More Rock’n'Roll than Van Halen
While out shopping on Sunday afternoon we happened upon the hidden gem of Shoreditch HOSTEM.
They’ve just received their first delivery of mastermind JAPAN 2010 Fall/Winter. The overall range looks pretty darned amazing but we’ve showcased our fave bits here for you. The quality of some of these pieces is second to none. Not sure about the velvet fur gilet though.
All are available now in-store at HOSTEM, however their site should be up and functional soon to allow overseas and “where’s Shoreditch?” purchases.

Topman Stylissimo
We caught up last week with the National Topman Stylist/Personal Shopping Manager Terry-James Lynch for a bit of a chin wag about a great style secret, the Topman Stylist Service. This is available in store on the recently opened second floor of Topman Oxford Circus, London. Once booked in a personal stylist will discuss and help you pick out the best outfits for you and your 2010 budget.
New York, New Fork, Reah Tok… customers in the US of A can take advantage of this service at the Topman store on Broadway NY.
Terry has been working hard with Topman Oxford Circus’ in house stylists to make this service as relaxed and helpful as possible. He also throws a rather damn fine party at Punk as well. He won’t even be mad if you turn up in something he’s already wearing. Anyhow;
Q1: Who are your personal style icons?
I have to say I don’t really have anybody that I look up to enough to call a style icon as I get bored very quickly with looks/trends and change my style maybe a little to much. I would say that Sean combs (P Diddy) is always immaculately dressed and right now I have my eye on NYPC (New Young Pony Club). They are a great band and all have an interesting fresh look. I look forward to meeting them very soon!
Q2: What’s your favourite suit in the current Topman range?
That’s a no brainer theirs an amazing light grey shawl collar skinny fit suit from the new Topman Ltd range that I have my eye on.
Q3: What do you predict to be the main trends for S/S 2010?
Well I got some words that I think will sum up with I will be wearing/doing: Two toned, skinny fit, flesh showing, tailored, fitted, smart, relaxed, chic and no hassle!
Q4: What are your favourite trainers/sneakers of all time?
Well I live in Converse, think they are a must have for everybody really. Right now I like colourful flytops from Nike… Love a high top with a skinny jean or smart trouser, the way forward!
Q5: How would I go about arranging a Topman Style Advisor appointment?
Call one of my stylists on: 0207 927 0155 or email us at topmanstylists@topman.com. For more information about the service you can visit Topman.com and look under Topman Sylist.
Harrods Winter Sale – Save The Date
A fairly non-incredible Amanda Holden has been cast to open the pantomime that has come to be known as the Harrods Winter Sale. The blonde presenter of Britain’s Got Talent will be on show at Door 5, 10am if you really wish to get a glimpse of her – otherwise, on a more related note, Harrods are offering up to 50% off across the sale.
Keep an eye on this Harrods link for updates on the full preview list prior to attending.
Topman ‘Best’ Range
Topman have recently released a small and fairly unheard of range known as ‘Topman Best’. The range consists of no more then eight key pieces, all of which are tops. The key premise behind this range is pretty self-explanatory, they have transformed everyday plains t-shirts and granddads into something that bit more special. Detailing on the cuffs and sleeves is a welcome addition and each top seems to fit perfectly. Read more…
