V Day

For the past 2 weeks, London has been taken over by press days with lots of lovely folk in town, showing off their even lovelier wares. Most of the time, actual work gets in the way of these little visits and makes it impossible to check out everything but I made sure to pop into the girls at Berlin-based showroom Agentur V who have some of the most directional European labels on their hands. It’s a great chance to see the clothes up close - at the shows I’m usually distracted by celeb spotting, craning my neck to see who's made the front row.

The first thing that caught my eye was the exquisite mesh jewellery by Arielle De Pinto, intricately created to look like delicate cobwebs. Next on the list were the geek chic frames by Mykita, making me curse my perfectly fine eyesight. The warm and dreamy lookbook shot by Mark Borthwick had a lot to do with the love - lots of heavy fringed hipsters making the specs looks even more desirable. Carin Wester's purple velvet dress was another standout and then to turn the man in your life into some sort of avant-garde Jordan Catalano, Henrik Vibskov is the man with the plaid.
