VERSACE VERSACE VERSAILLES

I spent some time at the magnificent Château de Versailles and I have no words. Quite 'simply' the most mind-boggling display of opulence and utter human megalomania I've ever witnessed. Obviously I loved every crystal-encrusted, gold-wrought inch of it. If it takes people hours and several blisters to get across your lawn, you know you're a boss. Hashtag Ancien Régime realness.

Immi XIV wore a blazer by H&M, shirt by Zata, jeans by Levi's, clutch by Dries Van Noten and shoes by Les Hommes.

KID CHARIFFE

Meet Chariffe Greaves. On social media he goes by the name of Reefy and he first struck me with THAT FACE in late 2013, when I reblogged a picture of his on Tumblr. It didn't say his name, so when I haphazardly came across it this week I made sure to take stock. He hails from London with a twist of Barbadian/Guyanese blood. As a semi-Caribbean myself I couldn't not give this kid a proper plug, right? He's already done great work at London Fashion Week for labels such as Astrid Andersen (where he killed everyone's weave game), Christopher Raeburn and Kit Neale. He's only turning 20 this week, but I predict big things for this one. #REEFYBABY

LEGS FOR DAZE

I've always felt particularly self-conscious about my lanky stick legs. I can't count the amount of times I have picked at them and cried: "If I were woman, these legs would make me the next Nadja Auermann!". But to no avail, I was still me and didn't have 'desirable' beefy man limbs. So imagine my delight upon seeing the Juun J show for next season: oodles of wisp-thin boy legs! These pins had me in a daze. Normally, runway shows don't make you feel much better about your body but I'm glad that this one kind of did. Micro shorts, bulky tops, boots and boxy clutches it is!
