New Autumn winter 2012 Fashion Rules

-


While trawling the vintage shops of Shoreditch I uncovered the key trends for autumn/winter 2012. Read on and discover what you need to wear in the coming months if you wish to retain credibility amongst your fashion forward friends and colleagues.

 
































Prison orange colour blocking










Kim Kardashion has taken a break from being a dirty slut from a family of fame hungry whores. The memory of a sex video has long since been replaced instead by hundreds of images of her posing like a greased up oversexed baby seal. I digress... Remember her (deceased) lawyer father who famously defended OJ Simpson for that double murder. The racism defence was born and America lost 100 years of civil advancements in the blink of one jury verdict; a proud day. This last detail is being cleverly subverted by Kim when she decided to make prison orange a la mode. She's a fashion genius subverting her family connections to the darkest side of American celebrity by wearing the brightest symbol of oppression. The orange prison jumpsuit; an A/W12 essential.


 
80's space cadet



Retro future fashion was so 80s and 80s are so now, so 80s retro future fashion is a recurring Teenies trend. For A/W12 this is specifically 'space cadet' drawing on the volunteer London vibe set in the summer. If it sounds like designers and fashion writers make it all up as they go along then you're a philistine. It's a precise, proper dead clever science thingy. Or else why would these people go to school, right? Anyway, check out the picture and think how silly you'll look if you're the only single mum in Asda not wearing silver hotpants with a ray-gun holster.


 







Quadruple denim



Double denim in a pair-some or a lonesome in memory of our modern day Liz Taylor and whassisface? You know 'Brustin' or was it 'jitney'. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. That's them. Denim crusaders and so ahead of their time. This trend (unlike the doomed romance) is back and 'One more time' you can feel so 'lucky' getting a chance to bring 'sexy back'.


See the mini gallery for all the lovely ways you too can pay homage to the greatest love affair of our age.

 





Relative skin








In an enviro-conscious age Fashion keeps pace. With Stella Macartney's prehistoric father still hanging on in at the fringes of what we call 'alive', the debate about what to do with old knackered leather is more relevant than ever. Stella's solution is to make corpse couture from your nearest and dearest.






Rumours are that the pieces pictured were made with spare Daddy Macartney skin after his last neck lift.








The 'Ian' look.





Not since Pat Butcher's ear bling has EastEnders been able to claim sartorial relevance. But now there's a new kid sleeping rough on the block and he just put the 'eek' back into chic. Albert square mainstay, Ian Beale was described by Marc Jacobs as 'a breath of stale, rancid air' and 'the new body ideal for men'. Hobo haute Couture hasn't been this hot since one of the Olsen twins did smack wearing a Parker. The look can be accessorised by 'piss stains', 'bruises with small cuts' and 'card board signs'.


Leering from behind trees is optional.



















Crochet Cool



Now fashion consumers are outwitting fashion leaders by learning to knit. The fashion elite have cleverly made wool and knitted clothes passé (The memo will be delivered later this week). But wool is an essential winter staple and a replacement had to be found. As most people in the fashion industry have little to no body fat the winter time can be tough so a substitute, preferably designer, body fat replacement needs to be sourced. Crocheting has yet to be mastered by fashionistas unlike the passé act of knitting. So therefore it can still be sold to them enriching the fashion elite. Hurrah for innovation! Thoughtfully the fasion elite are kind folk insuring their skinny consumers are safe from developing pneumonia. Future trend alert: Pneumonia is expected to be a big A/W 2013 trend if consumers learn to crochet.
















Trouser Shorts


Fashion is fickle and designers are reactionary. These two statements of certain, god-given, unquestionable fact mean that a trend today will be toppled by an equal and opposite fashion trend tomorrow. Short-shorts favored by haute couture fashionista Joey Essex will be replaced, as sure as Lagerfeld will offend Fatties, buy long shorts. Shorts that are in essence 'trousers'. But not trousers. Very trouser-like shorts. But not trousers, ok? Understood? Good. They will be de-rigeur and an absolute must have in November. Failure to comply will result in enforced social isolation and maybe even government sanctioned torture.








Fashion 'rules' are fashion 'laws' in A/W 2012.


























Be sure to be on the right side of the law.

My Gay Inspiration

      I am inspired by many great people and consider myself relatively well informed historically. I however am often at a loss to find a comprehensive history of major Gay historical figures. This is simply because from the start of the Christian era homosexuality has been frowned upon in most cultures of the world. It has been criminalised, ignored, wiped from the record and in some cases eradicated or imprisoned. Horrifically, after the Jews were liberated from the concentration camps of Nazi Germany many homosexuals forced to wear the pink triangle (pictured above) were re-imprisoned in Allied prisons. Because of this persecution and because of the ‘lost history’ I wanted to highlight three homosexuals who I believe have had a positive, lasting and inspiring effect on the world, (and me).        Alan Turing    Staying with WW2 and our battle with the Nazis I want first to look at a quiet mathematician from Maida Vale. During the Second World War at Bletchley Park we as a nation we

A Minty Guide to Paris

       I’ve always said ‘I like Starbucks, but I wouldn’t want to work there’. This Robert-ism is meant to illustrate the idea that working somewhere, like living somewhere, can erode the magic or mystique of a place. Sometime it’s better just to visit rather than stay. I am not in fact a massive fan of Starbucks for the record and only say this little ditty to make my point clear. I am however a massive fan of Paris and think that this could be a great place to live, not just visit. If I didn’t already love London so much I think I’d be looking for small flats around the fifth arrondissement of Paris otherwise known as the Latin Quarter. Given I now think I am an expert on the city (you can be the judge) I would like to present you my guide to Paris.      Firstly, if you are travelling by Eurostar you will find yourself in the not-so-great Gare du Nord Station. Get this bit over quickly and avoid being accosted by strangers. Thieves, (usually Eastern European) expect you to be a littl

Family Circle Fan Letter

     Dear Sir or Madam,        I am so excited to be writing to you. I really like the ‘clickity’, ‘clackity’ noise of the keyboard under my finger tips. However, I am surprised it’s not more of a ‘thub’, ‘thub’ sound because my keyboard is full of biscuit crumbs. I like your biscuits so much it makes me sad to think there might be a whole biscuits worth of crumbs hiding under the letters on my keyboard. In fact this is my reason for writing this letter today. Simply put, your biscuits are the best. They are one of the things that make me happy to come to work because my boss likes buying us biscuits for when we do well at stuff. I do well at stuff all the time so I can get more biscuits.     I hate to have favourites because I think it shows favouritism and can make people sad. But biscuits aren’t people so it’s ok to have a favourite and my favourite biscuit is the Happy Face one. If biscuits were like people and had feelings I wouldn’t tell them because I like all the others too, an
