From Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Vivienne Westwood to the more experimental looks of club kids, punks, and mods, Britain consistently produces some of the most interesting fashion in the world. And each year, more than 30 universities and fashion programs from all over the United Kingdom convene in London to present their top graduates' work at a four-day runway-show extravaganza. Students compete for the gold medal (this time, it went to Bath Spa University's Chloe Jones) and in categories like womenswear, textiles, knitwear, and accessories. We sent a photographer to capture some of the street fashions outside of the festivities. Click ahead to see a fair amount of acid wash, tons of unidentifiable vintage, animal bags, spiky baseball hats, and more.

Kate Moss Going For Gold


Kate Moss has been in the industry for so long that it often seems she is one of the originals. Let’s take her Vogue covers, for example. With the latest one for June 2012 issue of Vogue UK, the British supermodel has 32 of those. Sounds incredible, but it’s true.
Kate Moss, who covers the June 2012 issue of Vogue UK dedicated to the upcoming Olympics, which will be hosted by Great Britain in July, wears a sexy and stylish Versace mini dress. A pair of unusual earrings, red lips and cute blond locks finish her look perfectly.

Inside the June 2012 edition of Vogue UK Kate Moss models clothing by other reputable brands, including Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci. Accessories are huge and statement.

Kate Moss isn’t the only person to pose for colorful pages of Vogue UK June 2012 issue. Arizona Muse, Helena Bonham Carter, Damon Albarn, Edie Campbell, Tom Hardy are just a few of those who were lucky to appear in the glossy.


The Rising Star 'Kingsley Ushie'



Extraordinary but legend in the making that’s all we can say about this young and talented man Kingsley Ushie.
From Cross Rivers State Nigeria, born and raised in Lagos with wonderful talent both on the runway and sketching of designs.

Today our model focus is on Kingsley “The rising star” just 19 but he has carved a niche   for himself after the Arise Magazine Fashion Week in Lagos Nigeria. Who would have thought  this multi-talented  young man  who came to Arise as an observer will get this far in such a short period of time. However, he walked the ramp with the likes of Sebastian Sauve, Dudley and other super models who were present at the event.
@AMFW 2012

Call him 19 but I can bet you that this lil wiz can make the fashion industry in Nigeria vibrant with his sketches.
Kingsley started sketching in 2011 after his elder sister bought a fabric and no ides of what to do with it, young Kinsley came to her rescue only if her sister will pay him N200 to get Noodles, after that sketch, advice started coming from his family and loved ones.
Thanks to his sister for bringing that fabric called “Ankra”. Since then Kingsley has about 500 hundred sketches in his kitty.

Signed with Isis Models this young man is ready to rule his world.  Hopefully we can see him on the ramps of London, New York, Paris, Johannesburg and Cape Town and come in August we hope to see him in London at the Africa Fashion Week London.
Moreover, we say Africa is the world’s next destination.
