Miss Tipper
Dominique is an actress, choreographer and singer- what a jack of all trades. I love her electric shock hair which she carries off breezily. It’s a great style that’s guaranteed to add cool factor to any look. Dominique wears a vintage Levis jacket, leggings and jumper from Primark, t-shirt by Cheap Monday and Converse trainers.

Yunus & Eliza
This is Yunus Ascott: artist/jewellery designer extraordinaire and one half of the award winning Yunus & Eliza. I met him and his lovely partner Eliza Higginbottom at the Fashion East Mens Installations during London Collections: Men. Their fantastical jewellery and sculptural designs take influence from theatre and mythology to create beautifully innovative pieces. Take a look at their website here to see their work. One of their rings is already on my Christmas wish list…
Yunus’ Poseidon Ring
His charity shop boots are splattered in paint after he and Eliza cast the sculptural figurehead for the Royal Barge, the Spirit of Chartwell for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. What a royal mess!
The sculptural headpieces were on display at the Fashion East Mens Installations

Miles and his tattoos
Miles Langford has a pretty impressive collection of body art going on. And the kind fellow was more than happy to strip down to show me his tattoos. Lucky me. The New York based model from London has modelled for designers including McQ, Pringle of Scotland, Katy Eary and Diesel. Click here to read his blog.
When he’s not stripping off, Miles wears trousers by Acne, shoes from Clarks, grey top by Cos, t-shirt by Odd Future, a Lanvin necklace, and army jacket from a thrift store in New York.

Meadham Kirchhoff MW SS13
Meadham Kirchhoff’s presentation at London Collections: Men was a triumphant feast for the eyes. Floral arrangements, worn down armchairs, cigarette butts and bottles of pepto bismol adorned two rooms in a majestic period apartment. The set was a mix of post-party student flat meets English rose garden meets fabric shop. Models lay draped on unmade beds and perching on stools with painted hands, writing on their faces or covered in delicate chiffon masks. The collection was a mixture of loungewear and sportswear, with colour-pop trainers, printed shirts, woollen knits and delicate silks. Beautiful!
