I’m a sucker for ripping out pages, printing things off, sticking them in folders and forgetting about them but I know they’re going to be useful someday and if I chuck them then I know that within a week I’ll need them.

Chris Ofili inspired shoes by WAH Nails and INSA
A few weeks back I blogged the Chris Ofili Exhibition at Tate Britain. By now Londoners should be well familiar as you’ll have noticed the posters all over the underground.
H.O.T oh yeah and the shades are pretty cool too
These are just cool. Shop them now in bitchingandjunkfood.com.
In case you hadn't seen, if you haven't then you probably shouldn't be shopping here, you won't like it.
Remember a few months back when I wrote that LA Fashion week is not on the priority list of Anna Wintour? Well, I got news for you. It should be.
Today I’ve had a really really really shit day, although I’m putting the final touches to our range for Urban Outfitters and that’s made me happy, all feathers and natural tones with a bit of crystal thrown in to feed my magpie urges. I think it might actually be the best collection I’ve designed yet.
Remember when boys were boys and girls were girls? No me neither, I think it was some time in ‘97, then we all got caught up in adrogyny – I’m as guilty as the next fella, girl? fella? I’m confused.
We went on the hunt to find a really cool, unheard of leggings brand for our BITCHY girls (and for ourselves too of course). Can I tell you it was a bit of a challenge. Considering leggings are such a staple we thought there would be dozens of leggings brands out there just waiting for us to get in touch. But they were pretty thin on the ground. We rolled up our sleeves, we persevered, we searched high and low, and we are very happy to say that we came up trumps.
We stumbled upon designer Sarah Claire and her lovely collection of mesh leggings “Dainty Things”. What a great way to wear leggings in the summer, with built in air-conditioning!! Wonderful. This small capsule collection ticks all the boxes for us:- cycle shorts – check, mesh – check, nude colour palette – check, knee pads – check! Now check it out in the store.
Heya, my name is Sharna. I am a designer that lives in Brisbane, Australia where the winter day time temp does not often get lower than 20 degrees celsius, although we think our winter is freezing………I know, I know right, who ever said an Aussie gal was tough. So in saying this weather really does dictate what you wear.
It’s summer in Australia at the mo so that means festival time. Today was all about Gold Coast Parklands, Good Vibrations festival, it was a wicked line up and a wickedly, hot day. Hot, sexy, chiquita’s a plenty and the order of the day were the 3 ‘S’s “shorts, sexy and see thru”. It was freakin crazy to see how many girls were sporting shorts of some form or another, mainly the faded, v.short, ripped denim kind. The girls pulled out no stops and you could feel the sass and love in the air.
Construction Jean AW10 - coming to bitchingandjunkfood.com
Something devastating happened over the summer. I ripped the arse out of my favorite jeans at Hackney Wicked festival. I’m a grown-up, things like this shouldn’t happen any more much like grazed knees(yup ticked that box again recently, a direct result of vertiginous heels over fashion week) but they’re gonners(the jeans not the knees). I loved them so much that I recently wore them out with black knicker shorts underneath, the hole gaped and they now resemble chaps and I still haven’t thrown them out(this doesn’t mean I’ll be wearing them though but this has started me thinking about chaps but more about that later).
Recently at LFW we got to whizz around quickly and one designer that caught our eye was Holly Fulton who was showing her first solo season at NewGen. It’s no surprise that in our hast it was Holly Fulton that grabbed our attention, her AW10 collection is amazing!
I particularly loved her range of accessories – the neckpieces are wicked, and the interesting thing is that everyone seems to interpret them differently. They have tribal elements yet have a techno edge to them as well, what a crazy combo right? And is it just me but can anyone else see Transformers in these neckpieces? To create these Holly Fulton uses acrylic plates with giant oversized crystals, leather straping and chunky dog-clips.
They work so well and not just if you’re a cute little pop star.
We were greeted today by three shiny copies(not one, not two, three, need to be specific ) of Sportswear Interntional. We were featured in “New blood” designers to watch shoot from the Jan/Feb edition of Sportswear International. We’ve lots more coming your way for SS10 and will be posting a preview of our Uni-sex label TWO WEEKS in the next two weeks.
