>> Along with seemingly EVERY media outlet out there, I too have not escaped from a poorly constructed title, which infers to that phenomenally successful book, which we shall not name. These photos were taken when we were crying for sun back at the beginning of summer, weirdly fitting for Helmut Lang's A/W 12-3 stormy collection of tree prints, hellfire reds and their now-signature leathers and draped pieces. They've just launched their Guest Blogger's Series with myself, Street Peeper and Chic Muse being the first guinea pig participants. I took a few of my favourite things from the collection and they all somehow fitted in with the tinges of grey that my N7 hood is most capable of projecting. Holloway Road doesn't do pretty save for the Thierry Henry statue outside the Emirates Stadium. It does kebab shops, Gooner pubs and grafittied squat residences - all good spots to be wearing tactile bits of fur-collared leather, draped silk and jersey apparently as well as the pre-requisite puffa jacket.
