BLOG: Tavi

Tavi, the thirteen year-old self-confessed dork is fast becoming one of the major players in the international fashion over and above the millions of other online bloggers. She believes her age and inexperience are the key: “Because I am insecure about other things instead of appearances, it is easier for me to try out kooky things”. Tavi commented on the S/S 2010 catwalks with flair and attitude, describing Rodarte’s prints as some of the best of the season: “WITHOUT USING MIAMI ca. 1997” inspiration. “BRAVO!!” She has already been spotted by The New York Times, graced the covers of POP and Love magazines, been given front row seats at New York Fashion Week and been sent free clothes by Rodarte. Jealous? You bet. She also manages to campaign for genocide victims of Darfur on the side. Check out her blog tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com, which updates regularly with news from the fashion front line.

YORK: Late Night Shopping

York kicks off its christmas celebrations very early this year, specifically on the nineteenth of November. You might think it will be all sparkly christmas trees and ice sculptures, but there will also be an evening of late night shopping. Reiss is going all out with a DJ and joining forces with the Biltmore Bar and Grill to provide an evening of music, cocktails and shopping: certainly a potentially lethal mix for your credit card! They are also offering a 10% discount so don’t miss out. Whistles are starting their late nights on the 26th November and will be open until 7pm. Coggles will have a series of six late nights starting from the third of December.

DESIGNER: David Koma

David Koma’s collection has sold out of Browns Focus, despite it being his first collection after graduating from Central St Martins. The reason? Cheryl Cole sported one of his graduate designs in a recent X Factor Saturday night show and caused a stir. The futuristic,sculptural designs, which look extremely tricky to wear have also been spotted on Lady Gaga and Megan Fox, each time dividing the fashion critics: fab or OTT? The designer has been awarded the Harrods Design Award and also the Merit Award from Vauxhall Fashion Scout and his new Spring Summer collection is vibrantly coloured and industrial. Tipped to be the next best thing on the London fashion scene.

CAPSULE: H&M = Choo

Fancy a pair of Choo’s for £49? Head down to H&M this saturday, elbows out, to bag yourself a pair of the cheapest designer shoes of your life. The countdown has begun and the entire collection has recently been featured in Grazia, so you can plan exactly what you want before you hit the shops. The collection features key pieces from this season
catwalks, from thigh high boots to sequined jackets to studded jewellery and bags. Prices start from £14.99, so whatever your budget, you can have a piece of the mainline collection inspired by the wardrobe of Tamara Mellon, who designed the collection to “encapsulate the perfect day-to-night wardrobe”. You will have to travel to London, Manchester or Newcastle to shop the collection though, it’s not hitting the York store!
