Georgia Hardinge AW16

"Hidden" by Georgia Hardinge holds true to its title by applying lenticular techniques, the method in which an image is revealed when seen at certain angles. Within the pleats of her structurally splendid collection, Hardinge conceals a galaxy of stars. As the models explore the presentation space, the audience is teased with glimpses of the cosmic prints, made with metallic foils to reflect a meteor shower. The astronomical theme runs also in the collection's colour palette, utilising those colours seen in nebulas and the night sky.

Fyodor Golan AW16

Combining digital print and expressive design, Fyodor Golan once again deliver a collection that is admittedly out of the ordinary, however playful and wearable. The BFC Showspace atop Brewer Street Car Park, fitted with the brightest spotlights, provides a greying industrial backdrop in stark contrast to the vivid splashes of colour parading up and down the runway.

For their AW16 collection, Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman sought inspiration from artist Nicole Wermers, whose installations explore the appropriation of art and design in modern consumerism. In much the same way, Fyodor Golan adopts two distinct yet equally iconic images, Coca Cola and Boticelli's masterpiece "The Birth of Venus", which are then intermixed with vibrant - sometimes lurid - colours, metallics, clashing patterns and contrasting textures. Beautifully muddled, this collection draws on the designer duo's fine art origins.

Three-Piece

A sharp outfit without a sharp hairdo is as unthinkable as gin without tonic. It's therefore no wonder I rarely leave my flat at the weekend without a stiff quiff in my coiffure. Every six to eight weeks, however, I place the all-important responsibility of re-arranging my hair in the capable hands of Joe, my barber, who works at the new Marylebone branch of Ruffians. Never quite achieving the same look at home, I prize the days I have my hair cut, knowing I look my very best when I exit the Edinburgh-born barbers.

Skopes three-piece suit c/o House of Fraser | ASOS shirt | Next tie | Glasses c/o Silhouette

This weekend, my freshly cut short-back-and-sides was the perfect complement to my new favourite suit from House of Fraser. Not needing to don anything especially smart during the week, I look forward to the moments I can dress up for no other reason than that I fancy looking fancy. My friends say I should dress up every weekend, and I'm finding it hard to disagree with them. For me, there's no better ego boost than dressing well.

Delivering a style that fits my awkwardly tall and skinny build is my biggest challenge when choosing a suit, but I'm beyond delighted with this three-piece by Skopes. It fits so perfectly - broad shoulders, long legs and all - I almost forget it's off-the-peg. I equally love the metallic sheen in the charcoal fabric that detracts from the preconception of a dull grey suit. House of Fraser describes this three-piece as a "dinner suit", but I'm happier wearing it for a wander about town than a night on the town, married with my beloved Jeffery West boots and a Heart & Dagger herringbone overcoat.

Tabl at Clerkenwell London

Beyond this blog, another of my greatest passions is food - specifically the cooking and devouring of said food. Admittedly I don't share much of my foodie habits on my social channels, I suppose because I don't have the desire to flatlay and photograph every meal in front of me, however pretty it may look on my plate. Also, because I'm far too busy shoveling it into my face.

That being said, I'm all for feeding my food porn addiction with a little blogging of my own. Last week, I along with a guest list of food bloggers and dining enthusiasts were invited to an exclusive event in Central London, headed by supper club start-up Tabl. Set against the stylish backdrop of Clerkenwell London, a luxury fashion and lifestyle store on Farringdon Road, guests were introduced to delicious food and drink from various new and exciting brands. Among my favourite discoveries of the evening were spiced chocolate from Cocoa Hernando, beautiful canapés by 698b Supper Club, and the delectable Brighton Gin, served - if not rather quaintly - with a stick of rock. With plenty to be had, thank goodness for my extraordinary metabolism.
