The London Look




London's first high fashion export, Twiggy and the latest platinum catwalk pixie Agyness Deyn, are among the generational icons that exemplify UK style. London most definitely is the globe's breeding ground for the avant guard in fashion, design and the arts. Culture in the UK thrives on being at the "edge" of cutting edge. 

I just love the English, one aspect of their personality is very invested in being proper, somewhat dry and reserved, but on the other side they are fabulously flamboyant and alive in their very open desire to be adventurous in their self expression. The evolving look of the UK trend is clean and simple with a twist of extreme whimsey. Examples of the hottest looks in fashion were displayed at this years London Fashion Week, upcoming designers such as Caroline Charles, Ashish and Atoni & Alison made their fashion point of view heard.

Taking care of the body is anything but bland in the thriving beauty world of the London underground.  One popular treatment for lustrous shining hair uses bull sperm to nourish and bring life to dull locks. The british appetite for beauty is much more bold than the country's cabbage and potatoes culinary roots. I am sure that Peta would support such a use of an animal by-product, the method of extraction is most likely quite pleasant for the bull, but I digress.

The big news from the Cosmetic Kitchen is the exclusive launch of our Superfood Facial at Hari's Salon and Spa. Hari's is an institution in London, for over 30 years Hari's has been servicing the follicles and complexions of London's most beautiful people.
