Stalked: Ray Noir, Manager Eleven Paris
9 December 2013
If you asked me to name my favourite shop in London, it would have to be Eleven Paris and as my regular readers will know I've blogged about these guys ALOT! So it would be totally wrong to not interview the guy behind one of my favourite shops. Please may I introduce - the truly awesome Ray!
What do you do and what's cool about your job?
I work as a store manager for the brand ELEVEN PARIS in Carnaby street. I love working with the brand as it reflects my personal style. There is a lot of opportunities in the company which is very interesting. I do a lot of events in the shop, so I am very involved with that, booking DJ's etc. together with our press office.

How I Wear My Becksondergaard
3 December 2013
I'm thoroughly obsessed with scarves and even in the summer you'll see me wearing a strappy top and, yes, a scarf - crazy I know! If you ask me it should have its own 'addiction term' - maybe scarfaholic or scarfosession?!! My latest favourite scarf brand is a Danish company called Becksondergaard. Think big, soft, large prints and fabulous colours. Check out their latest collection here.
Stalked: Emilie An Artist
2 December 2013
I find it hard to leave the house without my camera these days and lucky for me I didn't this weekend when I popped into a London art gallery and found the lovely Emilie as she wondered round peacefully in her own thoughts looking very graceful. I stalked this lady purely for her dress that she had recently had shipped over from America. Unfortunately because we were in the middle of a very quiet gallery quizzing this little fashionista on her style wasn't really the thing to do!
Stalked: Courtney, Stylist
28 November 2013
If I had to choose a person from their day job for some fashionable recommendations, it would have to be a stylist - most will agree, they are the kings and queens of being 'in the know'! Therefore, when I met the lovely Coco a successful fashion and celebrity stylist I picked her brains like no tomorrow on all things stylish!
What do you
love about being a stylist and why do you do it?
I am a creative
person… I love that every day is different. In one week I could be presenting a
tv or online show about a celebrities style, styling a shoot for a commercial
or editorial, creating idea mood boards for clients, at a model casting,
attending the launch of a new fashion collection, attending press events,
pulling clothes for shoots, researching new shoot locations, flying to
somewhere exotic for a shoot… the list is endless and keeps me excited and on
my toes and I get to work in fashion every day. It’s tough but I’m still living
the dream!
Stalked: Alex Darche, Founder of Daisy Darche
26 November 2013
Alex Darche is the talented designer behind
Daisy Darche, a family run London company, specializing in beautiful clothing
made out of their own uniquely designed
fabrics. When I say family company I really mean family company –Alex’s mother has
worked as a screen print designer for 26 years and supplied fabrics for the
likes of Matthew Williamson and Alice Temperley, to top this off she has also
been a fashion fringe finalist. Not only is this a mother daughter duo, all the
fabrics are printed by none other than Alex’s father.
I snapped the beautiful Alex on a very
rainy day in Covent Garden, before grabbing a much needed coffee to warm us up
and chin wag about her latest collections!
Where do you get your inspirations?
Life, has to be the only answer to that.
Everywhere I go I get inspired, whether it be from nature or industrial
structures – I think you keep your eyes very open when you are a designer.
What’s in store for next season?
Well I’m not going to give too much away
but I tend to not follow trends too much so will actively go against what
others are doing, so my customer will always be standing out from the crowd in
one of my designs. A hint to next season is oxblood florals!
Who are your favourite designers?
Helmet Lang, Rick Owen –I love his
leathers!
How would you describe your personal style?
I like to wear black and prints, simple
with a splash of colour or a statement piece.
When you’re not designing what do you do?
I’m a real yoga bunny! Theatre and music I
love, and travelling all these inspire my designs so much – for instance a trip
to Ibiza inspired my to produce the craziest colours and prints for a past
seasons collection.
