Obscure Couture by Lyndsay Pagan




Spotted this vision of colour on Sauchiehall Street and had to get a pic, she was mid phone call but kindly obliged. Then her Mandors fabric shop bag got the better of my curiosity, turns out she's Glasgow based fashion designer Lyndsay Pagan. Inside the bag, only caught a glimpse, was an explosively coloured piece of silk for her next commission. Loving those knee high hose.

These musicians were playing absurdly quietly...






Love the hair, cooler than Alice Dellal's







Cretan national costume's never looked so Comme Des Garcons.

Cardonald Fashion Show 2009


Thursday night was the Cardonald College End of Year Show '09 at Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket. Took lots of pics so here are my favourites from across all the collections.

Not normally a fan of tartan at Scottish fashion shows but this totally worked, Bay City Rollers ripe for some plundering me thinks.




Have recently been wearing trousers just like these in charcoal silk crepe, much to the bemusement of some, feel totally vindicated now.

Barbie does Diana Ross....Love this crazy confection of a dress....On first impression it defies good taste but is actually quite over the top in an avant-garde way. For this years Oscars, stylist Rachel Zoe tried to put Jennifer Garner in something very similar, the star chickened out and went for black instead. 

(And here's Rachel having her assistant try on the dress intended for Jennifer Garner.)

Lots of Gareth Pugh-esque monochrome.


These neons looked amazing and the dungaree/overalls reference was bang on.






I don't do uniforms, but if I did, (and we were in a galaxy far, far, away) I'd pick this one.  " I will take you to our leader...Pam Hogg is our leader"..... 

Rick Owens would be proud.


^ Play this short film to see a blast of the show, you gotta love those first years! In my day it was canteen tables tied together and 'Pump Up The Jam' on a loop, but that's progress for you.

Sunday Strolling




I saw this adorable couple on Sunday morning while walking the dog but didn't have my camera, so when I spotted them again later that afternoon, I got my picture. They looked so happy and I love how they quite subtly echo each other's style.
