Alison Mosshart

I can’t help but get all starry-eyed around Alison Mosshart. She stalks around the stages singing with The Kills and The Dead Weather. She flicks her mane to the beat. Style-wise she splices typical London style with an apache-look that stylists feast on when working with her.

It’s not easy to look stylish alongside friend Kate Moss but sharing Jamie Hince’s time with the supermodel does not leave Alison Mosshart looking the ugly sister. They both share that rock star, car-crash attitude that compounds our Grazia style fascination with these icons. Massive style crush.

Get the look...

The Cover Up

Last week snow was everywhere and all the chat about it was boring. But I am loving girls stalking the streets, eyes barely showing beneath hefty scarves that backbrush their hair as they go.

Fitted jacket. Get one anywhere. Zara is always good. Jockey trousers, if you can pull them off. Skinnies if not. Towering heels or boot wedges for the day. Done.

P.S. First forray into the Drawn element of Hung Drawn. Thank you for your patience.

A little scrap of paper passed over the counter when I was but a shop girl appears in a sketchbook I'm using. Helena Horstedt.com is all it says.

I am thrown backwards two years when I pawed over the most beautifully created pieces I have ever seen. All handcrafted. All black. All sumptious. Satin, Velvet, Leather. Pleated, concertinaed.

I can't find anything on where this girl is now but if you have five minutes go to the website and feast your eyes on true artistry. I wish it could go on and on...

Alley Capellino

Stars collide.

I park on Calvert Avenue on the way to Leila, a favourite cafe in Shoreditch and happen across a cool little shop, which happens to be Ally Capellino HQ. Stripey summer holdalls catch my eye. Like every fashion girl I am a sucker for a stripe!

Same week: I get a newsletter from menswear shop Tonic and it features Ally Capellino bags for men.

A month later she has a stand in Liberty.

Her designs are charming. They mix a little of the doctor's bag with the school satchel and I'm so thrilled to see her label being championed by people in the know. This label is one of those gems you hope no-one will catch onto but that you can't help but hope does well.
