When I’m in London I always miss Paris.
But when I’m a vegan I’ll miss leather more.
Perhaps I’ll go to Le Marais in March and buy lots of vintage instead.

I love trade shows. There’s something very efficient about the measured little squares each trader takes residence in for three days (or however long the show is).
One of my favourites, Pure London, is coming up, which is a bit like Clothes Show Live but without the 14 year old girls looking for the make-over stand. Rather excited, but have a funny feeling it’s going to clash with the trial run of my own event for Lethal Models.
I would not have thought a year ago, scribbling in my WGSN notebook in lectures, that I would now be a little cog in the massive machine that is the fashion industry. Seriously can’t complain.
NB - WGSN is like God, dishing out the commandments long before Vogue, or even the designers, get to tell us what to wear.

Another day in the office…
Lethal Model Management are hard at work arranging an evening to celebrate London Fashion Week and raise money for UNICEF.
Very soon, our models will be showcasing upcoming designers in a glamourous London location, and we’ll be donating 10% of ticket sales directly to UNICEF - aren’t we…
My first regret of 2012 is not going to see The 2 Bears at XOYO on NYE.
My second regret is saying I’d take more photos, because last year I resolved to start this blog, and look how well that went.
There is however, something to be thankful for. This exclusive streaming of 2 Bears album. Time in Mind particularly appeals (I’ve did a lot of bad things/got busted now I’m fine) - a west country sound perhaps?
Who knows, maybe by next January I’ll share some photos too. I found the lens cap to my SLR today so things are looking hopeful…
You can wear a hula girl headband and spend your overdraft on Lambrini, but at the end of the day you’re still a student, you’re still going to be getting the nightbus in the cold, and you’re definitely still going to spend the following week up till 2am trying to talk about Lady Gaga in your (almost) overdue assignment. Again.
Happy Re-freshers!

A couple of days ago I braved the pouring rain and the overground to spend the day rummaging through dozens of vintage beauts in a studio in Deptford. It was like a fashion addict’s crack den. Myself and Theodor Stacey modelled the items, though Sam was also persuaded into trying out our Kooples/Burberry/Gap campaign looks.
The items are all available through Sam Wood’s store, check it out on eBay and Facebook:
