</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Being a member of the LGN Events team, I shouldn't morally have any favourites, but I am really looking forward to seeing what this young designer brings to her first ever London Fashion Week event. Her MA graduate collection was met with huge praise from <a href="http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2010/02/let-the-maaaaaaa-action-begin.html">Susie Lau of StyleBubble</a> and other well respected online fashion commentators. She uses a very edgy, modern mixture of fabrics in her work and if her previous collection is anything to go by, we ca expect to see glitter and exaggerated structural tailoring in February's A La Mode. Excited doesn't even begin to cover it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Employing the use of a variety of fabrics and taking inspiration from her local surroundings (in LA) as well as Japanese style and Geisha girls, Rumple Munkeh is sure to strike a chord with the glamorous London Crowd.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Australian designer Cristina Nitopi is the last name to add to the bill for the opening night of Fashion Week on Friday 18th February. Her designs verging on the avant garde retain feminine elegance and promote a ladylike aesthetic. Cristina's family originated from Sicily and she combines her heitage with the modern fashion scene to create a truly luxurious feel to her collections. Her designs have been exhibited in New York, Dubai and Hong Kong to name a few and her presence at A La Mode will mark the designers first venture into the UK market. If her previous endeavours are anything to go by, Cristina Nitopi is likely to go down a storm at LFW.<br />

Award-winning Ukrainian label Bevza is the first name to list for Saturday's event. In her own words, <i>"Minimalism. aristocratism, simplicity, sensuality, accuracy are brand identity of BEVZA". </i>One of the top ten most popular Ukrainian fashion brands, the minimalistic image Bevza designs emulate will certainly be a hit with the crowds at LFW - especially given the 60s/70s influence and how fiercely on trend this style is set to be for the next couple of seasons.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Thrilled with the results of showing with LGN Events' flagship show, she is returning this season to wow the crowds again with her delicate, girly, slightly antique inspired collection. Spanning tailored suits to bloomers and corsetry, Belinda Liu is a label that knows no boundaries.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Croatian-born Brick-Lane based designer Vjera Vilicnik will hit LW for the first time this season. She has already taken her designs to the Mayfair Catwalk Show and has secured a sponsor from her home country, but this will mark the beginning of a whole new era for her designs. Classically trained in the art of embroidery, Vjera makes good use of her professional education and employs a modern spin on a very vintage method of design. Her collections obviously emulate her heritage but also take inspiration from her current surroundings in the hip, vintage central on London- Brick Lane.<b><br />

She is a champion of the female form and is eager to show the UK market that you can still wear elegant, floaty fabrics and show off a beautiful figure without hiding behind dull colours or ill-fitting designs. Dima Ayad is a master of drapery and knows exactly where to place a hitch or a hem. Her collection is eagerly anticipated by the whole of the London fashion scene and has already received a number of previews on various womens fashion sites.<br />

Ugandan designer Gloria will be providing the A La Mode event with a culturally divserse collection which takes inspiration from the designers African heritage. The company was only established in 2009 and is already hitting the runway at London Fashion Week. Previous collections which she exhibited at 2010 African Fashion Week have explored structured shoulders, bright, vibrant colours with bold silhoutte prints and the full range of skirt lengths meaning this collection will suit every height, shape and size. Perfection!!<br />

LA based designer Alana Hale has already dressed American Idol judge Paula Abdul and her shoe designs have been spotted on Keri Hilson, so it's a safe bet that her presence at February's A La Mode will attract some of London's tele icons! Her collection is modern and youthful, employing feathers, leather and netting to give a cutting edge appeal to her work. <br />

German label and brainchild of Louise Walleneit Birthday Suits will be gracing the A La Mode catwalk in February. Her collections incorporate an unusual combination of fabrics such as faux hair and silk, creating a very soft yet artistic aesthetic. In her own words, <i><span style="color: #333333;">"the ideas and products of birthday suits develop in a transdisciplinary space between fashion, art and research." </span></i><span style="color: #333333;">which provides a great prospect for those attending the event in February</span><br />

</a></div>So the pairs come in packs of two in some very spunky colours! I personally love the bright green - very fetching and adds a splash of colour to an outfit - and the white pair balances it out for more formal occassions.<br />
<br />
My model, Mr Picky, is not one to wear just any old knickers and he likes to know he will be supported from all angles in his pants. He loved these Fruit of the Loom pants and has informed me he will definitely be purchasing them in the future! He loved the colours and the size and shape and was delighted by how sturdy and comfortable they were. The waistband has a subtle imprint of the logo which he liked as it meant they were not plain but was not glaringly obvious branding like certain other brands or pants. My model gave these pants 10/10 all round and is now pestering me for tickets to the show for more! Cheeky beggar....<br />
<br />
<br />
Fruit of the Loom pants (which also come in womens designs) come in a wide range of colours including Black and Pink, Blue and White, Stripes and ed and Black.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Hi Maria! To kick off, can you tell us a little about how you set up the Rehmali brand and what inspired you to become a designer?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">At a young age I did not know what I wanted to do, going through college and university, I noticed that fashion was always a big topic more than your final year exams!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">Everyone I had noticed had a unique dress style, I knew then I wanted to apart of this culture.<span></span> As I was always complimented on the way I had always pulled together an everyday outfit<span>, </span>I decided to go into styling.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;"><span> </span>I started to style in a major well-known fashion retailer as a personal stylist; I had many customers coming in through the door from the wealth and fame to just everyday professional customers. They were all seeking my knowledge and expertise in creating a lifestyle for them in the way they would like to been seen in the public eye.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">My own creativity to design has come from my clients. There was always something wrong with a cut of a garment or not liking a certain aspect of an outfit etc, so I decided to take evening classes and increase my knowledge of fashion design. From this I had started my Rehmali label.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">How exciting! So whose style do you admire?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">I don’t have a certain style that I follow but I feel that Oliva Palermo has a great trend sense and a great fashion eye. I admire people who don’t have stylist and can pull garments together themselves, and this is really fashion!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #e36c0a;"><span style="color: purple;">But I do admire designer such as Armani as his a great talent and a believer in his creation</span>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">As my designs are very vintage Hollywood but with a modern twist and a hint of film festivals, I would like to dress Sophia Lauren and Audrey Hepburn. With regards to modern celebrities I would like to dress Victoria Beckham, Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox as I feel that they do still carry on the old Hollywood glamour. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Your designs are very classic - how would you describe the “Rehmali woman”?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">The Rehmali woman is a powerful, strong minded woman who knows what she want and goes for it, She is very diverse and unique and stands out from the crowd - and always looks fabulous!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">In 5 years time I see Rehmali will have on-schedule fashion shows in and out of Europe, also I will have opened stores either in or out of Europe....... </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;">But it does not stop there!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple;"><br />

</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>You use an awesome mix of fabrics in your work - I love the combination of hessian<br />
with leather! How do you find which materials work best with each other and what are<br />
you planning on experimenting with for your next collection?</b><br />
<br />
The materials that I use each season depend very much on what has inspired my work and<br />
the effect I want to provoke. I find it interesting to work with material that are unorthodox<br />
or foreign, those with a purpose perhaps more commonly associated with something other<br />
than clothing; or materials that we don’t get to see used very often - used in an unexpected<br />
way. It’s more exciting because it’s about discovery and the unfamiliar. I’m currently more<br />
inclined to choose fabrics that oppose each other in their qualities and characteristics. I love<br />
to choose fabrics that look would be perceived as awkward together when in conception,<br />
but combined in a configured way really work for each other. I love leather at the moment<br />
because I’m finding it so versatile and dynamic and amenable to the ideas that I have. For my<br />
next collection I am continuing to work with leather but with new twists!<br />
<br />
<b>What has been the highlight of your fashion career so far and what are you looking<br />
forward to?</b><br />
<br />
I would definitely have to say the shoot for my first collection ‘Scope of Time’. Although<br />
I have been much more excited by more recent things, for me when you actually see your<br />
clothes work as a piece of art for the first time....apart from in your imagination that has to be<br />
the strongest memory.<br />
<b><br />
I love the dolls arms on your SS11 collection! Where do you get your ideas for the<br />
prints you use?</b><br />
<br />
I took imagery from looking into the lives of Mexican families and the composition of<br />
alters that they display in their homes. The alters would appear chaotic but seemed very<br />
beautiful to me at the same time. Many of the alters are juxtapositions of items such as family<br />
memorabilia, a white horse, dolls, cords, religious paintings and even sweet corn. I became<br />
particularly interested by alters that were present in the home in memory of children that had<br />
died. They would be filled with dolls of all description in various outfits, some bigger and<br />
smaller than others. I was fascinated by the interesting spaces shaped in-between the dolls<br />
which was what led me to experiment with porcelain dolls arms for my print. Much of the<br />
colour palette was inspired by the state the walls had been left in the home during various<br />
hurricanes. The hessian I used in the collection is a fabric that plays a great part in their lives<br />
used as table clothes, clothing and even as bags for collecting sweet corn.<br />

Yes, I do wear my own designs, all of the items I design I resonate with. Sometimes part<br />
of my inspiration is thinking about what’s not out there; or what is, but improved upon or<br />
expanded upon (subjectively). I think that although it is important to know your market,<br />
having enthusiasm for a garment you would love to wear yourself brings about a much<br />
stronger piece.<br />
<br />
I think that style is a continuous evolution so if I was to attempt to categorize my style<br />
it would be an inaccurate description very soon. For the moment I would say I am quite<br />
unbounded and flamboyant, how I dress communicates who I am from day to day.<br />
<b>Whose style do you admire?</b><br />
<br />
I love Iris Apfel, her style; attitude and vision are so unique; she is one of a kind and totally<br />
exotic! I also really admire Francoise Hardy’s effortless elegance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Flik Hall moved to London following her school years and moved into Hackney soon after. She enrolled at Central St Martin’s college where she pursued her options, and quickly developed her curiosity in fashion design. Flik Hall discovered and developed a love for print design in particular. She then left college to take placements with various designers such as House of Holland and Giles Deacon, where she engaged in all areas of the design studio. During her time there, she began setting up her own label. She launched her first season SS10 “Scope of Time” soon afterwards.<br />
Flik Hall’s work is brightly hued where the garments movement and print takes centre stage. Employing a wide range of prints nothing is quite what it seems in Flik's work where contrast is key. Flik’s SS11 collection, “Mannequin Parade”, is a showcase of Flik’s signature aesthetic of bold silhouettes and captivating prints.</span><br />

(Apologies for the delay with this post to those of you who were expecting it sooner!) Below are collages of some of the items in each store's sales with ratings (out of 10) which rank their:<br />
<br />
- <b>VARIETY </b>- The amount of different lines and items in the sale<br />
- <b>PRICE </b>- The size of discounts applied to goods<br />
- <b>QUANTITY </b>- The size of the sale as a whole<br />
- <b>OVERALL </b>- A mark for how good the sale was based on how much I wanted to buy (or did buy!)<br />
<br />
Let me know if you bought anything from any of the sales this year, personally I was quite disappointed! <br />

A number of Meadham Kirchoff dresses and Marios tops made their way into the sale along with a few other designer additions to Topshop's offering. The pricing of the goods was on the whole reasonably low. There were substantial discounts off of a lot of items including dresses reduced from £160 to £50 and tops down from £240 to £100. The sale was however, unfortunately, not to my taste and included a lot of very bland mainstream items. In the past I have been amazed at the amount of cool, edgy pieces left in the sale but Topshop was a tad disappointing this time around for such styles.<b> </b><br />

</b><br />
Overall, I have to say, ASOS sales always get me, and this was no exception! I bought myself a nice couple of tube skirts, one with an awesome galaxy print (see outfit post coming soon!)<b>. </b>The sale is always extensive when it comes to this site, they have a huge offering that far exceeds that of any of it's competitors and that goes some way to explaining why the sale is always so big. The prices, however, are not huge reductions. Pieces which were originally reasonably cheap, (which is what ASOS started with all the years ago!), will go down to tiny prices but if you didn't want to pay a rather miniscule price for it beforehand, why would you pay now? The designer items come down so far but not far enough for some of us mere mortals. They must be congratualted, however, on their ability to provide such a huge variety of items and styles to suit all budgets and images. Their delivery system is also impeccable with a great support base who are very vocal on social networking sites, making you feel certain you can sort out a probem should one arise.<b><br />

I love this quirky jewellery and accessories brand and was very pleased to find that they were holding a fair sized sales for their considerably small range. A couple of the items included are event or phase related items (such as the fireworks) but they are largely interesting, valued, quality items so I was very pleased to come across this sale! Most of the prices are discounted as half of the original price which for a brand whose products on average tend to cost upwards of £20, is very good. I only wish the name necklaces were in the sale!!!!!<br />

I could have done a couple more reviews but generally the brands I shop with beyond these are more niche market so perhaps next week I will do best of the rest in the alternative sectors. Let me know if you think you'd appreciate that! I also wanted to limit it to brands I deal with as I wouldn't want to promote the services of a brand which I had not dealt directly with myself. I have had good experiences with all the brands reviewed here and will happily shop with them again in the future...(perhaps the very near future seeing as I've just been scouring their sales!!!)<br />

Clasically trained at the prestigious Ecole Lesage, Vjera takes traditional embroidery methods and incorporates them into modern tailored designs.She's a lovely person and is truly one to watch in fashion...<br />

Serious.) I just thought I would take the time to compile a little menswear post as I have recently noticed the lack of published material for the alternative young man. Jake (the BF...if you follow me on Twitter you will have heard of him. Big guy. Good cook.) wears a lot of the stuff I would so love to work if I were a boy and I noticed he never has a decent place to browse for all the stuff he'd like. Sure he can visit all his usual haunts (most of which will be linked below) but wouldn't it be nice if he could get them all in one place? Maybe I'll start something.....but not today. So here's a smorgasbord of shit we like. Enjoy :)<br />

I travelled up to Notting Hill and posed in, incidentally, the same alley I did the <a href="http://showmeyourwardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/07/sarah-warman-fashion-assistant.html">show me your wardrobe</a> shoot in...that lady sure loves the back alleys!

She's an inspiring designer who believes that the female form should be championed, not scrutinised. Her pieces reflect this and accentuate assets whilst concealing lumpy bits! Pretty sure her work will appeal to the majority of us girls...AM I RIGHT!? Before I get too Oprah, here are the results of when I sat down for 5 minutes of interrogation about her upcoming collection and what inspires her...<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Where do you get most of your inspiration?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It really does vary, sometimes it’s an emotion, other times an artist. Some of it stemmed from my mother’s vintage wardrobe or what I distinctively remember her wearing when I was growing up. The autumn-winter collection was inspired by defined lines – triangles. The power of 3 comes across a lot throughout the entire collection. Sharp, metallic and striking. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>What prompted you to start your own fashion label? </b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Ever since I was 20, I used to design my own eveningwear based on the lack of evening dresses that suited my liking. I wanted them to flow effortlessly, and I wanted them to accentuate my assets and hide my wobbly bits. That was a challenge and the prices of the gowns I did find were extortionate. After a few years, many would ask where I bought my dresses from, and when I said I designed them they asked if I could help them design and oversee one of their own. This extended to my family and friends. 10 years later, I decided to give this fashion thing a go, and here I am!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Describe the person you are designing for? </b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsaZkBcTCt8V8ZNhgrZW7EMyF2JbfAQCXfvPvF9cwsTv019luDo4LN0lDi-HIgd7QItyrNFDoFq5re4JPyouskMwuF_LjjpjiNmqWll7uf-HGVLfRazABAa8DI9064E_c80UWGyHKXiQ/s1600/christina+hendricks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsaZkBcTCt8V8ZNhgrZW7EMyF2JbfAQCXfvPvF9cwsTv019luDo4LN0lDi-HIgd7QItyrNFDoFq5re4JPyouskMwuF_LjjpjiNmqWll7uf-HGVLfRazABAa8DI9064E_c80UWGyHKXiQ/s320/christina+hendricks.jpg" width="273" /></a><b> </b></div><div class="MsoNormal">She’s urban, a city girl, has a full time schedule, doesn’t stare at the mirror for too long, wants things to fit without having to starve before she wears the outfit. She’s always on the go, and effortlessly elegant. She doesn’t wear too much makeup, and believes that simplicity does stand out. She likes the dress to speak for her. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Which celebrity would you love to see wearing your designs?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">They’ve become a few. Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Christina Hendricks. These actresses feel real both on and off screen. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>What has been the high point of your fashion career so far? </b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Calls and e-mails from women who wore pieces from my collection, who’ve told me stories that boosted their confidence, made them feel beautiful, and e-mails asking when the next collection will be released! Recently I received a call from a lady who called me to say that thanks to 3 of my dresses for her sister’s wedding occasions, she felt wonderful, comfortable, and she stood out of the crowd. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Where do you see your designs in 5 years’ time?</b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">I see them in various department stores around the world I hope. I see the collections evolving by slowly adding new types of garments into the mix as the collections go by. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>What are looking forward to most about LFW?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Wow, the experience to start off with. London is my favourite city in the world, literally. I spent my summers there since I was 3, and it’s now become my city for fashion, friends, inspiration, and relaxation. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Being with other peers who, like me, are up and coming, I’ll learn a lot from that. Meeting interesting people and seeing the value of brand Dima Ayad in the global spectrum of fashion, where I need to improve, and what it’s going to take to get there will such an eye opener. </div><div class="MsoNormal">And, that there will be one (or many) buyers in that audience thinking, “We like Dima Ayad.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>What advice would you give to other aspiring independent designers?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You’ve chosen a challenging yet utterly rewarding industry to be a part of. Don’t give up no matter what! If you believe in it, it will happen!!!!</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coming from a background that is not fashion-oriented, at first your confidence isn’t the greatest since other fashion designers have studied draping, mastered drawing, and lived and breathed this industry. Yet still, believing is seeing results of your hard work. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

These red velvet cakes made by my own fair hands were inspired by the amazing book <a href="http://www.hellocupcakebook.com/">Hello Cupcake</a> which I was given for my birthday after I made a Snorlax (Pokemon) and a ballet shoes cake :) I'm very proud of all my cakes but these polar bears are just TOO. CUTE. *proud*<br />

As I have studied in London, it may be that my designs are best tailored to the European market but I’d like to work globally as a London-based designer. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Where do you get most of your inspiration?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">Being a creative person I am constantly inspired. It would be a lie for me to give you an easy, straightforward answer on this. What has most inspired me up to this point is old Hollywood icons, renaissance art, wardrobes of European royalty throughout history and old world architecture. That’s just naming a few- the list grows everyday. My inspiration is constantly evolving and that’s what keeps the looks fresh.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

And when one of my mom’s friends, who was an amazing seamstress, offered to make me whatever I wanted to play dress up in, well that was the birth of my life of design. I designed fur and sequin cocktail dresses, tulle ball gowns and wild hats- not knowing I’d one day rework those very outfits for a runway show. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">After design school I worked as an assistant designer for about a year and a half and when I felt I had learned all I needed to, I branched out on my own. I certainly hadn’t learned as much as I thought I had but I wouldn’t change a thing. Having my own fashion label is all that makes sense… I can’t see myself doing any different.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Can you describe the woman you are designing for? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">The Alana Hale woman is fun, vivacious, sensual, fashion-forward, and confident in a way she doesn’t dress for anyone else but herself. These clothes are for innovators and most certainly no girl who wants to blend into the crowd. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Which celebrity would you love to see wearing your designs?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">Blake Lively would be the perfect poster-child for Alana Hale. She is the Alana Hale woman: She’s America’s fashion-forward sweetheart with such magnetism that everything she puts on turns to gold. I think Carey Mulligan and Alexa Chung have incredible style and would love to dress them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">And among the “Dream Team” would be Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Anna Dello Russo, and Daphne Guinness. They are on my all-time-best-dressed list because every outfit is impeccable and you can really tell they love fashion.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">So until Blake Lively wears your designs, what has been the high point of your fashion career so far?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">The highlights of my career so far have been when Paula Abdul wore a look from my Holiday Collection on the season finale of American Idol and when Rachel Zoe reportedly said she “loved my collection.” The American Idol finale was immeasurable exposure and for a brand-new designer a huge honour. Rachel Zoe is a huge force in the industry; she has such influence and style. I hold her opinion in the highest regard. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">What I see evolving within the next 5 years is the connection with my customer, to establish a bond and loyalty. I want my customers to know me and for me to know my customers. In 5 years time I also see the label’s recognition going up significantly, and to eventually be a household name. And lastly, I see the line going global. Within the next 5 years I want my collection to be available to the Alana Hale woman of the US, UK, France, Italy, Japan and Hong Kong.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Wow ambitious! What advice would you give to other aspiring independent designers?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5f497a;">No matter what critics say, stay true to who you are as a designer. An idea that has earned you criticism, can one day be the very thing you become famous for. I am a very strong believer in staying true to my vision. Conforming is the kiss of death.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Since graduating from London College of Fashion in 2010 with a master’s degree in womenswear, Korea-based designer Jin Joo Ma has had her graduate collection picked up by many stylists and photographers and has been dubbed<i> “an old meets new clash, culminating in a sophisticated and striking collection.”</i> Her designs displayed a unique style combining rigid glitter pieces and flowing feminine fabrics to create a modern take on power dressing. She described the influence behind the collection as “Mefale”; the ultimate balance of masculinity and femininity. She also took inspiration from ideas of escapism and self-defense, showing a real connection between her influences and their significance in the creative process.</span></span></div><div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">The widespread coverage attained for her graduate collection from respected online publications such as Susie Bubble and Mirror Error is expected to be repeated as MAJINJOO prepares for London Fashion Week 2011.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">MAJINJOO will be showcasing her latest work at the Charing Cross Hotel, Strand on Friday 18<sup>th</sup> February 2011 as part of LGN Events’ flagship off-schedule London Fashion Week show “A La Mode”. </span></div><div class="Default" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Marketing a line of clutch bags by the age of 9 and working for the family glove business at 15, she has always been surrounded by fashion. Following this she attended FIDM in Los Angeles and studied abroad in the fashion capital of the world, Paris, before returning home to work as an assistant designer for an LA-based contemporary womenswear company. </span></div><div class="Default"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> Alana started designing under her own label two years ago and recently launched her signature collection at her Holiday 2010 Fashion Show in Los Angeles. Having</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> dressed Paula Abdul for the American Idol Season Finale in 2010, Alana's collection has quickly become a favourite with celebrities and stylists alike. She is currently developing a jewellery line with ice-skating and fashion extraordinaire, Johnny Weir and is credited with "spot on creations that leave you salivating for more!"</span></div><div class="Default"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Incorporating feathers, netting, and leather</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> and using classic on-trend colour palettes, Alana’s work evokes the edgy glamour Tinsel Town is known for.</span></div><div class="Default"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Just like specialist website My Tights has everything hosiery-related, this site is dedicated to providing eveyrthing nail related from nail varnishes to nail files, hand creams to home spa goodies! There are a wide range of colours and brands of nail paint on the site including glittery and marbled shades and specialist products that prevent chipping or biting if you're into that (Yuck!!!). There's even a very handy nail studio to try before you buy. You choose your skintone and then try colours out on it to see what goes well and what would suit you. Genius huh? There are also collections of on-trend shades to easily get your nail fashion fix.<br />

The staff were some of the most delightful, refreshing and friendly people I have met in a while! They were so so helpful, eager to chat about the designers they stocked and proud to discuss their business. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area.....and if you're not, perhaps you should go there just to see it!<br />

All in all, I truly loved the store! I'm aware I'm gushing but I'd heard a lot about it and knew it would appeal to me as I am a true lover of up and coming designers, (hence I work in emerging talent fashion shows!). What they told me about their services for their designers really made me feel like they know exactly what they are talking about, they care and are providing new these talented individuals with advice and guidance on their collections.<br />

<br />
I've been pouring over some of my favourite jewellery designers lately and, being completely broke, I thought instead of creating massive debt for myself by actually buying any of these lovely, delicate, pretty things (sob), I would just blog about them and depress myself further! Good plan huh?? (I'm okay really before you start sending me links to the priory). So here are my current favourite jewellery brands...<br />
<br />
<u><b>TOBY JONES</b></u><br />
<br />
This Aussie designers incorporates eveyrday items into his largely silver based jewellery designs. This is an idea I can totally get behind, being someone who's fashioned earrings out of jigsaw puzzles and a necklace using nuts and bolts (maybe I'll show you one day.)<br />

Also, the photographic direction and styling has to have it's own mention, love the grungey nature of it! So refreshing compared to the normal pretty girl in a wind machine with her hands strategically pointing towards her neck...<br />

<br />
I only came across this designer very recently but her work is awesome and has already been snapped up by the likes of Gaga (or her stylists...) and Rihanna.<br />

<u><b>TINA LILIENTHAL</b></u><br />
<br />
I discovered Tina's work when I was browsing the boutiques in the Brighton Lanes shortly before my birthday this year. Boyfriend of the year bought me the CUTEST necklace which I have since (unasheamedly) names Cedric :) He's a little shite skull with a silver FREAKIN TASH! And he has lots of friends with other silver<u><b> </b></u>accessories such as an arrow through the head, grillz, a flower in his mouth and many others. Here are some of Tina's designs:<br />

Tina's got such an individual style the elements of which just seem so perfectly in tune, this designer clearly has sheer talent in styling and constructing her jewellery. I can't wait to see what she brings out next! Check out the rest of her designs on<a href="http://www.tinalilienthal.com/"> her website </a>as I haven't included every item in her range.<br />

I discovered this brand at a press day for Push PR. I'm not a massive fan of their glitzier stuff but in fairness, they do glitzy with more edge than most brands.<u><b> </b></u><br />
