Trail blazing with balenciaga...

Welcome my fellow Judges,
Well the Jury is out on many things in the style stakes... do I go for wider trousers this season, which shade of blue will i be sporting?.Do you think my patients will appreciate me in a sheer shirt ?( good god no i hear you all shout at your laptops !!!). Do i wear my hair ruffled or immaculately shiny and looking like a throwback from the 40's short back and sides me thinks?..I'll just end up looking like Arthur Askey!!....No!.....i'm not THAT old!!!...just like old movies....
You may think this is all i have to worry about ! you are so wrong as these are mere trivial things that take up a few minutes compared to last year when i drove up to a sunglasses show in the north of England. How glamorous my life is... I got to see them all last year and it was here i stumbled over one of the most forward thinking yet somehow wearable collections. I loved the way the collection was so inspired by the past yet somehow looked so modern at the same time.
The collection was presented in such a way it almost shone out amongst some of the bigger hitters and made them look almost tired, Balenciaga sunglasses are not afraid to make a statement yet like all other labels prides itself on quality of design and with rather a quirky twist to boot.
The collection comprises of six shapes available in limited colourings of nudes and black this is because at Balenciaga the colour happens in their clothing collections. Design is often turned on it's head and Balenciaga Eye wear is only to be described as must haves for those that dare to be a little more daring with their sunnies. The key hole nose bridge in heavy black acetate is one of my personal favourites and the pair i myself decided to purchase there and then. On arrival i also put the heavy black square eyes to one side for when the sun came out and have not been without either of them since.
Balenciaga began life as a fashion trailblazer and with the Renaissance the label has had over the past decade it seems they are not only quirky fly by nights but the Picasso of the the fashion world ( thank you Anna wintour for that description).
So what i want to really say is when you are considering the big investment into the world of designer sunglasses are you sure you want to be surrounded by the sheep or do you want blaze a trail in Balenciaga like myself.
I wanted to bring something ever so slightly different this year and boy did i do well
So come on Judges what do you think to Balenciaga ?
For now i am off to get some red wine and brie.
Keep 'em peeled

Prada versus Miu Miu pound those pavements in style.

Hello fellow Judges,
How the devil are you on this fine Spring day ? I am sat at my desk with the sun streaming through and the birds twittering away ! Spring has finally arrived and here we are all full of the joys of the season ! It seems Spring has finally started and the smiles on the faces of folk around town can only be described as infectious.
The style council are already out in their joyous new clobber for the season and some very interesting looks are happening out on the cobbled streets. People seem to be pounding the concrete in shorts and t shirts to cast away the final throws of Winter. I must say Spring is my favourite season it seems people just seem to be able to smile again and are no longer cast in their black cloaks or heavy coats. The first rays of sun of sun bring about a change in us Brit's and a sense of optimism is sweeping over us again.
Maybe I have that S.A.D thing as all I wanted to really do this Winter was sleep and eat, or is that us all ? So Judges, what is your favourite season ? How do those first rays of sun make you feel ? Go on let me know, you know you want to !
So all the shows are done for this season Miu Miu and Prada are being coveted by every fashion hack pounding the streets in there lipstick heels and 50's retro Miu Miu sunglasses, thinking they are somehow more glamorous than you screen sirens who have already gone crazy for them. The look Muccia wanted to portray was that of Americana in it's heyday back in the days where stars had real clout and set trends and just entertained. Stars in those days had true talents and glamour came naturally to many think Audrey, Marilyn, Greta , Rita the list goes on so come on ladies channel that inner siren.
The relationship between entertainment and fashion has always been a strong one but Muccia Prada took it to another level this season in her menswear show when rather than casting models she decided to call on every A Lister she has kitted out over the past couple of decades in a Baroque inspired collection for A/W 12. Anyway I digress sorry for that tangent slipping in there focus Judge focus.
For you men reading this Prada sunglasses are not only practical stylish and quality pieces, they have the ability to make you somehow feel somehow more stylish than you already are and with there simple lines and sporty look transport you from the sports field to the streets in a hop skip and a jump.
Ladies Prada designer shades have smashed it with the whole collection featuring heavily in the fashion press, music videos on screen and more obviously on the streets near you. The collection nods back to fashion archives and styles are big ,they bring a wearable look to any outfit.These are set to become the new classics for 2012.
The collection is divided into the main collection and the 'The Swing' collection takes inspiration from a simple round frame with scrolling detailed arms in various fashionable colours, 'the Swing' collection looks back as always will keep you looking one step ahead. These beauties are not for everyone but the main collection has something for everyone and will keep those peepers protected and looking right up there with the A Lister's.
Muccia prada is creative director for both Prada and Miu Miu and has set what has in the past been a brand that was concerned with style and no substance, to a more cerebral label of late with technique and new fabric innovations always featuring in both labels collections. Prada caters for the higher end and more fashion conscious with such a knowledge of her market she never seems to fail these days.
Miu Miu is Muccias more fun side and often features bright and bold patterns that you may need to wear your Carte noire to look at yourself in the mirror. The Carte Noire collection of Miu Miu eye wear is again a separate collection to the mainline but i can only envisage this will continue to influence the collections direction what with Muccia introducing the stunning cameo collection of jewellery pieces this year .
So for now my fellows i shall bid you good day
Remember to keep us posted on your news and thoughts and thank you for reading.

Life seems to be a merry-go-round for Marc Jacobs.

Well it's that time of day Judges,
Yep you guessed it blog time and today's subject matter in hand is the creative and fashion King of the stateside corner of the fashion globe Marc Jacobs.... but hold up, how rude of me in a whirl to get this show on the road... I never even thanked you for the great response we have been enjoying to our recent posts ...... So a big thank you to you all for taking five or ten minutes out of your precious days to read my mindless babble.
So without further need I am going to hurl you into the 'crazy' world of Marc Jacobs. Born in New York back in '63 Jacobs himself has two labels which he has complete creative control over , and his second Job being... no, not a paperboy but only Creative Director for the fashion Juggernaut Louis Vuitton. Jacobs, a self proclaimed king of self publicity recently did his bow in a polo dress and no I am not talking a Ralph Lauren dress but a Polo 'T' shirt dress! The man certainly is ahead of his game. I think I will stick to My palazo's to relax in... no risk of dropping a clanger there.
So Jacobs having all the spare time he has recently finished off New york fashion week with Two shows for his own labels, and in Paris he did what can only be described as one of the most ostentatious shows for Louis Vuitton .The models were shown on a LV monogammed merry- go -round with heaps of white luggage and colourful clothes, but that was not all. More recently, in the recent Paris ready to wear shows, Vuitton presented the collection of by- gone inspired fur drenched collections off none other than a train station ,and the models all departed the train to a stunning reception.
Marc Jacobs garners his inspiration from multiple areas creating a new look for each collection but all his collections have an uber feminine feel making him one of the top female designers of the moment.
So i hear you ask what has this man to do with us when all you have is a few pairs of Marc Jacobs sunglasses in the reduced section?.... well, patience my fellow Judges' as I am happy to announce that i have gone and done it.... yup ,I have snapped up a veritable selction of the lovely Marc Jacobs eyewear so you can be right in there with all fashion's hottest.
So if you tired of Chanel , fed up of Fendi then look no further than the designer Marc Jacobs shades for this season's statement.
Simply update your look, wardrobe with some of these beautys
For now, Judges I have my own carousel to ride and a whole lot more blogging to do to keep you hungry lot from chomping at the bitt
For now take care and keep em' peeled

A Stella performance.....

Well hello, good evening ,and welcome Judges
This week I am having a little flurry of inspiration of blog subjects with going over the archives of the past weeks fashion news. It seems the world as a whole is favouring the good old days and nostalgia is rife within the Spring/Summer collections.
One of my favourites and I know your favourites of the moment is the fashion 'Dahling' Stella McCartney who seems at the moment to not be able to put a Platform wedge wrong, not only did she recently have an original though shall we say almost flash mob fashion show at London. This was to premiere her new eveningwear collection to the world. Stella hosted a sophisticated soiree with close family and friends and of course the obligatory Supermodels ( whom do seem to fall into the circle of friends). The latter of the guests were made to earn their scran and after dessert was cleared away the tone of the evening changed and the waiting staff along with the supermodels of yesteryear and today started to get their groove on. Of course this was all a choregraphed routine by the team who created the routine for Daft punks 'Around the world'.
Stella McCartney in real life is friends with the worlds most glamorous females of the moment including everyone's favourite diet chef Gwyneth Paltrow , Gymtastic Madge, All legs Diaz and that is just her bestie's . Often found slouching in rather subdued clothing McCartneys style is all that of a simple English rose transported into the fashion idea of a farce. She prefers to just chillax and gain inspiration from her past adventures and loves nothing more than a good boogie on down in her studio stroke second home in London.
McCartney is speedily gaining favour with the fashion Elite being 'a girl's girl' she designs what she would be seen dead in as she was once quoted. Here I am seeing an ever increasing demand for more feminine products and you ladies are certainly keeping me busy. Stella McCartney sunglasses this season are so far the most popular label to be seen in. You are certainly not affraid to go against this seasons advice and ditch the Stella McCartney aviators as this model in any of the colours is huge. Mind being the model that Stella sports all the time I am not surprised the quality of Stella McCartney shades are second to none being made of sustainable materials , recycled or even specially created materials to have the least impact on the earth's natural resources. See, who could have thought that you could not be stylish and make an Enviromental statement all in one.
Stella not only designs for her own label but also has a succesful colaboration with Adidas so come on ladies get into sport with Stella and rock the trend of sportschic.
So all I can say is it must be in the genes and we are heralding the birth of another McCartney British institution
So for now Judges I am off for a glass of cold nettle tea and going to munch on mung beans
Remeber if you do anythnig Keep em' peeled

Creating the most sexy 'geek chic' look in the whole World. The Paul Smith sunglasses worn by them went down a treat!
Paul Smith in Feburary showed his models on the London catwalks walking down in heavy tweeds and luxury suitings and get this Paul Smith Sunglasses. This man is effortless with throwing the whole look on his models and making them own the runway in a style that has Britain stamped all over it. The Paul Smith shades had a 1930's retro feel as well.
Paul has been busy this awards season notably clothing the top man of the moment Gary Oldman. A true winner in the style stakes and a new Paul smith Champion. Talking of champions you surfers are in for a for a treat when British based surf label reveal their latest collaboration with Sir Paul on their latest collection of surfing apparel and also a limited edition Paul Smith surfboard......

Sporting qualities of the true British Gent.

Good evening all you sun drenched Judges,
Well I wish we were unforetunately it looks like the weathermen seemed to have gotten a couple of things wrong with the forecasts of late. We were promised a week of sun and of course temperatures that would rival late April in the Med. How wrong it's been... cloudy and is it just me ,or has it been rather chilly?. Mind you, I have to say the other weekend when the weather was glorious, I donned my trainers, shorts, ipod, and not to forget my Oakleys and did my first run in the open for some time.
So with the Olympics coming in August are you getting the buzz with yet, what with more of us spending a small fortune on Kit and Gym's. Local councils doing more to get people to use local facilities it seems in the past few years we Brit's are shunning a few hours a week in front of the gogglebox and the trappings of modern world to get back to some good old endorphin rich sports.
Is this because of events like the Olympics or is it just body fascisim gone mad and we are all trying to set our body's to a new fitness level?. I say, who care's for the reson we all know that doing some form of activiity that is above our normal heartrate is good for us.
One company that is taking it to the extremes in more ways than one is the company Oakley. The company began back in 1975 and has grown to be the suplier of all forms of sporting eyewear. The sports they cater for range from high adreniline sports such as motorsports,bmxing, snowboarding, and sailing. To the more sedate sports of bowling, running and not to forget that increasingly popular sport of shooting. ( One of our customers and someone who is very close to the website insists that his Oakleys have improved his shooting and with interchangeable lenses he is never with them).
Oakley began life in the garage of it's founder Jim Jannard with only $300 of backing determined to create Oakley shades the market leader and push boundaries in ways no other company had before. It took Jim 17 long years to create the O shape that pushed the company to the heady heights of success and become every sportsmans most prized piece of equipment.
Today Oakley supplies not only Oakley sunglasses, Oakley Eyewear but also clothing making the company one of the best and biggest sporting brands in the world. Oakley sponsor major sporting events and sports stars alike, this year they are sponsoring the US team for the Olympics and many other countries alike.
So come on Judges lets get the heartrates up and get pumping that tarmac
Keep em peeled for the torch and those medals and all that is left for me to say is good luck to the whole of the British Olympic squad and keep the gold for us .
And hey, you never know cash for gold may ask you for their next ad!
Regards The Judge

To the more sedate sports of bowling, running and not to forget that increasingly popular sport of shooting. ( One of our customers and someone who is very close to the website insists that his Oakleys have improved his shooting and with interchangeable lenses he is never with them).
Oakley began life in the garage of it's founder Jim Jannard with only $300 of backing determined to create Oakley shades the market leader and push boundaries in ways no other company had before. It took Jim 17 long years to create the O shape that pushed the company to the heady heights of success and become every sportsmans most prized piece of equipment.
Today Oakley supplies not only Oakley sunglasses, Oakley Eyewear but also clothing making the company one of the best and biggest sporting brands in the world. Oakley sponsor major sporting events and sports stars alike, this year they are sponsoring the US team for the Olympics and many other countries alike.
