From Somewhere: Spring/Summer 2012

How perfect are these summer dresses ‘From Somewhere’?!

The principle behind this label seeks to answer a simple question: What happens to the fashion industry’s waste? – The answer is the bin, then landfills and then the incineraters. It is extremely wasteful and destructive, afterall ours is a precious earth. Luckily, From Somewhere creates sustinable fashion from these luxury designer cut offs, unwanted, discarded but still perfectly good.

Beautiful, poetic, and ethical.

A Unif Daydream: Spring 2012

Style Icon: Marianne Faithful

Singer/songwriter, actress and muse. Marianne Faithful was the original wild girl of rock. She has been a style icon and respected musican for decades (her fashion sense most famously mimiced by the likes of Kate Moss). Today you would probably class Faithful’s style as ‘rock chic’, I adore it for her originality and effortlessness.

The young star was Mick Jagger’s girlfriend for five years in the late sixties, and according to rock legend inspired some classic Stones songs (‘you can’t always get what you want’ and ‘lets spend the night together’ to name a few).

Faithful was always a legendary party animal, she was once found wearing nothing but a rug during a famous police search of Keith Richard’s house in 1967. But sadly, the singer fell victim to an increasing dependency on herione. By the early seventies Faithful was homeless. She spent two years living on the streets of London. It’s the sort of tragic story that often comes with fame and rock n’ roll.

Luckily for us, Marianne was able to recover, few stars from the sixties have reinvented themselves as successfully as her.
