London Fashion Weekend Autumn 2012

London Fashion Weekend is on its way again and Shikasuki is as thrilled as ever to be involved, this time with our beautiful vintage treasures appearing in the LFWE promotional magazine The Edit and on the LFWE website.

Styled by the inimitable Miss Molly, with her trademark "paper bag full" (usually Miss Molly herself jumping out!), on a 60s London theme; it all looks rather wonderful!

A close up of Miss Molly's lovely "bag full"!


Miss Molly: "As always Rachel Ducker at Shikasuki knows her stuff and I sourced this beautiful little bag amongst her collection to add a vintage twist to our theme. This piece (front right in the paper bag) is embroidered and beaded from the 1950's, just before our Sixties trend, but this proves you can mix all your decades to create your look."
