YVL_3840.450x675

The fashion set has crossed the pond and London Fashion Week is now in full swing. And so far the Sass & Bide Fall 2013 Collection has really made me smile. Designers Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton have always included great detail in their collections, but this time around the work felt more edited and… [Read More...]

Simone Rocha S/S 2013 Collection

Simone Rocha S/S 2013 (3)

Simone Rocha is a young designer.  In fact, this is only her 3rd solo showing at London Fashion Week.  The most common problem I see with young designers is a need to stand out.  Often the result of this enthusiasm is overworked designs that fail to come together as a collection.  But that isn’t the… [Read More...]

Burberry Prorsum S/S 2013 Collection

Burberry Prorsum S/S 2013 (5)

There are certain labels that I write about every season.  These tend to be design houses that have both a strong history and a cutting edge future.  Because of its rich British history and keen eye on the future, Burberry is one such label and I am excited to share the Burberry Prorsum S/S 2013… [Read More...]

Matthew Williamson S/S 2013 6

Oh I am sorry, did you think the NoH Fashion Week coverage was over?  Of course not!  After all, New York isn’t the only fashionable mecca.  London Fashion Week is underway and I thought I would start my coverage with the Matthew Williamson S/S 2013 Collection.

Who knew tweed to the knee could be cool?  Christopher Bailey, that’s who.  And with his Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012 RTW Collection, he made it undoubtedly known. There was a clear transition from the Pre-Fall collection as the knee length skirts and bow cinched waists continued to appear, but a shift to a younger aesthetic was made… [Read More...]

Runway To Room: London Street Style

Photo by Mr. Newton for Harper's Bazaar.

There is still time (Do you like the pun?!) to enter the ToyWatch USA Giveaway!   I can’t believe London Fashion Week came and went without me covering any of it.  Bad fashion blogger, bad! Well, I am looking to redeem myself now with another installment of the Runway To Room— London street style edition.… [Read More...]

Mr. Newton’s Neighborhood

Photos from "Harper's Bazaar" by Mr. Newton.

Mr. Newton is one of my favorites street style photographers.  And while I have always loved this genre of photography (cause I love photography and I love fashion- shocking, I know), it is his blog that has inspired me to do some street style here on North On Harper (now you have something to look… [Read More...]

So London Fall Fashion Week 2011 came to an end yesterday, and while I didn’t follow it as closely as New York (blame it on exhaustion!) it does deserve a recap.  I love British Fashion, it has a quirkiness that says, “Yes, we’ve lost our empire, and our weather is questionable at best, but we… [Read More...]
