Street style - Military cloak

Yesterday, while wandering around Pure London I came across a stand within the "Young Talent" section and met Patrick, who was wearing this amazing vintage inspired corduroy cape.
Patrick is a designer from London, and he expresses his passion for fashion and urban life through his label Dabra
I love how he mixed an oversized cloak with plaid trousers, giving the outfit a "heritage" look. Quite appropriate for a freezing and rainy day in London.
He won't be getting cold these days.

Sister Jane - Parallel dreams

There are some brave people out there and Spanish designer Beatriz Deza has shown that she had the guts to leave her comfortable job in finance to start a completely new venture by setting up her own fashion brand: Sister Jane.
Her style is clearly influenced by her 10 years living in London and the clothes are inspired by the British look, mixed with some vintage ingredients. 
A touch of rebellious attitude against the fast pace of current days.
Sister Jane first collection was launched at Topshop, and now it can be found at Asos and in both department and independent stores.
The last collection is nostalgic and focuses on individuality. It reminds me of Sofia Copolla's film The Virgin Suicides and nonconformist Lux Lisbon. 
Crochet tops and high-waisted shorts.
Black and white lace dresses and silk blouses.
Fringed cardigans on paisley and floral prints.
An air of innocence, fire, and feminine power

Street style

I´m starting a new section of the blog to share with you the street style pics that I love most.
Because sometimes it´s hard to say what was first: catwalk or street?
This photo was taken in Clerkenwell Green, queuing for the Alexander McQueen sample sale.
She is wearing a scarf/pj print vintage dress, softly tied just above the hips with a black ribbon, and paired with cat like shades. 
A fresh face with a touch of rouge in the lips and hair tied up with a twisted hair band.
The sartorial hunting continues
