Up and coming Swedish design duo release a divine yet offbeat fresh collection

Jojo and Malou's graphical and illustration skills have always been in high demand, with past creative collaborations including Japanese Nylon and dazed and confused prints for Elle. With their quirky and surreal new line we can understand why...it's fairy tale chic to the max, inspired by none other than Alice in Wonderland. Melting clocks and diamond cat illustrations create an unconventional twist to everyday garments yet make them completely in-tune with this seasons style. The two designers met eight years ago during an art foundation at the Kent Institute Of Art And Design, they then went on to combine their talents to produce a collection for the renowned Fashion Fringe competition and have so far been twice awarded a new generation sponsorship to appear in London Fashion Week.

We think the twosome are set to only go further and can't wait for the far-out collaborations to hit the rails, but until they do why not pay ode to the fashion duo with a dreamlike inspired tee!

All About Moccasin Footwear

Moccasins are a type of footwear that Native Americans wore. Today, the word moccasin covers many types and styles of footwear to be paired with any designer clothing. They have become very popular, because they are more durable, stylish, than many other forms of footwear. That is why Polo Ralph Lauren and other designers create various designs for this footwear.

Modern moccasin footwear may be made out of any number of different leathers. Sheepskin moccasin slippers are the most popular type, and generally the most affordable, but deerskin, cow leather, and moose slippers are also seen regularly. Moccasin slippers are often lined with something other than the leather itself, often a sheep’s wool, but sometimes a heavy fleece or other material. This allows them to be even softer, and also helps them better absorb sweat from the foot.

Many moccasin footwear include leather laces, although these are largely ornamental, as most are not a tight enough fit to necessitate any sort of lace. Some also include leather ornamentation in the form of fringe, or even embroidery. They may come in a wide range of colors, from the natural colors of the hides they are made of, to bleached white leather, to dyed black leather, or any number of exotic artificial colors as well.

Be Wild with Animal Print Fashion

Animal prints is always in and highly glamorous that is why many designers such as Polo Ralph Lauren are encourage to use this trend for their creations.

Find out how to wear it right, and what to wear it with, weather you're a classic kind of girl or into punk fashion:

Avoid Over doing with your style: So going overboard won’t make you more fashionable. Don't try to be cute or clever by matching too many parts of an outfit; you'll look like you're trying too hard to make a fashion statement. Instead, aim for a balanced ensemble of complementary garments and accessories that look effortless.

Consider your style: Just remember to keep the look true to yourself. But restrain yourself, because animal print looks best when present only in one pattern in no more than one or two elements of an outfit. This will satisfy your inner feline, while not making you appear wilder than you actually are.

If you’re classic: Try a beautiful leopard print coat with a beautiful black dress underneath. Keep it simple with the rest of your accessories because you don’t want to overpower the rest of the look. Red lips would be incredibly sexy with this.

If you’re more of a punk-esque look: Try pairing your animal print with bright colors such as hot pink or lime green. For animal printed tops or pants, make sure you do either your top or bottom in a solid color, preferably black or beige.

Animal print can really look great on anyone. The way you wear it can be as unique as you want it to be, as glamorous as you can imagine or it can be as sassy as you are.

Be Practical with Cummerbund

A cummerbund is a broad waist sash, usually pleated, which is often worn with single-breasted dinner jackets. The modern day use of the cummerbund is as a component of the semi-formal black tie dress code. It is usually worn as an accessory waistband in men’s formal designer clothing. Cummerbunds were inspired by scarves worn around men’s clothing at the waist in India, and the first cummerbunds worn by Europeans were designed for the English military during their occupation of India.

Most commonly you’ll find this waist sash in black tie or semi-formal men’s suiting. It is usually not used with white tie formalwear, the most formal of men’s dress clothing. White tie wear tends to call for a special waistcoat instead, which would make cummerbunds awkward. For semi-formal events when men wear a tuxedo coat, matching pants, tie and dress shirt, the cummerbund may be worn to add a little flash and flair to an outfit. It can also hide the faults of the rented suit that doesn’t fit perfectly. You’ll see many a cummerbund at events like proms.

The cummerbund can be a very simple pleated sash, with either a buckle attachment or an elasticized back. Some men choose a waist sash that has lots of color, patterns or design to individualize their wearing of semi-formal clothing. While it’s fine for a cummerbund to exhibit some color, this should coordinate with the color of your tie. In fact, matching cummerbunds and ties are quite common.

Most designer in men’s formal wear fashion such as Polo Ralph Lauren is devoted to introducing new styles of cummerbunds, but if you plan to purchase one, it’s a better idea to find one that is more traditional. A red, gray, or black sash is a better choice if you’re purchasing one for more formal occasions. But if you are wearing a cummerbund for a more formal event, it’s better to choose one that is subdued in colors or pattern. For the most conservative black tie events, the pleated waist sash should be silk, not the less expensive polyester satins frequently rented with tuxedos.

Traditionally worn with a dinner suit, a cummerbund has no specific function, beyond helping the wearer to stretch the legs and even making the wearer to look taller and sleeker.
