Noughties Nostalgia

What are your favourite Noughties fashion memories??? Whatever they are, I think you will agree that London was a great place to be. We went from being status slaves, to underground rebels. We had a brief fling with boho, and then we new raved our neon socks off!! The high street exploded, with Topshop and Primark becoming tourist destinations in their own right.

Here is a snapshot of some of the fashion moments that defined the last decade for me.

A cheeky Northern chappy by the name of Henry Holland grabbed the attention of the fashion world with his slogan tees in 2006.




Gareth Pugh came along to become the heir apparent to John Galliano's legacy of fashion for show; not for the street.




Christopher Kane showed us all things bright and beautiful in his first show for LFW Spring Summer 2007.



And another Christopher - Bailey - made Burberry cool again.



Boombox was the place to party hard on a Sunday night (until 2008 when it shut its doors for good)!




The recession hit home on planet fashion when in 2009, Luella went into liquidation.



We suffered the loss of Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow. However they will continue to be remembered by all for their contributions to British fashion and will go down in history for their creative vision.


I have probably not even scratched the surface in this post!! These were just the memories that really stood out in my mind. I think British fashion came into its own again this last decade and I am looking forward to seeing what the next will bring!
