When Uniqlo Calles...


Veteran designer Jil Sander was recently asked to design for Uniqlo and following in the footsteps of Philip Lim and Alexander Wang she accepted with alacrity. Sander's already much anticipated debut collection will hit the high street this autumn. However stakes will be high for her return after the German designer unexpectedly left her self titled label in 2000. With an opulent taste in fabric that even sometimes exceeds fashion's ready-to-wear standards, how will she coup working within high street budget ?

Browns Focus hearts Beatrice Boyle !


Fresh from Central Saint Martins illustrator Beatrice Boyle's sinister yet uber rock and roll aesthetic has already started to attract the attention of London's cool crowd. However, a recent collaboration with Browns Focus sees her work flying off the shelves ... in fashion form of course. The dishevelled darlings that grace her new t-shirts and vest top designs are said to be girls she has met and asked to model for her. Basic in shape yet severe in print there is no reason why they shouldn't be a sartorial hit. And at 45 - 60 pound honestly whose complaining !
