Label Lust: Kenzo

Founded in 1970, Kenzo is a vibrant and edgy brand famous for it's unique and quirky patterns and more recently the Kenzo Eye or the Flying Tiger. Whilst the closest I'll get to their clothes is through the window of Selfridges, or in the pages of magazines, there's no harm in dreaming...

Kenzo
Eye-Print Shearling Biker Jacket
£1,875

Kenzo
Cloud-Print Silk  Crepe De Chine Shirt

£740

Kenzo

Kenzo

Kenzo is by far my favorite designer of the moment, the mixture of art and fashion makes for beautiful clothing and original accessories that you would never see replicated on the high street.

Angela & Roi: Handbags With A Purpose

A unique brand with a heart warming yet vital ethos, combining fashion and philanthropy, Angela & Roi should certainly not be overlooked as 'just another handbag' this christmas. Their minimalist yet chic selection of  backpacks, totes, shoulder, and cross-body bags are vintage inspired with a contemporary and current twist. However, I feel that most importantly their handbags are more than just a container in which you throw your phone, purse and lipstick in but they hold a very important message. Angela & Roi's handbags are arranged in an unconventional 'donate by colour' system. This simple, yet highly effective and intriguing way of allowing a follower of fashion to do more than purchase a handbag,but donate to a worthy cause at the same time is truly refreshing. Angela & Roi are passionate about moving forward and their strong, easily recognizable colours help to raise awareness of different medical issues. Below are my favorite bags from each of their colour collections...
