Hot & Cold

We are proud to present our first knitwear range of this winter, that we funnily named comme des moines. It's a very versatile piece, it's more of a throw as we wanted something that you could make your own easily but with enough attitude to wear it as it comes. And have you seen its killer bows, they are amazing!

After starting our series of fashion capitals with the LDN dress, we continue it with the Paris dress which is the one on the second picture. Red and white chiffon, blue creppe and a contrasting bias binding in the collar, tres chic , non? The perfect dress if you wanna stop being demode.

Fashion designer loses the plot!

East-London fashion designer Nat Colom lost the plot as she was trying on her own new creation. The member of the creative duo The Lazy Ones was shooting in her studio pictures for the launching of her new LDN dress, a red jersey frock with a rather funky frontal pannelling, when she started shouting "i'm feeling so light, this is soooo Agy!" and "yoooou better call Katie Graaand right now!". The situation took a dramatic twist as the Ange dress designer headed to the window in, what is rumored, was an attemp to emulate Laura Hollins in her latest spread for Pop magazine where she jumped from a 5th floor. Luckily everything ended up well as Diego, the other member of The Lazy Ones, remind her that he was no Ryan Mcginley and most importantly that there was no safety net or any fake snow for that matter.
The LDN dress is safely in stores now.

Fannypack!

our friend Che sporting our latest creation, cut-out tees exclusive to our Shoreditch store, The Lazy Ones.

We have created a collection of cut-out t-shirts to celebrate london Fashion Week. Exclusively at The Lazy Ones, they are limited and will surely give you that extra edge needed in this town when the tube is full of models going to castings! Also we have a new version of the lacy dress, as the first batch is sold out!

fun first drop of autumn 08 from Des Moines

These 3 new pieces are amazing! they were put together in 24 hours! Nat woke up at 8am last thrusday and did the 3 patterns for them(we call them Party, Arty & Aggy or 3-Y, ha! fashion joke!). We then went to buy the fabrics and took them to the studio. Then there's all that cutting and joining thingy with the sewing machine. And the pressing.

By friday at midday they were already in Topshop and at The Lazy Ones. we love it!

peplum skirt amazing!

That's one of the most exciting things about Des Moines (& The Lazy Ones too!) We are MADE IN LONDON! All the materials are bought in London, every single garment is manufactured in London....In fact, we can safely say that when you are buying Des Moines you are buying a piece of ALBIOOON!

She's got that vibe (new autumn 08 collection!)

The new Des Moines autumn 08 collection is here. Here are some of the first pieces!

So lacy!
