connan mockasin is the project of a new zealander, now based in london, who takes us on a ride with his psychedelic lo-fi rock. by accompanying his rather moody music with intriguing and colorful videos, he tells us a story and transports us to his imaginative realm. anyone can admit his high pitched trill is quite special. get lost in his surreal music videos (or short film, as this is 10min long), which are from his upcoming album, “Forever Dolphin Love”, to be released on march 28th.
milan fashion week was not my thing. im more of a london and new york gal. here’s graeme armour fw 11 which is essentially the best of both worlds, having shown in nyc in the past, and this season in london. im digging this clean futuristic, goth cowboy, im-a-boy-no-im-a-girl-actually-im-just-zorro look. leather frills, luxirare-esque cowhide and naughty but nice cutouts made these outfits. he definitely played it safe with all the black, but apparently the buyers are going nuts for graeme armour, having it be so wearable. meenal mistry of style.com put it best, “like sex, black sells”.
i never posted any photos from when i ran off to england in january. i arrived in london, ran into a girl from my school (such a small world), and was greeted by felicity gilbert- who is an excellent model. we hung out and grabbed some food to eat and then off to leeds i went. it was lovely being back in yorkshire. i got to visit my old house, city center (aka shopping!!!) and stuffed my face with loads of fish and chips, pastys, jaffa cakes, mince pies and ribena. after a week in leeds, back to london i went and then i spent the day with felicity’s brother nicky and had a crazy time. ran in to all kinds of different characters from italians to new yorkers to a homeless man selling jokes (we bought a few ha) to a mysteryman in heels clutching a massive water bottle posing in my photos and continuing on his way.. i didnt street style anyone because there was well dressed people everywhere and i didnt know where to start- so i just sat back and enjoyed my stay instead. the clothes i bought in london, i left at a bus stop- so sad! also- shout out to east london, i did not want to leave. i might possibly go back in a few months? x
