Inside-Out - The Official Topshop Blog

We saw this picture on Jak & Jil (one of our favourite blogs) and had to share it with you. At Chanel's SS10 show in Paris yesterday, Karl Lagerfeld rubbed fake tattoos on the models wrists. The chains remind us of the beloved 2.55 but fortunately, this is a way more realistic way for us to get our fashion fix. Thanks for all the great photographs Jak & Jil - Fashion Week wouldn't be the same without your great coverage! Now, where can we get a packet of these from? We're ready to fake it!

 

Brought this amazing Steven Meisel picture to mind! He shot it for a Vogue Italia Patterns story back in 2007. 

Trust Fun, Jonathan Zawada and Shane Sakkeus have a hell of a lot of experience under their belts in the art, fashion, and design worlds. Working as a team and based out of Sydney, their skill set extends beyond business cards, web lay-outs and accepting awards at Australian industry events! Under the umbrella of Trust Fun their talents have been employed to an extremely varied clientele, from record labels such as Modular Recordings, to major print publications like V Magazine or Dazed & Confused.

Recently snagging the joint title of Online Creative Directors for POP magazine, their creative repertoire is difficult to pen down; their one-of-a-kind digitally printed scarves have sold out within days at some of the worlds most exclusive luxury boutiques; their fanzine Petit Mal is the epitome of cool and loved by the style set; and their original concept http://fashematics.com/ is the toast of the blogosphere!

So we’ve teamed up with the boys to bring you weekly blog posts on Inside-Out! Here’s their first one, inspired by the amazing prints shown at London Fashion Week.

Saw this collage on Street Peeper and had to share it with you - just love it! Everyone's gone Christopher Kane crazy ... from his mainline gorilla tees to our crocodile vests and dresses, at London Fashion Week, they were a front row favourite! If you haven't already, get your Christopher Kane fix here ...

   

A big thank you to everyone who came down to show us their Topshop. The Style Advisors did a grand job styling you all up and we met so many brilliant people, and as for all the energy - loving that!

I'm very proud to announce that our winners are the lovebirds from South London, Sinnead and Michael. They look so effortlessly cool with their Topshop head accessories - her in a bow and him in a straw hat, I just couldn't resist.

KTZ are fast becoming one of London’s most exciting, cutting-edge brands and we’ve had an absolute blast hosting them in our Edit pop-up shop in our Oxford Circus store!

We headed down to their show to check out what the labels’ designers Sasko Bezovski and Marjan Pejoski will be bringing us next season. What we got was a tribal-high-school-futuristic collection that made us want to shop shop shop!

The show put a crazy futuristic twist on the classic preppy, prom and cheerleader styles of US high schools. KTZ love to play freely with proportion and structure and this season it was the fabrics and prints that were larger than ever – keep your eyes peeled for the vintage Versace print!

We loved the versatile footwear and the detachable leg brace boots and everybody fell for the pretty candy stripe pieces. Models sauntered out with cool-girl attitude, making even the casual pieces stand out!

Hair (by Lyndell Mansfield) was pulled back tight and styled into starbursts of plaits, and make up (by Andrew Gallimore) was metallic yet minimalist. The look was boosted with heavy brows and an even heavier attitude!

We love KTZ because they’re an underground label doing something totally different. They push the boundaries of city style to create truly cool, statement pieces for a youth culture that demands to be seen. It’s confident and brave and we all wish we were as gutsy as KTZ!
