DMs...

Okay, so I've been ranting and raving about DMs ever since seeing some little Italian fashionista in a pair during Fashion Week and then I see this image from the Vice Global Trend Report and I'm like, okay - so you never know if they mean it or not, but hell - I can see it (a shame, since DMs don't seem to be able to see it at all, currently only stocking in one store in Camden and one camping store on Charing Cross road) but hey... I was always a monkey boots girl, but damn - I'm liking this look. Bring back the Seudeheads I say; it's all about the roll-up (alright, pin tuck Sniper) and an unlaced boot... yum.

Archaeology of sorts

You may or may not have noticed the recent push in the refurbishment of The London Underground network, where both it's functional facilities and aesthetic facades are receiving heavy remedial attention, primely in the name of improvement and partially in the name of the 2012 Olympics (I'm sure). If you havn't noticed or been in the capital to witness first hand, then you probably missed the opportunity of seeing such remnants as these in person. Poster campaigns reminiscent of times passed, and plenty of them. The essence of nostalgia for many. This one rings home for me with particular clarity as it features a very rarely tackled theme, the neurological condition Narcolepsy, a fascinating sleep related disorder that leaves the sufferer often dangling and drifting between the surreal, the real and the weirdly unreal. FAR OUT!
