Let's All Take a Minute to Remember That Snapback Fedoras Exist

A weekly roundup of anything fashion-related that's made us excited about having bodies that we can dress with clothes.

CARINE ROITFELD IS A MOVIE STAR, TOO

Carine Roitfeld is definitely my favourite fashion pyscho, which is actually a huge statement given the existence of Andre Leon Talley. What just about clinches it for Roitfeld is that, if you look deep into her glinting eyes, it's impossible not to feel like you're just walked in on some sort of incredibly disturbing, possibly sacrificial ritual involving a pair of thigh-high Givenchy boots and Terry Richardson. I'm obviously thrilled that Carine is going to release a feature-length documentary about her life post-French Vogue and has released a trailer which flashes up pretty much any and every name you might need to make an amazing film about the fashion industry. Watch that and tell me it doesn't make you pine for those days you spent as a fashion intern carrying people's torn plastic bags around London in the rain for free with chronic back pain. Just me? Oh, right.

WINDELL'S POPS UP ON KINGSLAND ROAD

If you're anything like me the idea of Notting Hill Carnival is all dancing, cocktails and beautiful people, and the reality of it is being stuck in a crowd of hundreds of drunks, all of whom – according to your latent panic attack – have different reasons to grope you. I don't care how great I look in a bikini top and a tube skirt, I'm not going. What I am going to instead, is Sharmadean Reid's pop-up Jamaican restaraunt on Kingsland Road, which is opening for the week of Carnival and then closing its doors forever :( Go to the Windell's Instagram for more information and opening times.

THIS HAT EXISTS AND I'M NOT JOKING

Somehow, even though this revolutionary piece of outerwear has existed since 2009, it managed to slip past even the keenest fashionistas. Which is amazing, because someone who describes themselves as a "keen fashionista" is literally the only kind of person on the face of this dear earth who would ever, for a moment, consider wearing a snapback fedora. A snapback fedora.

A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora. A snapback fedora.

There is no God.

A snapback fedora.

BITCHING AND JUNKFOOD

Who's that glamorous babe? Oh sorry it's me, what a coincidence. I don't know if you've noticed because it's quite subtle but I'm actually wearing a huge yellow faux fur coat from LA-based fashion label Bitching and Junkfood's AW13 collection (available from mid-September). Finding good faux fur is proving quite difficult so it's nice to stumble upon this which is actually really well made and nice. Funnily enough my shearling bag got caught in the rain today and it smells like I'm carrying a drowned pet around with me, so maybe this texture isn't ideal for this weather. But to be honest, are you really going to care about some light drizzle when you're wearing a huge fluffy yellow coat and stomping around like you're Anna Dello Fucking Russo?

SCREEN PRINTING IN BOXPARK

And finally, WAH are hosting an evening at Yr Boxpark next week, which is a shop where you can access a whole database of imagery and immediately print it all over a vest or T-shirt. So basically you can DIY your own Christopher Kane T-shirt without having to fight other, older and more experienced women for them at sample sales (been there). The takeover is on Thursday the 22nd but don't worry if you can't make it because the printers will be installed for the next six weeks. Enjoy!
