Charlotte tweaking her model

Meet Charlotte Taylor and remember that name: Charlotte Taylor.

This girl literally embodies the words dedication and talent. Don’t believe me? This is how she’s spent the past 8 months: she quit her job at Luella working in the creative marketing department, moved home to cut costs (The Isle of Wight, although she’s originally from the North of England), started a blog that documented her first foray into the business world, got chosen to be part of Vauxhall Fashion Scout and finally presented at London Fashion Week… Yes, I know… In one word: amazing. read more

TER ET BANTINE

TER ET BATINE will be showing their A/W 1o collection on Saturday the 27th of February as part of Milan Fashion Week.

The label has always had an interesting and fascinating take on femininity. The garments are undoubtedly flattering to the female form, however what makes the clothes so alluring and at the same time three dimensional is that designer Manuela Arcari manages to bring a certain sense of masculinity and strength to her creations, creating a compelling harmony between male and female shapes and silhouettes.

The show will begin at 6.30 PM, don’t miss it!

After a stressful stroll through the crowded masses of antiques and textiles that line Portobello Road in London’s Notting Hill, I came to a clearing. And there, a glistening facade of silver and black, was Wolf & Badger–also crowded, but a crowd I endured to bear witness to quite possibly the most stunning curation of innovative design I have ever seen. George Graham, the store’s Director, was so kind as to give TribaSpace an interview. read more

The family-run business continues to evolve, their direction being a younger one since Beatrice and Francesco Trussardi took over the company in 1999. Sporty suits, fun, interesting and unconventional fabric and colour choices mark their latest collections. Not to be missed.
