can you get the h&m cardi anywhere online?

 

[Lady Bird]

I got that cardigan on the w/end. Its in the normal section (not Divided) I think. I got it at Knightsbridge store but I've seen it at other H&M stores.

I don't think it's that great to be honest. I've got a really long body and the cardigan looks really boxy. It's quite wide and short with 3/4 sleeves if that makes sense so it's not particularly flattering. I'm thinking of taking it back, but given the interest here, perhaps I can sell it on ebay!

Alexa made it look really good which annoys me!

i love the oufit, but i wish she had worn flats instead of the ankle boots- it would have been perfect!

This is it, right? http://shop.hm.com/de/shoppingwindow?dept=DAM_TRO_CAR&shoptype=S (on the 3rd page)
Although I live in the UK so can't buy online ((

It's similar, but doesn't look exactly the same to me. In that pic the stripes look much finer and it's more cream than white in real life.

I thought the exact same thing but maybe she loves her as a designer/visual artist?

I thought exactly the same thing as you isobelisobel and Diamond Sea.
It's strange....I'm confused.

The London Paper pic is pure jealousy. Cos Alexa looks fantastic!
She missed Charles Anastase but where are the Luella pics?
The Luella collection is amazing.... I'm in love.

Richard Nicoll’s A/W 09 was the most somber show I have been to this week. I know I keep on mentioning the recession but it seems relevant at LFW’s Caligulian wealth orgy and I think Nicoll’s approach was one of the few which actually seemed to take the mood of day onboard. He used greys, blacks and creams in a variety of fabrics and was never pompous. The soundtrack was classical and confident and not as wildly optimistic as everyone else’s. It seemed that there was a weird clinical vibe in the whole space, even on people’s faces; but maybe I was just tweaking on free Red Bull.

Nicoll collects celebrity fans including Chloe Sevigny, Christina Ricci and, of course, London’s indie princess, Alexa Chung – who I caught up with briefly back stage.

Vice: Oh hi TV’s Alexa Chung, how are you? What do you think of Richard Nicoll?
Alexa Chung: I’m good thank you! I really liked it. I have to report it for Harper’s so I’ve just been drawing all of this stuff. I think the shapes were quite simple, although I think in terms of stuff I would actually wear I like the see-through Mac situation. There was like a two-piece suit and gold shirt that was really nice, other than I think it’s quite feminine for me.

So quite a lot of designers this week have been really “forward thinking” in regards to an optimistic response to the recession… This show was pretty somber though.
Oh so I haven’t actually been to any other shows, do you mean in terms of people in the audience or?

No, I mean designs.
Oh, er… I guess. I think that this show was quite nun-like, kind of pilgrim with a stray eighties vibe.

I was getting clinical vibes.
Yes…

Big plans this fashion week?
I can only go to shows today and tomorrow. I am filming with Grim next week. I am going to Aquascutum, PPQ, er, Louise Goldin… y’know, all those guys. Oh, and Henry Holland.

Good choices.

[gossiping]

i reserved the cardigan in my local store apparently they said there is one in divided which is quite short? i ordered the one from the normal section though so hopefully that is right

 

[Chansons D'Amour]

Not seen this one before - it's from last September's LFW

Sounds like it. Don't think she was at House of Holland today either, so hopefully she'll have to go to Milan and Paris to research whatever she's writing

i've read herpes instead of harpers.
sorry.

that black/white vest is very nice.

 

[AnaisF]

I bought the cardigan a few weeks ago, so it's funny to see everyone go crazy over it now.
I like her outfit, but she must have been freezing!

 

[Chansons D'Amour]

I wonder why she wasn't at HOH?

 

[loverunway]

Maybe because she realised he's an awful designer!
