I've found this book - it's completely odd but full of amazing ideas for stylists ahead of the shows at London Fashion Week next week. It's by a Japanese fella called Hiroh Kikai and it's called Asakusa Portraits, published by Steidl. I came across it on my travels.
He's photographed hundreds of people over the years between the mid-Eighties to the present day - just ordinary people doing ordinary things. But it's the way they wear their clothes as they go about their daily lives that could really inspire the styling of shows next week. There are hundreds of amazing ideas in there.
It will be available in the Paul Smith shop on Floral Street, Covent Garden, from Monday.
Today I picked up the key to our Palais Royal store. See, I took a picture of it!

...Wild wuschelt sich die Wallemähne auf dem Kopf von Kate Moss. Aber hoppla! Waren ihre Haare nicht viel kürzer? Da hat die Britin wohl mit Extensions nachgeholfen. Was denken Sie über die ungebändigte Haarverlängerung des Models?
...With Robin Hood, A-Team, and Karate Kid as the last movies I have seen, I am jonesing for a romantic comedy. Knight and Day, I hope, will be my fix. This action-comedy stars the lovely Cameron Diaz and the charismatic Tom Cruise. There is no one else I would rather go on a globetrotting, double-crossing, plane crashing, close call catching, love sparking adventure then these two. See for yourself.
