Who knew that...
MEXX, a chain that popped up in the UK randomly in Covent Garden when I was about 15 or so, which turns ous to be a Netherlands-export selling office basics and not much else (well I have to scratch the head hard as it's been a while since I've been in one...)...
PLUS ++
EnD, a young Dutch label started by Eva van Overbeeke and Delia Driel that does quirky prints and playful shapes (see below)...
POWERED BY...
Dutch Grazia which apparently has been going for about six months and is basically what UK Grazia is but in monthly format and on nicer paper... EDIT - After a lovely interview with a Dutch Grazia journalist, I retract my ill-informed statements. It's been around for two years and is in fact weekly... it just has nicer paper than the UK one...
EQUALS=
A ten piece collection by EnD for Mexx powered by Grazia that revolves around clowns. A bit of a chunky and somewhat confusing equation there. Get that round your heads, those with insane mathematical skills (you can tell I'm bitter from being decidedly NOT mathematically gifted) Now of course, seeing as I have that predictable fear of clowns (who doesn't?!?) I was a wee bit freaked out by the make-up but the faces themselves on the clothes aren't so scary, probably because the menacing grin is abstracted and gone are the bloodshot eyes and congealing white make-up...
All in all, a rather odd mixture of parties involved that has turned out to be surprisingly successful..
