Giddup there...

Ponystep1 So the Boombox maestro has launched Ponystep.com and I was gutted that I missed the launch party on Sunday...   Just as I predicted, the site conveys a different and unique point of view on the fashion talent in London and despite only being about two days old, there’s a fair few fashion features up already.  Some names are comfortingly familiar, others not so, which means I’ll have to add another URL to the favourites list...

I know Fleet Ilya’s work but not the name so it’s good that Ponystep have highlighted the man behind the sex-inspired leather totes, accessories, headgear and outfit ‘props’ that have graced the bods of Kylie Minogue and Roisin Murphy (is it a little insane that I’ve dreamt about emailing Roisin’s record company with a gushing list of designers that I think Roisin should pull in for a 40-outfit change gig and then going to the gig itself to witness the splendour...yes, I think so...).  I’ve thought about harnessing up several times if I found the right structure because over something floaty and soft, it’s a useful prop to have.  I think Fleet does a few different ranges that are available in shops or via private bespoke order, but a few of his pieces are available to buy online at Coco de Mer.  His later collections will be full of patent and brass, two things that of course get my vote so we’ll see whether there will be some Susie Bubble harness action going on...
