Meadham Kirchhoff x Topshop

Today the new Meadham Kirchhoff collection for Topshop was released! The collection is based on an imaginary four piece girl band, The Cherrys, who each have their own signature style. Obviously each item is cutesy and kitsch, because Meadham Kirchhoff, and a lot of the stuff draws inspiration from the 1970's. It's as though the designers watched The Runaways and then were left to their own devices.

Of course the item I wanted most (the red heart pinafore on the left) was sold out by the time I checked the website this morning, not that I could afford it anyway, but I decided to mock up what I'd like most from the collection and how I'd style them if every item of clothing I'd ever wanted was suddenly at my fingertips.

10.55 Vth Anniversary Party

The only non blurry photo I managed to get of the after party.

To commemorate 10.55's fifth year of existence, FiftyFiveDsl threw a celebratory exhibition of the new limited edition t-shirt designs in Shoreditch.

The FiftyFiveDsl brand began it's journey as an experimental streetwear line for Diesel, getting it's name from the original line being composed of fifty five designs. The current creative director is actually the founder of Diesel's son, Andrea Rosso.

Rosso himself was at both the exhibition and the after party. As was photographer, Gavin Watson, who created the image for my favourite design in the new collection of the boy in Mickey Mouse ears throwing the v-sign. I didn't get a chance to speak to Rosso but Watson was very friendly and told me he liked my boots and that they were apparently "the first thing he noticed as he entered the room".

At the exhibition itself, there were framed t-shirts from the new collection on the walls but I was mostly distracted by the projector that screened designs onto blank a blank t-shirt, possibly because the picture changed every few seconds and I'm easily amused.

Crystal Head vodka was free of charge at the after party and I definitely felt like my head had turned into a crystal ready to shatter the next morning.
