Styleslut Returns

Wow. London's a pretty happening place. You can't even go to the toilet without tripping over a promoter/designer/artist/photographer/celebrity squatter/hipster blogger/dj/scene-whore of some such. If you want to get girls/guys, bag lots of free coke and get into clubs for free, your best bet is to get a title with some kind of meaning behind it.

Maaike Mekking

Although she's only on her third season, it's a good bet you'll have seen Maaike Mekking's subtly directional work already. Her A/W 08/09 collection, 'Sing Fight Cry Pray' takes its name from a Dutch folk song she remembers from her youth; amongst old-school glamorous Dietrich and Aubrey Beardsley-inspired silhouettes, there's elements of chaos snuck in with paint splatters and hand-dyed denim (topped off with conical leather and clown hats, naturally).

Open the window and ask someone outside who Paris Hilton is and it would be a rare find for someone to respond ignorantly. After all she has done well to establish herself as a household name.
