LET’S CELEBRATE!

On Wednesday evening, a few of us from Personal Shopping donned our gladrags and headed over to Belgravia for 10 Magazine’s 10th birthday party. Surrounded by the likes of David Gandy and 10’s Editor-in-Chief Sophia Neophitou, we were in absolute fashion heaven!

We had to stop and pap one guest for these amazing leopard shoes, which seriously channelled this season’s hottest print, and we had a whale of a time bopping under the world’s pinkest lights! Fashion spot of the night? None other than the Topshop Silk Tab Placket Shirt, seen no on no less than five of fashion’s finest.

CRAIG COLLABORATES

We always love to hear how the designers we sponsor through NEWGEN are doing, so it was a lovely surprise to find out that winner Craig Lawrence has collaborated with Soho concept store Machine-A on a collection of knits inspired by his past shows.

As he's usually known for his use of colour, this time he's decided to go black and gold. Expect to see fingerless gloves, laddered knit dresses and cute cropped tops, then get your purse out because everything's available to buy!

MAKIN' MAKIN JAN MA

Polaroids
You've heard of fashion going green - now the people behind clothing label and film project Makin Jan Ma have taken it a shade further with Benny's Club. Let us explain. Artist Makin writes scripts and stories, and as he's going he designs clothes for the characters in those stories. It's an ongoing, constantly unfurling project, the fruits of which are sold through his brand new London store.

Ever the innovator, his celebration of the new opening was nothing short of genius. On October 14th the first meeting of Benny's Club took place at the Makin Jan Ma shop on Kingsland Road. If you turned up on the evening with a plant that you'd grown, they would give you 15% discount for the year ahead, as well as a seed for you to nurture into another plant. How cute is that!
