Fash Factor continues…..Introducing the talented Lucy Rowland

People who know me will tell you I’m a handbag girl. I have too many to count & have actually been banned on more than one occasion from buying anymore…. So I had to feature a handbag from the FASH Factor.

Who: Lucy Rowland

Who?: A Fash factor accessories entrant from London College of Fashion.

Impressed: Absolutely....have you seen them!

Her aesthetic: Structured, technical bags with almost a sculptural element.

But if the explosive design of the Malachus isn’t your thing, (the “grenade” she entered), Lucy has created a gorgeous tote and satchel that really ask to be in my cupboard. So Lucy if your reading……!

The Malachus (grenade) LOVE LOVE LOVE

The Carabus.

Simple, understated & stunning!

The Magdalis

A'dore.

Fash Factor continues. Introducing Edward Finney....a name to remember!

Who: Edward Finney

Who?: A recent entrant into Fash Factor although he is not new to the fashion world. In fact his CV is almost as remarkable as his designs, McQueen, Galliano & Eley Kishimoto

Impressed? YEAH!

His aesthetic: The designer manages to balance luxury, tailoring & couture. Every piece is astounding, the detail, the structure…..

Readers remember the name Edward Finney, write it down, tattoo it on your arm, whatever you need to do because I can guarantee you that it will hold great weight in the future of design.

His Spring Summer'11 collection

Pure Genius! Who wouldn't want to get married in this? I do for one.

Autumn Winter'11 Collection

Those shoes!!!! No words.....

Adore the almost back to front look of this coat.

Oscar's anyone? I don't even need an excuse. I'd wear it anywhere & everywhere.

The dress Ed entered into FASH factor. I’m in LOVE with this outfit. The cut, fit & detail, its theatrical yet utterly wearable. Plus the shoes make this outfit a total knock out.

Grazia got FASH Factor! Want some of it?

Isn’t Grazia A-MAZING? They have launched "FASH factor". Hundreds or (more like) thousands of designers turned up to win the chance to have their designs shot for a DOUBLE SPREAD IN THE MAGAZINE!

Here are a few current fav's (they’re showing more all the time. So I’ll keep you posted)

Déjà vu. I’ve blogged about this talented man before. (click here) Fresh from GFW.

This look is bang on trend. Colour Blocking, stripes and bold (Prada-esqe) prints.

Total Winner!

Now I probably shouldn’t like this but…. I do! There is something extremely Giambattista Valli about it, non? The feathers, the luxurious rich jewel tones….stunning in a truly avant-garde way.

Isn't it similar? (To Valli's AW'09?) The designer obviously has great taste.

Love love love.

Sweet, simple, elegant in a midi length which isn’t too mumsy due to the peter pan collar…too cute and BANG ON TREND! I’ll order two!

The current summer staple= the leather shorts plus in the cutest cut SCALLOPED EDGES!

Manages to balance rock'n'roll with girly.

The queue at 3:15 the day BEFORE!
