London Rose [luhn-duhn rohz] NOUN. The opposite of an English Rose and the epitome of edgy London style. A fan of vintage, music, Camden, tattoos, and charity shop chic. Their uniform includes wavy bedhead hair, snow white skin, big black lashes and blood red lips. Wild and carefree. This is what the English Rose’s nightmares are made of…

DERELICT - EDITORIAL EXCLUSIVE TO LONDON--ROSE posted at 2:02 AM

Now here's an editorial you won't see on any other fashion blogs! It's called 'Derelict' and is a LONDON--ROSE exclusive! :) The collection was designed and made by my best friend Sam and her friend Rebecca, who both go to Ravensbourne University in London and are studying fashion design. Isn't it incredible? I was blown away when she showed me the designs - they're all so beautiful. I'm completely in love with every single piece! And the best part? Sam said I can have them! They wouldn't look out of place in Topshop, don't you agree?























What makes the collection even more special is the fact that everything was made from old charity shop clothes! They were completely taken apart and the fabric was re-used to create these beauties. The model in the editorial is Sam's sister Christie, who you may have seen with me & Sam in our video 'The LONDON--ROSE Tribe' (if not, it's linked over there ---> so you can watch it). She's so beautiful and such a natural model. Believe it or not, she's not wearing ANY makeup in these photos other than mascara! I edited the pics afterwards and helped to style a few of the outfits (the lace top & floral shorts etc). What do you think? If you'd like to use Sam as a designer or Christie as a model and would like to contact them, just drop me an email at sugar.gloss@googlemail.com and I'll pass on their details ♥
