Valentina in THTC

Today, it’s Valentina! This dynamic and stylish dancer wears a THTC upcycled top which you can buy at the Very Nice Threads online shop.

Valentina was in London briefly for a rest before setting off again to tour with Protien Dance Company. The company won a National Dance Awards for the Critics’ Circle Best Independent Dance Company last year and continue to push the boundaries of contemporary dance. Here’s a short film about the production ‘LOL (lots of love)’ which they took to the Middle East.

Stylin’ in the mornin’

Do you look this good in the morning? Gents, this is what you must aspire to. None of this scruffy, can’t by arsed to shave or put on a clean shirt business.

Mostly though I love these moccasin boat shoes. I’m on a mission to find the most sustainable ones, ideally made here in the UK as we are a sailing nation — a seafaring island, no?

Meanwhile back in Londontown | Phannatiq Green Label


Looks like Phannatiq has found a fan in London R&B singer Alexandra Burke. Burke wears Phannatiq’s leggings in her new music video ‘Let It Go’. The leather pannelled leggings are from the upcoming Autumn/Winter 12-13 collection and were a hit at Paris Fashion Week where the collectio made its debut. I feel the same way about Phannatiq as I did about Banksy before Angelina Jolie bought up his entire collection. Which is why I’ve decided to take on this Phannatiq’s Green Label. Here are two new editions for you to check out. If I were a betting woman …

This is the recycled 90s crop with the ladder sleeves which I adore. It’s a size 6. I’m thinking it’s a sexy layer for those not-quite-hot-yet summer nights. For retro 90s look, pair with leggings and doc martens. Buy it from the Very Nice Threads online shop.

This is a cute stripey top emblazoned with Phannatiq’s signature London razor wire screenprint. It’s a size 4-6. I’d dress it down with skinny jeans and low cut Ethletics. You could also dress it up for the Summer Ball with an immaculately cut tuxedo and killer heels. You can buy it from the Very Nice Threads online shop.

If you want to know a bit more about Phannatiq, here’s a blog post we did last year when we first met designer Anna Skodbo at London Fashion Week. And here’s a bit more information on Phannatiq’s sustainable fashion offering, the Green Label.
