Royal Mail - The Great British Fashion Stamp Set!

The Royal Mail Service just launched their latest theme stamp collection titled "The Great British Fashion Stamp Set."  A collection of 10 stamps featuring some British fashion greats like Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood, and Alexander McQueen, the looks were shot by photographer Sølve Sundsbø. 

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty obsessed.  Definitely picking up this collection next month when I'm in London for work!

Jas M.B. Spring / Summer 2012 Lookbook

You know that a perfect bag has a certain slouch when one puts it down that makes it just the "IT" bag?  There's just something about the way it sits that makes it so cool and so covetable.  For that reason, I've always been a big fan of British leather brand Jas M.B. for their updated utilitarian bags that have just the perfect amount of slouch.  

Known for their beautiful structure and practicality (read as you'll actually use it!), Jas M.B. have just dropped their Spring / Summer 2012 lookbook.   Here's what I'm eyeing.... 1)Hoof Large Stripe Cold Canvas tote 2)Folios and 3)the backpacks (the yellow one + the olive/black mixed media one)!

Should have bought more at their Taipei store when I was just there but there simply wasn't time.  Good thing you can find them online here.

Kim Jones Wins 2011 British Fashion Menswear Award

Kim Jones goes home with the Menswear award at the 2011 British Fashion Awards for his Spring / Summer 2012 collection for Louis Vuitton.  A very productive and challenging couple of years for Kim Jones, having taking the lead over at Dunhill and now at Vuitton (under Marc).  Can't wait to see what he'll do next.  Congrats!

Side note:  seeing people win fashion awards really motivates me.  Can't wait to do great things too in the world of fashion.  To make a difference...wow!  So inspirational.
