Truth and illusion… who knows the difference?

One of my favourite shoe designers. Born in San Mauro Pascoli, a small town in Italy, Giuseppe began making shoes in 1985. He freelanced for footwear and clothing companies for 10 years until 1995 when he began his own line, Giuseppe Zanotti.

The fashion house of Alexander McQueen illustrates just how design brilliance doesn’t end at the ankles. Surrealism meets sophistication in these intricately designed wedges.

The crisp, but gentle flower petals curve around the edges of the leather platform creating a perfect balance between design and wearability. This creation by Sarah Burton is a true amalgamation of fashion and art.

Kew, sister brand of Jigsaw has said goodbye to its frumpy image and relaunched as Kew.159 - a contemporary womenswear retailer. The new collection has invaded all 22 stores and 29 concessions in time for the AW phase. Featuring more luxurious fabrics and detailing including merino and cashmere, the collection is set to attract younger customers looking for a fashionable, simple, good quality wardrobe. The colour palette for the AW collection is an eclectic mix reflecting the new diverse range of colours going to be used throughout the KEW.159 collections.

The prices will range from £16 for jersey items up to £230 for outerwear. However, I can assure you the prices are modest for the amount of care that goes into each item of clothing to ensure it is the greatest quality.

I have been doing work experience with Kew.159 for the past 3 weeks. A well as thoroughly enjoying myself and learning a lot, I was impressed by the care and attention to detail the staff have regarding each item of clothing. Endless hours went into making sure each garment was the correct quality, colour and fit to suit the customer.

Have a look online and pop into one of the newly refurbished shops if you get a chance, you won’t be disappointed.
