Last week I had the chance to meet the founder of Swedish Hasbeens at Selfridges for the launch of their pop up store. It was so much fun, with a whole choreographed dance of girls bending into insane positions and flying through the air with ribbon sticks! It was the perfect way to show off the new SH collection, still with a hint of clog but mostly inspired by the classic bowling shoe. Emy, the founder of the iconic shoes and I could not have been more oppositely dressed she was telling the story of the beginnings of the brand; when they started in 2006 it was hard because everybody was having a black moment, now the world is more accepting of colour and their business is thriving, I suppose I’m still stuck in 2006 then! 

This is one of my more casual looks that I’ve been living in recently, loving my new shoes from Mr Porter! Michael actually pulled Alexxsia aside at the launch to double check if I knew I was wearing trainers, I love them ok? Now to get my hands on some of these bowling babies!

ONE OF SEVEN

Last night Selfridges hosted a night of short films to celebrate the opening of their new Womens Designer Galleries; their were 7 short films created to sum up the ideal woman behind the labels, such as this one for Ann Demeulemeester; directed by Michael C. Pitt featuring Jamie Bochert. Other designers included were Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh and Dries Van Noten. The film project will be at The Old Selfridges Hotel until the 25th March, but you can view the seven films online here.
