Krazy for KTZ

Kokon to Zai (KTZ) is the brainchild of super talented duo Sasko Bezovski and Marjan Pejoski who collectively work in the varying fields of fashion design, buying,djing and styling.Each season brings about an even more experimental collection from the innovative London based label, and the current season is no exception taking its inspiration from Blade Runner, and tribal references.The spring summer 09 collection is mega jeweled,overly embellished,colourful, and full of the archetypal KTZ personality, they are the type of clothes that make you want to leap around the streets or dance your socks off. It's couture clubwear for want of a new genre of fashion. What's more, the label won the New Generation award this season so a few select pieces from the collection are stocked in Topshop as part of the Edit concession which also includes: Marios (Italy), Diana Orving (Sweden),Grey Ant(LA) and Starstyling(Berlin) for a limited period only.Also available from

I ordered the tubed leather jacket (pictured below) from last seasons collection and I just adore it, I haven't worn it that much because it's just one of those special pieces. It has a marvellous texture of patented leather with hard leather tubing embossed over the leather to create a 3D like effect. There is a sort of superhero effect in wearing their clothes because of the powerful design execution, every design detail is considered down to the lining of the pockets (see below green stripe lining).

A few of my favorite things

BRACELET BY: ALEXIS BITTAR COTTON BLAZER BY: TOPSHOP RUFFLE DRESS BY: ISABEL MARANT CHAIN SUEDE BOOTS BY: ISABEL MARANT

I have just put together the first of my coveted summer outfits. I have been searching for an interesting ruffle dress for sometime and discovered this one by Isabel Marant in Dublin boutique Costume last week. One of the girls who owns the shop was wearing hers with a black vest worn underneath, a slouchy knit, and her AF Vandervorst knee boots. I love that idea of hardening up pretty dresses with everyday boots and knits, at least it makes clothes more wearable and justifies spending €400 on a whimsical summer dress. Isabel Marant can recreate casual french chic through her effortless designs . The aesthetic of the label tends to stem from what french girls typically wear on the street, which is the idea of throwing together a look from your bedroom floor. Think leggings, ballet pumps, a floaty white shirt or a smock dress, a printed scarf and finished off with a battered vintage parka. Celebrity followers of the label include; Sofia Coppola, Kirsten Dunst, Jane Birkin and Charlize Theron.
