20.01.2011- Rokit Designers Guild

I've written before about my absolute adoration for all things Rokit, and this month they are launching a really exciting project which, as well as nurturing new talent, pays tribute to the lasting appeal of vintage and classic design techniques. Rokit Designers Guild is an initiative established for new designers and craftspeople with a passion for vintage style to have their work showcased by one of the most reputable vintage retailers out there, as well as giving avid vintage fans like myself the chance to own one-off, handmade pieces which are either inspired by vintage techniques or created using recycled materials. And, with prices starting at as little as £6, the launch of this project really is an unmissable opportunity to own a genuine designer gem without breaking the bank. The range includes everything from jewellery to dresses, and if you're a massive fan of vintage like myself, is well worth investigating further. Here are some of my favourite pieces from the range:

This hand-made Alice band instantly reminded me of some of the costumes from Black Swan, with its beautiful beaded detailing and feather-like motif.

 This printed scarf encapsulates all things London.

This Bourbon brooch combines two of the things I love most- biscuits and cute accessories!

I can't wait to see more of the collection when it launches later this month.

What do you think of this initiative? Would you buy anything from the range?

19.10.2010- Lanvin pour H&M

Today were were given a tiny glimpse of what to look forward to from the Lanvin/H&M collaboration:

I looks as though Alber Elbaz is striving to incorporate as many Lanvin hallmarks into the collection as possible; gorgeous one shouldered dresses, tailored jackets and super cool styling. The full collection will be unveiled in two weeks, on November 2nd, before landing in stores November 23rd. If this first promotional image is anything to go by, the collection is sure to be H&M's most sought after designer collaboration yet. 

Do you like what you've seen of Lanvin for H&M so far? Are you excited to see the full collection?
