We Ain't Hoes!

Check out the newly constructed WAH Magazine website, as the girls have cut no corners in making the site as brilliant as the concept behind it. WAH magazine [which I recently found out stood for We Ain't Hoes] is the lovechild of stylist and consultant supremo Sharmadean Reid, who felt that the female population of London deserved recognition and a voice - a proper and real female orientated space to talk about their ambitions, aspirations and achievements. WAH, I have come to realise, is about empowering women [Coca-Cola listen the fuck up], as the success of females can be somewhat over looked in many male dominated industries. Reid and WAH are working against this masculine sexist mentality, striking an aggressively feminist stance as she and her team of some of the most brilliant bright [extremely pretty] young things work to make sure that the magazine remains a sonorous success.

The Revolution Is Now...

Today sees the release of T.Magic's newest set of apparel - a re-release of his original 'The Revolutiuon Is Now' set. Though with less powerful tones replacing those of the original, the new colour theme is in keeping with T.Magics philosophy of vibrant colour. Take a little look, peek here.

Thanks to T.Magic for the image.

Flatspot: the road to sneakerdom...

Sneakers are a big part of my life, without a doubt [I'm currently hoarding them at a rate of knots and I'm seriously considering knocking in a wall in my room to make space for more of the leather bound beauties], I've lended myself to the culture and, follow them as vapidly as I follow my other passions. Listening to the radio today [Radio 2 - thanks Benny], I heard someone announce that they were seriously shocked that some kids spend anything up to £300 a month on trainers... Don't be surprised. That's nothing. I know certain people who spend that on a single pair a week, hell I would if I could. I lend myself to sneakers and embrace them as art forms, so when it comes to getting my fix ,one of the first places I look across the vast expanse of the net is Flatspot. The British skateboarding, apparel and footwear associated company sell brands such as MHI, Stussy, NikeSB and Carhaart, at, not only reasonable prices, but leading ones too.

Red Nose Day 2009

I may not know which Beatle is which, but I bloody love these Comic Relief t-shirts from TK Maxx. As part of the fund raising campaign for the annual charity event, Stella McCartney has created this stylish set of tees, with images of seminal figures in the British entertainment industry blazed across white shirts, contrasted only by the red circles across each nose. This year could be an extremely difficult one for any charity event as the recession has tightened everyone's already unyielding purse strings, and the generous quality of a nation shall be severely tested. These t shirts are a start and, at just under £10, are a snip – get down to your local TK Maxx and support.

Artistic bits and bobs

I was just going through some of the pictures on my old computer and found these pictures of some of my GCSE and AS level coursework. When I find more I'll upload them [alternatively, I could of course just bring out these pictures and snap them, but that would involve missions into either my cellar, or my loft, which, I assure you, 'aint fun', and is fraught with perils along the way... Seriously].

Perfectly Flawed

Perfectly Flawed, created by young designer Karl Slater, is one of the most talked about, up and coming British brands this year. With pieces emerging in publications of the likes of RWD and SuperSuper, Slater's brand is hot on the tongues of the fashion conscious aficionados. See more of his work here and here.

Above is the Niyi Crown v neck shirt, modelled by the one and only, Mr Crown himself.

The talented tuo of Tim and blushing Barry...

Make sure to watch out for this terrifically talented duo in the coming months, as the creative team that is Tim and Barry plan to put themselves well and truly on the map. Check out their YouTube channel here and more of their work here.

Trading Places VIII

Eagerly anticipated, Trading Places returns to us this weekend and, as fashion week dawns, the ATCN and the TMI crews have gone to extra lengths to fully display the raw sexiness, atmosphere and vibrance of one of London's best nights. The poster above is a mergence of some of Londons most creative individuals from the arts scene as Irene Agbontaen and Ala worked on the wonderful styling and make up respectively, combined with artwork from Insa and Ethel, and the fantastic face that is Suzi P's. It will be one hell of a night, I hope to see all there!
