Aldo's collaboration with Julian Louie

 The collaboration will debut for the 2011 Spring/Summer. The wedge heels were inspired by the book “The Hyena and Other Men,” a photography book by Pietro Hugo showcasing a group of Nigerian hunters and their “animal friends.”

Fashion Week Excitement

Im not sure if its the fact that its fashion week in this city or if its just always so lively and fashion crazy, but I'm loving every minute of it. This week being fashion week is so exciting! I obvi wasn't directly involved in any of the major Fashion Week shows but that really didn't matter because all across the city there were Fashion Week event being held. Keeping everyone involved and maintaining the Fashion Week hype.

TopShop is holding Fashion Week workshops and seminars all week.

So I attended two of the TopShop Fashion Week workshops that were held in the Oxford Circus TopShop store. The first one was with artist Howard Tangye. He is a fashion illustration teacher at Central St Martins, who taught John Galliano when he was studying at Central St Martins. He was doing a live fashion illustration demonstration. Topshop handed out clipboards and drawing supplies so that everyone could take part. The second one was a blogger event with the bloggers Susie Bubble from Style Bubble and Topshop's Inside-Out blogger. They talked about their life's as bloggers, what they blog about, why they blog about them and answered a bunch of questions from the audience.

Here are some pictures from the in-store events
