The lovely Kelly I met during LFW at Somerset House looking rather fab!! Kelly is a fashion journalism degree student, writer,
reporter and representative for SUITCASE Magazine. There's nothing I love more than a good old check on check outfit and Kelly wears this one so well!
What do you do and why
do you love your job?
I am currently studying my third year of fashion
journalism and earlier this year was lucky enough to secure a month placement
with travel and fashion magazine SUITCASE. Since then I have been working
closely with the team and the most inspirational youngest founding
editor-in-chief in the world, Serena Guen. I have been lucky enough to manage
some marketing and events for the publication including a pop-up magazine stall
we installed in Old Street station earlier last month. As well as being a
quarterly publication online and in-print SUITCASE curates various pop-up shops
and events; the most recent being the Summer SUITCASE store located inside the
Vinyl Factory in South Kensington, we have another in the pipeline for Winter
so watch this space!
What's your favourite
part of London fashion week?
Roaming around the designer showrooms and coming
across SUITCASE Magazine in press portfolios – it’s exciting to see that we
work with so many reputable and talented designers in editorials and features.
Talking to Anna Williamson and Ella Ringner at Yolke (a clothing line dedicated
to all things co-ordinated) we cooed over our OCD driven love for everything
matchy-matchy. As a writer the importance of getting into the mind of a
designer is just as significant as being able to put pen to paper –I love the
inspiration you get from it.
Who is your favourite
designer at the moment?
Ellie Saab, always –
there is nothing that emancipates a woman more than Saabs designs, so intricate
and perfect, every collection is so concise and dreamy, my ultimate is his S/S
’12 Couture. Juxtapose Saab in terms of contemporary design I’m really
influenced by men’s streetwear – Christopher Shannon, Astrid Andersen,
Christopher Raeburn, JW Anderson, Rick Owens, Tisci at Givenchy and Brendon
Babenzien at Supreme. Nazir Mazhar is an ultimate favourite – I love how he
never strays far from his Leytonstone roots.
What shows have you been to and what's been your fav?
I have just come from
DAKS at the Opera House this morning, which was theatrical – it just made me
want to watch the ballet. The collection was heavily dancewear influenced so it
went hand-in-hand, super sheer fabrics and minimal understated colours. I’m
waiting around for Christopher Raeburn to start this evening, I want to see if
his womens RTW lives up to his streetwear legacy, no doubt I won't be
disappointed judging by the sneak peak of his digital weather-pattern-map
prints on his Instagram account!
5 items your can't live without?
A very large bag that fits my life into it
- preferably a SUITCASE ;)
My diary (otherwise I am extremely
unorganized)
My beautiful Raymond Weil ‘Tango’ watch
(otherwise I am extremely late)
Mac Fix + (otherwise my make-up is non
existent by mid-day)
And a pen because as a writer you never
know when you may need one!
