Today I thought I’d put a different twist on the Filippa K Spring/Summer 2012 collection that I was sent a little while back. Since it was given to me in scrapbook form it’s stuck with me in my mind, particularly over the last month as fashion weeks all over the world have taken hold of the internet.

We’ve been hard at work again, this time getting together for an interview with Yasar Ceviker of Munich based clothing label A Kind of Guise.
