London: It's a collection that takes you to a dreamy summer nights' garden in Izmir, Turkey, amongst lemon and pomegranate trees. Jennie Barck reports. Differing from the general vibe of the collections at London Fashion Week, Bora Aksu conjured up a slightly wistful collection. It seemed to be nostalgic towards simple times when girls aspired to be flower crown wearing fairies, sitting in your grandmothers' garden with tea a...

Having worked at my internship at London Ethnic during LFW I got to walk around and see a bit of the streetstyle around the venue. As you can see most of the pictures they are quite blurry and seem to be taken in a rush which I think is an accurate picture to paint of anyone's time at LFW this year. Brewer street was busy, buzzing with photographers,...

Yesterday I felt motivated and ready to explore new hip areas. I felt like I was reborn in my brand new squeaky clean white Mango sneakers, my Absolute Vintage jumpsuit and second hand Missoni top. I was in an artsy mood and so I thought; what a perfect day to go out to explore the galleries at Gillman Barracks, and I wasn't wrong. A perfect back drop for...

I bring you the company tonle; a Cambodian based, truly ethical online shop that ships worldwide. This is a brand that not only recycled every last thread in their clothing, but also...

A few days ago my aunts took me to see the Anthology of Finnish Fashion exhibition at the Design Museum in Helsinki. I was beyond excited; finally something fashion related to do and see in Finland and I have always been an avid believer in Finnish fashion anyway. I just see so much potential in there with all the undiscovered talent, distance from the mainstream trends and impartialness...

Every year fashion and design students from universities around the country put up displays and shows exhibiting their final major projects. As this was my first year seeing an exhibition by graduate students I didn't know what to expect. However, the central Saint Martins foundation degree show didn't disappoint. A few weeks later I also got to see all of the fashion graduates portfolios at Graduate Fashion Week...

From yoga sessions to the global picnic at my high school to brunches with friends, the trip back to my asian home was everything I hoped it would be. Getting to wear shorts and tops again, seeing my cat, family and friends again and experiencing the swell nightlife of Singapore was everything I hoped it would be. I've never seen Singapore the way I did now; it used...
