Ayo van Elmar is a Vienna based Designer, who originates from Lagos, Nigeria. She studied at University of applied arts Vienna and started her label in 2010.
I saw her designs for the first time at London Fashion Week. I loved her idea of putting incense sticks on her models' heads. It looked very beatiful with the smoke rising from the models heads and it smelled good.
Please excuse the quality of my pictures, I was standing in the far back.

SWEATER BETTER!






Sweaters: Dalia von Wegen
Jeans: Topshop
T-Shirt: Meadham Kirchhoff for Topshop


I made two identical sweaters in two different colours last semester (don't worry that's not all I made). I've been too lazy to take pictures of them, because I had noone to take pictures of me and I forgot that my mum has a tripod, which I now successfully stole off her. I am hungry. I'm going to eat now. Bye.

Ps.: I'm so into prints!

This feels like ages ago (let's be honest, it has been weeks). This also was the first major show I've ever been to. I've been to a couple of smaller shows before, but never a show of this hugeness, with all those important (or seemingly) important people.
I could nearly touch the fabrics, but I had to hold my camera, so I obviously didn't.

However, this is not stuff I'd wear (except for the blue suit) but still adore. Paul Smith is a master of Fashion and his clothes, unlike so many other male designer clothes, don't feel sexist or deminishing towards women to me. I have a problem with a lot of male designers who make womenswear. How can you make womenswear when you don't understand what it means to be a woman? I don't know. Nontheless, I think Meadham Kirchhoff make a great job of that. But they care for feminism. They make those quirky, doll-like, cute clothes, but you're still a woman, a strong woman in them. Unlike almost everyone else.

I prefer women who make womenswear. Gotta be honest. Still, Paul Smith, I like your style!
