Last night I met up with the beautiful Clare from Tweet and sweetheart Anna Madeleine to head down to the Katie Eary for Catwalk Genius launch party. We headed into the building by London Bridge to find an Alice in Wonderland like room full of mossy walls and secret peepholes!
For someone who has long been a fan of Katie Eary's menswear collections, I was really excited at seeing what she came up with for womenswear. The collection used prints from her menswear and were in three simple and wearable jersey pieces: a tunic, leggings and a dress.
(I WANT this dress. No surprises there!)
This launch was special because it's the first EVER fan-funded clothing collection. £5,000 was raised so that Katie (who, by the way, is incredibly gorgeous) could create these limited edition pieces by people buying shares in the clothing. Each supporter who purchased at least one share in the new collection will get 24 hours advance notice to buy from the 'Katie Eary at Catwalk Genius' collection when it is launched later this summer, as well as other supporter benefits. As it's limited edition, it's sure to sell out extremely quickly!
As the room itself was so fantastic, we decided to do a little phootshoot. My friends Clare and Luke both came in leather shorts looking HOT HOT HOT. I love Clare's lace top and short curly hair and Luke's awesome backpack. (I'm currently trying to peer pressure Luke into starting a blog, because he always ALWAYS looks amazing.) I also snapped picture of Fiona from Save Our Shoes and Isabelle OC's outfits, but the green light meant they didn't come out so well, sadly.
There was also loads of awesome shoe porn! Love Kate from Fabric Of My Life's gorgeous brown brogues from Topshop and Alex from Alex Loves amazing Marni shoes (middle, top row).
And, finally...
WHAT I'M WEARING
Maxi dress // New Look
Giant A necklace // Topshop
Orange clutch // Modalu London via Topshop
Wedge boots // Minimarket via my-wardrobe.com
I love this clutch: big (bit enough to have a book in it, as well as all my stuff!), bold, bright and ORANGE (aka the best colour ever, pretty much.) I've already used it a lot since I bought it and am sure that it won't be its last appearance on the blog. Not pictured, but much appreciated was the delicious strawberry cider on offer. Yum yum yum, seriously. Highly recommended!
thanks for visiting my site. it love the new clean look that topshop.com has. it is more pleasing to the eye.
