Muse Monday: Londoners

This week's Muse is dedicated to the British girl. Obviously, the Olympics have had my head completely in London, so why not jump on the band wagon. Especially if it's headed across the pond. Featured are House of Holland, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, and of course, Dr. Martens. All pretty essentially British. I only wish I could have put some British food in the set, then again, I don't want to deter anyone. So this set is mainly dedicated to the Brit girls that come to mind, like Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, and anyone else that you can think of that makes you want to have some cool British accent. I reported a while back that I thought the Americana trend would be put to an end by the Brit trend, I featured a ton of Topshop with it also. It seems my prediction is headed into the right direction. I've been seeing a ton of Union Jacks where the American flag used to be. I guess we'll just have to wait until Fashion Week in September to decide who will really take over.

Osman Yousefzada

Christopher Kane

Burberry Prorsum

Topshop Unique

I absolutely love London Fashion Week. I wish I could add more designers and their amazing, off-beat collections, but I'll keep it to my top 5. Most of the designers here are quite known, well, extremely known, but Osman Yousefzada is one name that you might not recognize, but his collection was probably my most favorite out of all of LFW. His collection was absolutely church-like: draping reminiscent of a nun, brocades that look like stained glass windows.....absolutely amazing. Check Osman Yousefzada out, he's definitely worth a look.

Muse Monday: Francois Hardy

Francois Hardy by sheebanna featuring leather shoes

This week's Muse in French songstress Francois Hardy. The iconic singer rose to fame in the 1960s with her sweet, lush songs and her innovative style. She is the epitome of French dressing with fur coats, little black dresses and classic trench coats. Nicolas Ghesquiere references her as an influence, Bob Dylan wrote a song about her, and this is our week's muse.
