Under cover, Somerset House

London Fashion Week was a particularly wet one this season, as you may have gathered from my photographs. The umbrellas were out in force, adding new composition to the street style. I especially love the shape and structure of this umbrella carried by Beth, which she picked up as a last-minute addition from a London souvenir stand. She also wears an Urban Outfitters hat, C by Chloé jacket, Topshop skirt, and ASOS shoes.

Dunford Wood | Tie of the Tiger

I am very happy to introduce yet another snazzy bow tie to my collection, albeit this one is more special than others. This silk bow tie is a one-of-a-kind from Dunford Wood, a company once popular in the 1980s, but now re-emerging with new and unique designs, including these striking tiger stripes.

The company began in 1978 with Hugh Dunford Wood, who made his living by painting silk scarves. After making his wife a scarf for her birthday, he used the leftover material to fashion a bow tie for himself, and an idea was born. Years later, Dunford Wood bow ties were being sold in Harrods and various London boutiques. 

Today, Hugh continues his work from his studio in Lyme Regis, and sells his handpainted creations online. His bow ties are often colourful, eccentric, and irrefutably eye-catching. Even if you are a shy gentleman, why not wear a Dunford Wood design anyway and see where the fun takes you?

I have chosen the tiger stripes as a reflection of my wild side. I used to be an exceedingly timid individual, but that has all changed, and I want my style to emulate my confidence. That said, I cannot claim to be the real king of the jungle in my household...

Keep an eye on the blog for more stylish - albeit significantly less furry - characters from the Folk office.

BBC Radio 1Xtra Live: #BigUpBournemouth

The audience was a frenzy under the strobe lights, and the music reverberated endlessly. BBC Radio 1Xtra came to "Big Up Bournemouth", and they did not disappoint. Monday's talent included Katy B, Chase And Status, Digital Soundboy and many more, including a spectacular set from Sub Focus to close the night.

I admit I don't often attend concerts (the previous big gig I attended was Professor Green, on a blizzardous day in March), but 1Xtra Live has shown to me what I have been missing. Although the hype did not match the thunder of 20,000 screaming girls, the energy of a live performance is indeed potent - that which I hope I have captured in my photographs from the evening. I did not need an alcoholic beverage to become infected with the same vigour as the girls dancing on their seats in front of me.

You can listen to the whole concert on BBC iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/i/b03c25w2

Zatchels press day & Jacky Tsai collaboration

Satchel company Zatchels has launched a limited edition collaboration with Chinese artist Jacky Tsai. This exclusive collection of "wearable art" follows on from Jacky's previous fashion exploits, including Alexander McQueen spring/summer 2008 menswear and his own range of cotton t-shirts.

 

Each of his designs has been digitally printed onto the leather with pinpoint accuracy, offering unbroken artwork. The collection features his iconic floral skulls, which will be exhibited at Harvey Nichols in Manchester for Vogue Fashion's Night Out. Jacky Tsai is hopeful that consumers will appreciate both his art and Zatchels' craftmanship in these statement accessories.

Zatchels has also previewed another new addition to its colourful collections, the 7-inch Micro Satchel. The bag can be described as dinky in comparison to its larger siblings, with only enough room for the bare essentials - purse, phone, keys and perhaps a couple of cosmetic products. It is a minimalist accessory for a pop of colour.
