A WEEKEND IN EDINBURGH

‘The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.‘ – E.E. Cummings
I just came back from a wonderful weekend in Edinburgh. A weekend filled with delicious mussels at The Outsider, cocktails at Bar Kohl and a picnic in the highlands with a basket full of philosophy & poetry books. It’s hard when you run your own business to accept that you are allowed to switch off, yet in moments of idle thought, heated discussion, or whilst on a long walk great inspiration can be found.
Scottish Style File: I took my new ME & ZENA heart ring £15 with me whilst I bought these Willow Boots £195 Kurt Geiger I love the equestrian edge of these riding boots. A velvet blazer like this one from Diane Von Furstenberg £140 is a winter wardrobe staple + .J.W. ANDERSON Pleated Leather Gloves £195
Scottish Fashion Designers
SCOTTISH FASHION DESIGNERS: Glasgow born, Jonathan Saunders, whose S/S’13 collection (below) featured ‘plenty of lightweight knitwear, with delicious sequins applied to knit cardigans and pencil skirts’ has a brilliant way of making patterns wearable. Blending textures into clothes like with the gorgeous, weaved knit (£236 ) below. The Outnet has an amazing discounted selection at the moment.

Holly Fulton’s refreshed take on art-deco always has me swooning. I’m hoping these 2 looks from her S/S’13 collection will miraculously appear in my wardrobe.

HUISHAN ZHANG
31.01.13
I saw designer HUISHAN ZHANG’S beautiful spring/summer collection a few days after I had been flicking through family photo albums of my parents in Hong Kong in the early 1980s. I was struck by a pretty snap of my mother alongside a Chinese friend both wearing cheongsams and how elegant they looked. Zhang’s signature notes of ‘Chinese Tradition meet Western Modernity’ have been reborn into a new vividness- a new kind of empire that is far from colonial.
I can’t wait to see what he delivers for A/W’13, his plans for 2013? ‘To move forward’ a simple, powerful statement. It is amazing the abrupt ambition Asia breeds- I can’t wait to go back to Hong Kong in March to see my parents and to visit Korea for the first time.
