New Oxygen Boutique in London!

Edited by

Oxygen is London’s coolest independent fashion boutique. It is a unique retail concept that has grown from extensive experience of the fashion industry and an intrinsic ability to identify the wardrobe needs of women in the UK.

Devised by two generations of one family, Oxygen is the creation of Helen and Joanna who after many years of cultivating their highly successful fashion led label and successfully supplying to many of our nations biggest high street names, realized there was a space for an accessible yet fashion led store stocking unique, desirable and discreet labels that can be mixed and worn without the need for status or label flashing. The result is Oxygen.

The labels selected to be in-store are an intriguing blend of new and up-and-coming designers who are creating a buzz in the industry to established highly desirable insider labels. Big brands and label flashing are a thing of the past and the carefully selected and edited buy reflects this new mood and a highly personal approach to dressing.

It’s a treasure trove of must-haves!!!


You just have to go see the boutique, but be aware it will be dangerous for your bank account!


Here is the link to their website: http://www.o2oxygen.com/


Cheers,

Elodie

Paris Street Fashion Stuff #3

Paris Street Fashion Stuff #3

Paris Street Fashion Stuff #3

On a gloriously balmy Sunday afternoon, as I was passing through the Place des Abbesses,

I spotted a very cute couple, looked back at them, thought, “Nah, they have already passed,
later…” I then spun around a called out “Excuse Me!” They turned and I
felt rather embarrassed stating that I had a blog and recently
commenced the “Paris Street Fashion Stuff” section and would they be
willing to pose for me. They very graciously accepted after I showed
them my blog on my iPhone.

Paris Street Fashion Stuff #2

I was taking a walk along Rue des Abbesses in the 18th District of Paris in Montmartre and spotted this couple and asked “Wanna be on my blog?” and they said sure…

You know, I have seen a few of the other blogs that appear to be random images of people on the street, but they are NOT randomly taken, but highly choreographed images to appear that
they are snap shots. What I have here is taken with my iPhone with no
enhancements other than some post prod in Photoshop.

XX ELLE

XX ELLE

by Benjamin Kanarek

Fashion silhouettes and the models used in most spreads in all of the major Fashion Magazines are generally quite sleek. Woman who read these magazines aspire to the precedents set
by these Trend Makers. It is more often than not very frustrating for
the readership to have to live up to the standards being set by those
influential glossies.

Pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies make a fortune on their magic formula’s, which they regularly advertise in the Beauty or Fitness sections of ELLE, VOGUE, Harper’s BAZAAR, Marie
Claire, etc… The income generated by catering to weight lose and the
associated regimes to do so are astronomical. Considering that
purchasing one advertising page in one of the above giants cost between
$25-35k, you can now begin to calculate the importance of this sector.
The Dove campaign is a case in point. But, the problem
up to now has been, although weight lose regimes are advertised, the
magazines do not really cater to the present physical state of a large
sector of the potential readership population. In fact, they more often
than not alienate those potential adopters of the Mega-Magazines, by not
directly communicating with them. They treat Plus Sized woman as a
malady and not a normal fact of life, thus alienating them even more so.

XX ELLE
Hungry by Crystal Renn

However, there has been some stirring amongst the general female populace and some magazines are starting to react. Most recently with French Marie Claire’s’ Special Un-retouched April 2010
Issue and in the March 26th, 2010 French ELLE (a weekly), they grace the
cover with XXL Model Tara Lynn at FORD Agency. To say it was a cultural
shock, would be an understatement. We have become so accustomed to size
“0? models featured on most covers that the shock and awe stopping
power of this one became a huge seller, outselling their average weekly
sales by a Large Margin… No Pun Intended.

Donna Karan has long been known for her “knotted” and fabulously draped silhouettes. I’m loving the ample tops and bottoms which are the perfect contrast to the fitted suits and dresses. I’ve always considered her one of those “best in show” designers as her collections are highly anticipated.

I think what I love most, is the fact that she has remained a relevant force in the fashion industry while many have fallen by the wayside. She’s found her creative niche and it continues to work time and again. She is and will remain a favorite.
