Creativity in the Capital


I've just read the latest issue of Dazed & Confused which included some features on artists, designers, directors and other creative minds who reside and/or work in east London and their views on the future of the creative hub and talent breeding ground. It was interesting to read their concerns about east London becoming more and more commercialised, many of them reminiscing about the early Shoreditch/Stepney scene which has since moved further east to Dalston and parts of Hackney. Their main concern it seems is - if east London is dead - where do they go from here?

V Man 24: The Decades Issue



For their 24th Issue V Man has decided the celebrate the trends and designers that defined every decade from the 1930s up to this one! 
Beautifully photographed by Benjamin Lennox and expertly styled by Tom Van Dorpe, the issue is on sale now! 


The 1930s - Ralph Lauren


 1940s - Louis Vuitton 
1950s - DSQUARED2


1960s - Prada 
1970s - Gucci


1980s - Dolce & Gabbana 
1990s - Calvin Klein

2000s - G-Star 
2010s - Jil Sander

I'm completely in love with this editorial, a wonderful idea for now and for reference. It clearly showcases the way fashion always comes back around and that some things are timeless. On another note, it terrifies me that G-Star is considered to define the 2000s... or anything at all for that matter.
