Miguel - Candles In The Sun

Beautiful visuals by Miguel... A great song 

MAN LIKE ME - Sleaze

Loving Man Like Me's new offering "Sleaze" shot in Rankin's studio (Ahhh the dance moves). Looks like 2013 maybe theirs,  they seem to have gained a lot more fans / popularity / visibility in the last year and rightfully so. Excited for the release of their album in March - they will also be playing a few shows up and down UK so be sure to catch them in your town. 

Check out their Facebook for tour dates - Man Like Me Tour Dates

P.s I really want those pillows!

Jessie Ware - Sweet Talk

Roses Gabor - Stars

I have been a fan of Roses since she featured in Shy Fx's video for "Raver",  she has been around for a while and has lended her vocals to the likes of SBTRKT and the much loved Redlight. I can't stop listening to 'Stars' she really is on her way up and when she expressed her interest in my sister's head-wear recently, my love for her was completely cemented. I can't wait to see her in MBlaque and for those of you who haven't seen or heard of MBlaque watch this space and check out some of the pieces for AW12 after the break. In the meantime enjoy Roses official first solo offering.

Azealia Banks - Mermaids Ball

       

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am the biggest groupie for Azealia Banks she is my breathe the music industry has been shoveling some of the most mind numbing, dumbed down pieces of crap and labeling it music. With lyrics, song composition and visuals just being.... eugh I could go on forever (like I have befoof fresh air! Her song "1991" takes me to the happiest place, which no other musician has done in a long time. I had actually begun to give up on anything post - 2006 because lets be honestre) but let me not go of course. Azealia is a very talented young woman and I am excited to see what more she has to offer.

In fact I am actually a bit upset at the moment because I am going to miss the infamous Mermaid's Ball show, she will be hosting and playing at the sea aquarium here in London 13th October. If you haven't got a ticket get one if they are still available it will be AH - MAZING! If not, like me you can just enjoy her new visuals for her singles "Luxury" and "1991" of her EP  "Fantasea"

     

Great Gatsby

It was exactly a year ago when I posted about "The Season Of Gentry" on the 21st of this month and sure enough yesterday (The 22nd) the trailer for the movie "The Great Gatsby" was released.  I have already created a montage of my favourite looks which I have embedded above, can you feel the excitement?

I have watched it six times in counting and I am even more super anxious for Autumn / Winter '12 to arrive  now that it has got me out of my blogging hibernation! Now I know Summer only arrived today in the UK so before you start making blasphemous comments keep your cap on and hear me out! 

I'm not only excited about the release of the film, I am also excited because of the beautiful menswear pieces that will be re-discovered and appreciated once again. One brand in particular that I hope will make it's mark come A/W "12  is Marwood headed by the beautiful Becky French. Her tie's, bow- ties, scarves and pocket squares are beautifully crafted and all produced in England (which very rare nowadays), all round I think she is a genius there is no doubt about that. However I maybe biased, so I have included images of some of  her SS '12  and "Classic Lace"collection  below so you can decide for yourself. Also check out her blog it's definitely one of my favourites http://marwooduk.blogspot.co.uk/ - The Gatsby trailer is after the break.

Man Like Me - Squeeze

So Man Like Me are making big waves now I hear...I don't want to share.... but it's good that they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. With a little help from one of my favourites Mr "A Grand Don't Come For Free" they have now become one of Dj Annie Mac's favourites.

With Johnny Like dressed as a East London Vodoo warrior and Peter dressed as cowboy priest running around an estate looking for virgin prey? You could say their video for their single "Squeeze" is beyond DIFFERENT but it makes me giggle and I love this song it's officially on my summer playlist. Have a listen though and let me know whether you agree? 

HAPPY SUMMER PEOPLE!

Iggy Azalea - The last song

The world of music and fashion have been intertwined since well... forever and this new female artist Iggy Azalea is about to storm both worlds this year. An internet sensation, Australian born Iggy's music video's have gone viral and has already drummed up a lot of buzz.

They say she's the next Nicki Minaj... I disagree though both are female's are rappers and are heavily addicted to "fashion" I much prefer Iggy's sense of style. The one to watch for 2012.

MAN LIKE ME - Peculiar

Waking up to a sunny morning, with no sign of 700mph hour gale force winds, emails of SS12 previews and this song continually on repeat in my head - just reminded me that my favourite season Spring is round the corner and Summer is not to far behind YES!

"Young Souls" By Dean Chalkley

Last Thursday was all about the celebration of the Northern Soul Movement at the Bethnal Green Working Man's Club - with the exclusive screening of Dean Chalkley's short film "Young Souls" presented by 125 Magazine being shown to a select group of industry folks, cast members, competition winners and northern soul fanatics.

Myself and Mr Koziel made our way to the heart of Bethnal Green and walked straight back into 60's Britannia, there were alot of impressive moves from both young and mature dancers - I think I've been converted plus the short film was amazing! if you would like to check out what the party was like you should head over to 125's facebook page and check out the photo's!

Crooks And Castles 2011 Catalog Shoot

Behind the scenes of Crooks & Castles photo-shoot for their 2011 catalog - I remember when I used to cruise karmaloop years ago thinking their clothing was so effortlessly street-cool. Still very relevant, have had a look at the A/W'11 collection looks quite good. Crooks & Castles still effortlessly cool.
