipkovkic called Red Carpet talking about bloggers.

Ps. Thanks to our friends over at The WOW Report and some serious sharing our day two video hit over 5,000 hits in 3 days!

Thanks Everybody,

Aurora

Nutcase Statement Rings

Lois aka  Bunnipunch was rocking on of these rings by Nutcase Fashion when I saw her. It’s  like playing dress-up for grown-ups only your mum’s shoes fit you now and these are the best oversized rings you’ll see on anyone this year potentially.
