I'm a little tea cup.

When I checked out photos from Mary Katrantzou's recent show in London, I suddenly began to hum that cute little nursery rhyme "Im a little tea Cup short and stout...".... oh come on...you know the one...and Im sure you are humming it right now as you read this... wink.

But I couldn't help myself...these amazing looks reminded me of those dainty, gorgeous, hand painted, China tea cups... you know the ones our Grandmothers collect and store in cabinets... the ones that are so pretty and delicate we are afraid to use them. In the same way, these looks are so intricate and beautiful, I mean, we may not wear them day to day....but they sure are inspiring to look at. Be Inspired...

Ashish.

Ashish Gupta is the newest darling Designer in London, launching show after show that's seemingly making front rows stand up and take notice. A graduate of Fashion Design at the Central St.Martins in UK, Ashish has been developing his name among celebs over the last few years but this year its as if his pieces are being seen every where. The other day I added a photo of a Paris street style look to my blog thinking the girl was wearing an old vintage skirt...turns out it was one of his classic African/Bollywood glitter inspired items that are instantly becoming classic.
Ashish was born in India and now owns homes in Toronto as well as New York. I really love the attitude of the clothes. The girl who wears these clothes needs to be full of personality, creativity and quite frankly...comfortable with standing out in a crowd... LOVE IT.
These clothes remind me of the street looks of Tokyo...one of my favourite cities in the world:)
Here are my favs from the show...

Erdem.

Erdem Moralioglu is the latest Canadian invading the Fashion world. Montreal Born and raised...he studied Fashion in both Toronto (Ryerson University) and then after doing an internship with Vivienne Westwood...yes you heard me....he moved to London and studied fashion at the Royal Collage of Art.
