Last week we were invited to the ‘Shwop Lab’ in collaboration with Marks & Spencers and London College of Fashion’s Centre For Sustainable Fashion. The purpose of the pop-up space at the Old Truman Brewery was to explore the future of fashion through a series of collaborations with the UK’s leading lights in sustainable fashion and design. The results…a collection of outfits made entirely from donated clothes and more importantly the ushering of a possible revolution in the fashion industry.

The Olympic games are just around the corner but while the world anticipates it’s arrival I simply await the arrival of the different apparel collections that will be conjured up as a result of its presence. Adidas have been sponsoring Team GB since 1984 however its 2012 that i’m more concerned with. Peep this new Tailored Team GB Sport Collection. The collection includes outerwear, fleece, polos, shorts and more, the offer comes mostly in the colours of Team GB’s red, white and blue and adorned with the adidas Originals Trefoil. The collection will be hitting the shelves of Adidas Orignals retailers soon.

Not long a ago I introduced to you CJG (see here) the new shoe line to be sold at Topshop designed by Chloe Green. Thursday 17th May 2012 sees the launch of Chloe’s debut collection of shoes and the launch of her fashion brand CJG. May 17th is only round the corner so I thought it would be a good idea to showcase what it is you’ll be shopping for. Take a peek of her shoe collection after the cut. Girls let me know what you think. Will you be buying?

So I think it’s safe to say that I will be rummaging through the shelves of H&M this coming season. There are quite a few pieces in this lookbook that have got the stylist in me gagging. Fresh from being inspired by one of the freshest cats around @mrflyycampbell this lookbook comes at a time where my eye for fashion and putting looks together is at its most absorbing. By this I mean i’m learning and getting inspired by those around me which in turn is making me that more interested and excited by style/fashion. Suit jackets, turtleneck sweaters, chinos, tailored pants, and mid-thigh coats all make an appearance in this lookbook, with the Suit and the various ways it can be worn being very much a focus this  upcoming season. “The suit is the most important garment for men at H&M this fall, and it’s amazing to see how it can be worn in so many modern ways. Traditions mix with new ideas to build a new wardrobe that’s all about personal style.” words from head menswear designer at H&M.
