At London Collections Men: 2nd Day

This picture got my shutter fingers in an all time high at London Fashion Week.
I was truly trigger happy and as low as I stooped or as close I got,I never got enough of this MUST HAVE accessory this Fall Winter 2012.

Alexander McQueen RTW 2012-13 showed us these dramatic visors on the runway and then of course Anna Dello Russo endorsed it and Tommy Ton shot it..so it was bound to trickle down to most stylists and hold behold here it was!

If you all remember the textured tights post last month was a part of this look! Updating more pictures of the complete look as promised.

Also attached are some editorial and detail shots from the show.

The Vintage Fashion Fair was actually inspiring to be in, since I had just come back from Paris after an inspiration/research trip for my day job, and this was the cherry to the icing.

The simplest way to go vintage is, dress up your “votre tête“.

You saw a lot of Head Dressing, since Batiste, had a stall where they churned out masterpieces of vintage Hair do’s on the public.

That is where I spotted this talented hair artist with the Orange Hummingbird on her head.Rest as we call was history.

Style Tip: Huge on WGSN trends is the scarf around the head.Go for the bright colours for the oomph.

And it is on everyone else’s!

The new Spring accessory is out and people are not shying away from flaunting their collection.Yes ladies and gentlemen, we are back in that era, where people would not step out of their house without a head-gear, be it a beret, a fedora,or a simple bow to go along with the flirtatious Day dress.

The beauty about London is that you can see all this inspiration, while you walking down the Sunday market with a friend, and you say, “oh my god, I have to click that Hat”, and it turns out to be a millinery wearing her own piece!

Well, I must admit, I was embarrassed when Victoria Grant told me she was Victoria Grant, and very politely agreed to let me be trigger happy, while she was relaxing in the sun, but well it gave me enough inspiration to write this post.

As luck would have it, I was to meet yet another budding Millinery KC lake, whose work was featured in my previous blog “Yohji Yamamoto and His friends“, very unknowingly. And then I saw the website ,and  I was stunned. There are some beautiful pieces which you could wear down the high street, or to a wedding, or simply to your girls lunch, just to be the envy of everyone’s eye.

Unfortunately, I could not meet KC, so I take the liberty of showcasing the latest Spring collection from Ms. Lake’s website.I have promised to meet KC soon, and hope I can show you all some more of her artistic pieces.

I love this piece from KC Lakes latest collection.

If this was not enough, I met yet another millinery at the Spitalfield market, Rachel Black, who uses natural Fabric like Sinamay to make some very interesting everyday clips and hair-bands.

I was very inspired by seeing the work of these 3 talented women, with their distinct styles, yet glamorous enough to be awed!

Here are some street shots of my obsession with head-gears, needless to say I have started filling my Pandora box with a few while this trend is on, and I need something to wear at the Royal Wedding

I love the blue streak complimented with the flower pin.

I think I made him chuckle, with my Gasp and Squeal, both at the same time!
