If it stops being fun there won't be much of a House left

I am a Henry Holland girl. Straight up.
Gavin Watsons, punk youth photos have inspired a uniformed skinhead/punk aesthetic for House of Holland Spring/Summer 2012



These are some of my favorite looks from the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalk














This season Holland also introduces his own brand denim (he has only ever collaborated with Lee in the past) and I recks it will be tres successful, smart move. I love the bleach splattered ones from this collection, which give a fluffy cloud effect, super cute against the rebellious python skin and metallic fish net pieces.

They sailed away for a year and a day



















Thought I would share Natalie Anne Moran's first collection with you. Even though these pieces have been out since before April I am still in love with this collection.
Natalie's interpretation of cartoons and underwear which she hailed as inspiration is sooo far from what I would have conjured up from these two key words! Far from harsh and wacky, this collection is soft, pretty and fun.
Launching in 2011 the line comprises variations on the theme of classic T-Shirts and jeans re-hashed with embroidery, print, cut, unexpected detailing, a fusion of fabrics and a dash of mischief. 

I recently wrote the new bio for her website which is currently being updated, so make sure you check back in the next few weeks xx

Natalie Anne Moran

Long time no speak, so expect a flood of posts now!
I am currently working one day a week for independent womenswear designer Natalie Anne Moran and we have just finished the Spring/Summer '12 Lookbook (as styled by Kyanisha Morgan). Definitely enjoying being a PA to the lovely lady and have also been made an author to her blog so will be dividing my time between Style A-Y and Natalia Supernova!


For her latest collection of day to night pieces Natalie has taken influence from photographer Alice Hawkins, her photographs of Blackpool and Vegas have inspired a colour saturated and embellished range of pieces. 













I want me the argyle crop tee and spotted tulle maxi!

If you haven't already then make sure you check her stuff, she has just launched her second collection which is stocked in Shop172 on Brick Lane and can be found online at Styligion and Not Just A Label
