midweek musings

Who would ever have thought that biker jackets- the tough, attitude driven, cool kids of fashion- could be made to look cute and innocent? More to the point, who would be able to create such a juxtaposed item of clothing and make it look good? Only the playfully creative London-based duo Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff! Yep, Meadham Kirchhoff have designed three cropped biker jackets exclusively for Net a Porter and it's the two above that really made my fashion senses tingle with excitement. I think it's the fact they look like they've been scribbled on by small children (and I am a completely sucker for the colour turquoise which is probably the predominant reason for being drawn to the first jacket) and then rounded off with a cute motif on the back. I think it's also the fact that they are something a little bit different and have the brand's aesthetics scrawled all over it. But mainly, I've never really liked cropped biker jackets...until now.
