Let's talk WAYNE. I had no idea until yesterday what WAYNE was, but now I'm kind of obsessed. In England I think the name probably gets a bad rap, largely due to the fact that most people still haven't got over Wayne and Waynetta. Wayne Rooney only adds to the problem. Wayne Lee, however, is a different matter. A Vietnamese designer from a long line of tailors, Wayne grew up in Florida and launched WAYNE in 2007, winning the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation prize in 2008. Past winners include Zac Posen, Proenza Schouler and Derek Lam so that's a pretty decent start.



Anyway, it's love now. Wayne's website says her biggest influences are punk and science fiction so we're half way to being on the right track and her AW10 collection is definitely my bag. There's not really any lengthy reason why, it's just really fucking nice. That orange look right at the top is just... perfect? Nice jersey draping, nice tailoring (obviously) and more nice furry bits. I need to find a fake fox tail to hang off myself, but eBay only has the real deal. I do have a rocking horse tail lying around somewhere, perhaps that could be incorporated.

Much as I like it, I have to make it clear right now that I will not be getting behind the return of camo print which I have now seen twice in as many days at NYFW, including at WAYNE. Too soon, guys, too soon.
