There’s nothing like a mix of femininity and toughness to draw eyes and cameras come fashion week. In London during spring, the mix was manifested in everything from androgynous tailoring and heels to slouchy boyfriend shirts with skinny pants, to dresses given added cool factor by way of leather-trimmed varsity jackets.

What would spring 2013 fashion be without prints? From the retro heaven of 60s inspired geometric patterns to the new takes on women’s camo, if there’s any city that’s fearless in throwing together a clash of print, it’s London. During the spring fashion week season, the streets were filled with quirky and whimsical prints be they accents or head-to-toe looks. Here’s a street style round-up…
Backstage at Eudon Choi’s autumn 2013 show, makeup artist Adam de Cruz and the AOFM Pro team were busy creating a beauty look that involved a ‘smokey brow’. Not sure exactly what that is?

If you want to attract attention, it’s best to have an unconventional fashion statement that will make people on the street look twice at you. Take for example this street style look taken outside the Topshop Unique show in London: her fashion statement is her gaiter-style knee high boots from Givenchy’s fall 2012 collection.
“The brain works in mysterious ways” and with that said, Christoper Kane made his unusual source of inspiration this season appear somewhat more reasonable, easier to process. Seen otherwise, building a collection as inspired by the pulse sequence of an MRI brain scan is an action worthy of a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein. But than again, Kane was never shy of showcasing his fascination towards the…

Sometimes pieces on a runway look amazing when part of the procession, but not so great when divorced from the whole. Others stand out as being the kind of pieces you’d want to buy and wear, regardless of what else they’re paired with.
