It’sss snowwwinggg In London. Cant decide if this is a good thing or not?

Recently I worked for an amazing new menswear brand called Braille. They were featured in this weeks Timeout with me wearing one of their super cool contrast blazers. This piece is from their A/W debut named ‘A Gentle Wake’. It also has a high visibility, luminiscient waist panel (all together now, whoahh!). The designers use wool, waxed cotton and real bone buttons accompanied by unusual shapes, beautiful fabrics, and distinct individual, subtle tailoring. I am a massive fan of quality so all of these pieces are right down my street! Their online shop has only been running since October this year but I definitely recommend you take a look here  www.brailleman.com

If any of you are in London next week then I really recommend popping down for a few GandT’s and checking oiut their pop-up shop! for one week only… Also hold tight as I will be posting an interview with the creators of Braille very soon!

Soooo last night me and my five housemates trotted down to historic venue, York hall in Bethnal green to watch WHITE LIES preview their new album! It’s been a while since  this epic 3-piece (5 whilst live) released their debut album ’To Lose My Life’ in January 2009 which went to number one. Previewing their second album, ‘Ritual’, which  is set for release in January 2011, White Lies interspersed a mixture of favourites with eight unfamiliar songs. Whilst the new songs started, the crowd were quiet (maybe due to a somewhat unassuming stage presence or simply just to not relating to the material) until realising the shear skill and progression that the band have made by  jumping around and applauding crazily. It definatly seems like 2011 will be shaping up rather well for this awesome band. I loved the venue (famous for live boxing matches) for live music due to its unobstructed views, clarity of sound and White lies also had a great set of backlights which really helped the atmosphere of the room. Here’s the setlist
‘Is Love’
‘Strangers’
‘Bigger Than Us’
‘To Lose My Life’
‘Holy Ghost’
‘Peace & Quiet’
‘Unfinished Business’
‘Streetlights’
‘The Power & The Glory’
‘Bad Love’
‘Death’
‘A Place To Hide’
‘Farewell To The Fairground’ (CHOOON)

I think this picture kinda sums up how I felt….We all then drunkenly set out into the cold for a 2 minute walk to the afterparty at The Approach tavern, the rest is a bit of a blur of beer and fried chicken. Hmm.
