MAAIKE MEKKING AW10

I was very interested to see what Maaike Mekking came up with this season and to be honest she really did pull out some surprises.

Her presentation which was held right away in the heart of Central London was very interesting indeed. Placing a model in a secluded ground building with nothing but clothes and mirror to give the illusion that she was in her own bedroom and she's choosing what to wear. Firstly I have to say the model was amazing, it's rare to find such talent who is a true artist. She worked the clothes from layering them on top of each other whilst wearing them to actually wrapping a dress around her hand like a towel!

"FASHION DEACON-STRUCTION"

JOURNALISTS vs BLOGGERS

Blogging has existed ever since the time when internet became mainstream, but we have only began to gain exposure. Many big corporations and fashion houses out there now acknowledge that blogging is the future, technology is the way forward and the single most quickest way to get a story out to the public... is by blogging.

There are millions of bloggers out there who blog every single day, many of them multiple times a day and we don't do it because we have been told to, we do it because we want to. No one pays me to sit on my sorry arse all day just to write something about them on my blog, I only write what I feel deserves to be written about on my blog. Countless emails from PR's every single day but I choose what I want to mention because this is MY personal space and in MY own time. My writing style is probably very different to a lot of blogs out there because I do not draft a copy before I post. It's very no holds barred and I write exactly what I am thinking in that precise moment just as I would be talking to somebody face to face. It may make people laugh, or it even may offend certain people, but this is me. There are no barriers with Ozzy, I write my own and honest opinion.

During LFW, I felt a backlash against bloggers. It wasn't only me but many other blogger friends of mine have felt this way and we have discussed it countless amount of times that journalists often look down upon us. At one show that I was invited to, I was seated front row next to a journalist, "What is it that you do?" She asked. I replied very politely saying "My name's Ozzy and I have a fashion blog called We Scream Style". She had then flipped out asking the PR why I was seated front row and that if he could possibly move me, the PR saved my arse and replied, "Well if there is a problem I can move you instead." Even when the bloggers would to go to the press lounge within Somerset House we were given some nasty looks, looks of disapproval, looks of disgust, like we were nothing.

I appreciate some journo's out there have worked all their lives and many of them have qualified as journalists with degree's and all of a sudden students who blog are getting as much recognition as they are. But all I wanted to say to those journo's who look down on us for no reason is... FUCK YOU. There are tons of journalists out there who j'adore blogs and bloggers and recognise the importance of bloggers within todays society but for all of you evil, nasty, low life, self loathing, obese piece of scum journalists who look down on bloggers I only have one thing to say to you.... GET YOUR UGLY HEADS OUT OF YOUR ARSES AND LOOK WHERE YOUR GOING BECAUSE US BLOGGERS ARE HERE TO STAY AND WE WILL MILK EVERY LITTLE RECOGNITION WE GET BECAUSE WE DESERVE EVERY LITTLE OUNCE OF IT!

Rant Over! :) x

MUM, I WANT A CHANEL

"All women carry are cell phones" declared Karl Lagerfeld. That is quite true Karl, every woman I know on this raving planet carries a cell phone. So why not gift your mother a beautiful Chanel mobile phone & credit card holder this May for Mothers day?

When I saw these oh so j'adorable holders I jizzed ever so slightly. My first thought to myself was... Fuck my mum, I want one for myself! These beauts are in available in store as of this May 2010.

Oh and don't ask the price because that is such a silly question!

ALL HAIL PING PONG

People say fashion is a religion, which for some it is. You may think fashion and food can never go together but believe me you could never be further away from the truth.

If fashion is a religion then Ping Pong dim sums are like the bread for communion and the cocktails are like the red wine. I still rant and rave about Ping Pong because it is one place in London I cannot get enough of. The whole relaxed atmosphere, amazing food, cocktails and chilled out music really makes you feel like a real life Gossip Girl or even a member of SATC. I know this is going to sound so strange but I totally feel this every time I enter a Ping Pong restaurant. It's like putting on a sexy Alexander McQueen outfit, you instantly feel a lot more confident, sexy and ready to go; Eating in a Ping Pong restaurant gives you exactly the same feeling. You feel cool, sexy and important and the best thing is, it's still very affordable!

Ping Pong have just released their brand new menu which I have tried and trust me it is absolutely gorgeous! Everything from Prawn, Chicken or Vegetarian, Ping Pong can cater to all your needs so you really do not have to worry about any problems with your food.

Below are some images of the new dishes which are now on the menu. Try 'em out!

LFW: SELFRIDGES-PARTY OF THE YEAR

On Tuesday night, Selfridges had hosted a party in their Wonder room to celebrate the Alice Temperley collection and amazingly enough, it was the Alice in Wonderland theme.

Once you got there, you were greeted by two bunny rabbits you were handing out sexy playing cards and to get into the party you walked through a tunnel (the only time in my life I actually felt like Alice) it was pretty amazing. As soon as you entered, you were welcomed by an open bar of cocktails and retro music that would make anyone let their hair down! It was full of London socialites, fashionistas and party people who meant something... This was a party you knew that was going to be big.

Selfridges always seems to amaze me, it could be their art deco, collections within the store or even the sheer effort that the PR team actually put into hosting such an amazing event! I dread to think how much all this would have even cost... eek!

Later on through the night, the band New York Pony Club performed and I have to say this is one band you do NOT want to fuck with! They were totally and utterly awesome! Trust me, the only beats that ever make me dance in my sad and lonely life are either by Britney Spears or Lady 'Manwhore' Gaga, but this band just made me want to push every fashionsita aside and make me want to dance like a loony! The whole time they performed everyone was just there busting their hottest moves!

I got chatting to a few industry insiders and met a bunch of really cool people! The night was quite amazing but my highlight of the night was probably meeting Lily Russo from Grazia Magazine! She is totally j'adorable and we had a bit of a banter at the bar about her gorgeous knitted Pringle top. You can see the picture below, I want to actually look like her one day!

Overall, it was an amazing night and want to thank Selfridges for inviting me. A great way to finish of LFW and hopefully there will be many more to come!

LFW: BURBERRY AW10

Christopher Bailey's rendition of the classic Burberry girl is one of the reasons why he still seems to me as the best British designer that lives today. A fellow Yorkshire-man like myself, I feel proud to hail from the same part of town as he does. Even though I didn't get to go to the Burberry show, it is one show I am always looking forward too.

As Burberry goes live 3D across the world, it has proven itself to be one of, if not THE most revolutionary brands that has ever existed. I have immense respect for Burberry and it still is my dream to hopefully work there one day! (I can always dream I guess).

We saw aviator jackets, buckled arms, khaki and navy military jackets and coats which could be entirely detached with a zip. I personally LOVED the sheep lining and will make sure I purchase a jacket with one, when they hit the stores. The Burberry dresses and pencil skirts were absolutely breath taking and would definitely look j'adorable with the sexy aviator boots! This is classic femininity with a modern twist, the great genius that is Christopher Bailey is one man who knows the female silhouette better than the actual woman does!

LFW: ADA ZANDITON AW10

I really don't want to say this, but I was quite dissapointed at the Ada Zanditon show. There was nothing really new and exciting, the whole show was very badly organised and was far too overcrowded for anyone to really enjoy the whole experience.

Ada who is a LCF graduate, was one of the hotly anticipated, new and young designers that Vogue.com had recommended to look out for, but to be fair, she didn't really impress me this season. I think what Zanditon had forgotten for a second was that this isn't a CSM graduate show, this is LFW. She really needed to step up her game to entice the buyers and press, so for me I wasn't at all turned on by anything that walked down the runway.

LFW: LOUISE GOLDIN AW10

Louise, words cannot describe how much you make me want to have a sex change right this moment and straight after my operation I just run out of the hospital in my overalls and go purchase my first Louise Goldin dress.

Ever since this Central Saint Martins graduate came onto the London fashion scene, she has definitely caused a massive outcry... Due to the many women probably going bankrupt right now! Her latest collection seems to me as very Balenciaga meets Alexander McQueen. I'm loving every piece that came down the catwalk, quite possibly the best show in London so far.

Everything about the looks are just amazing, the sheer dark colours and structured garments alongside the flat hair and smokey eyes just give the models that sexy and powerful London bitch image.

J'adore!

LFW : VIVIENNE WESTWOOD RED LABEL

I shall have to be very honest, I j'adore a bit of Viv, but when I went to her SS10 collection back in September I left extremely disappointed. Her previous collection was rather dull, dated and to be honest it's something I had seen before so nothing took me aback.

However, this season was entirely different. Westwood totally raised her game, in my opinion, with lots of vibrant colours, fits and shapes with a touch of frills and cute dresses to give the collection that feminine touch. I was glad to see that this season Westwood toned down the whole "celeb catwalking" tradition as I feel it's something that's not necessary. Last season was overdone with Lisa from Big Brother appearing on the catwalk and also Pixie Geldof. But I was still a tad dissapointed when I saw a picture of Pixie on the runway.

I have very strong opinions of Pixie and firmly believe that the entire Geldof family are the vermin of society and will one day ruin our entire fashion scene. Pixie is not a socialite, she is not a cool fashion kid, and she is certainly not a catwalk model. So why the fuck use her? Urgh.

Anyways, overall for me the whole collection seemed to be amazing. I've always had faith in Viv and she's proved to me why she is the greatest British fashion designer of all time. Purely because she is so unique. I just totally love the way she uses trends and mixes them in her own individual style.

A job well done Viv!
