Kokon To Zai Store

The name Kokon To Zai, which means “east meets west” in Japanese was chosen by the store founders, Macedonian design duo Marjan Pejoski and Sasha Bezovski. The newest store can be found on Golborne Road, near Portobello Market in Notting Hill, west London. The store stocks the designers’ own labels including Pejoski and KTZ, a label designed by both Pejoski and Bezovski. Sitting alongside these are a mix of brands including Vivienne Westwood’s Anglomania, Peter Jensen, McQ by Alexander McQueen and Bernard Willhelm. Various objets d’art and macabre make for exciting visual merchandising props and double up as products for sale. A stuffed peacock keeps watch over the shop floor under the shade of a bright green parasol. Skulls, framed butterflies, antique taxidermy and quirky jewelery are carefully placed around the store. The Kokon To Zai store is a must see for any fashion or interior design fanatic...

No need to cover up your undies ladies!

Many fashion elements have emerged from the 1980s and its clear certain elements have a place in this decade and the next. The 80's was the last time we saw the shift towards lingerie as outerwear.  So it is that we see various pieces of underwear return to the fore as outerwear to feature amongst 2009 and 2010 fashion trends. In many ways i think this may become one of the ubiquitous fashion trends; one that is transseasonal, and one that emerges more as we pay fresh attention to tights and stockings as a feature piece, and not just an accessory, courtesy of the hoisery trend! The following images are taken from Christian Dior Autumn/Winter 09/10.
