  • Insufficient cycle racks, 19th June
    There are not enough cycle racks outside of the Clifton Down shopping centre, and the ones that are there are too close together to be able to easily position them and lock them, especially when you have shopping with you.

  • Overflowing bins and rats, 17th June
    At the stapleton rd end of seymour rd and kensington Rd the bins are sometimes overflowing on to the pavement, you have to step over or walk around it. Ive also noticed more rats, the last one being right outside my kitchen door yesterday.It came out running right by my feet, i have a 2 yr old and often walk to the shops, i have to pick him up and carry him as he want to stop and pick things up (rubbish/glass etc). Having grabbed him out of the way of the rat yesterday, i thought it needed reporting. More Rats and large amounts rubbish on the streets for summer is not a nice thought.

  • Sunken manhole cover, 16th June
    On the left hand side of the road the tarmac surrounding a manhole cover has sunk. This is bad for cyclists, as they either must swerve to avoid it, potentially leading to conflict with traffic, or ride over it, which isn't very nice!

    Report on FixMyStreet
  • Illegal parking in cycle lane leads to pinch point, 16th June
    Quite often cars will park in the cycle lane at a narrow point caused by a traffic island. This narrows the lane and forces cyclists to move out into the path of cars. Please can signs be placed indicating that the yellow lines are not to be used for loading here at any time as well as enforcing them. In the attached photo you can see that the white van is parked in the cycle lane meaning there is no longer enough room for a cyclist.

  • Style.com: Araks Takes the Swimwear Plunge

    Araks swimwear

    “I love color,” says lingerie and ready-to-wear designer Araks Yeramyan. “It’s the first thing I think about, and it’s at the forefront of everything I do,” she adds. Her passion for lively palettes comes across loud and clear in her new swimwear collection, which will launch at a fete at Le Bain (appropriate, no?) this evening. Having designed swimwear in the early days of her eponymous line, Yeramyan gave it up when she had children. But in February, she released a well-received swim capsule for J.Crew, which spurred a demand for Araks suits. And, as the designer puts it, “You’ve got to give the people what they want.”

    Araks swimwear

    Now, about that color—the collection, which was inspired by the bright hues and negative and positive shapes in Andrew Masullo’s paintings, is full of it. “In lingerie, I mix a lot of colors, but I have to make sure it’s still subtle, quiet, and something you want to wear under your clothes. With swim, you don’t have to worry about any of that. You just go,” she says. And go she did! Featuring one- and two-piece suits with creative cutouts on the shoulders and hips (“I think that’s sexier than just cleavage; it’s about finding another, less expected way to be sexy,” explains Yeramyan), the range—which will be a permanent addition to the Araks oeuvre—is blocked with violet, lime, aqua, cherry, fuchsia, and beyond. Priced between $248 and $380, and set to hit stores in October, Araks’ swimwear makes its eye-popping debut here, exclusively on Style.com.

  • Style.com: For Your Eyes Only

    Chanel Iman in Spectral

    If the Stepford wives wore Louis Vuitton, you might expect them to look exactly like the models in Spectral, the film that Jenna Elizabeth has made for VFiles and California-based (but Italian-made) eyewear label SHAUNS. Set to premiere during a party at the Tribeca Grand tonight, the film stars Chanel Iman, who undergoes an unusual eye exam. (Get it? Because it’s an eyewear brand?) During the procedure, Iman has a series of decidedly trippy (but curiously fashionable) flashbacks—one of which debuts exclusively below. The full film will be released tomorrow on vfiles.com.

  • Style.com: Oh, the Places Lou Goes…

    Lou Dillon performing at Le BaronToday, Lou Doillon drops her new album, Places in the United States. And last night, the singer-cum-model-cum-socialite Parisienne (who happens to be the daughter of Jane Birkin) proved her transatlantic star power, packing New York’s Le Baron to what felt like well beyond capacity with a glittery Euro-American crowd.

    Taking the stage with but one guitarist, Doillon belted out a selection of new tracks from Places with a surprisingly American twang. She was soulful, clear, and melancholic, but still coolly detached in the way only a messy-haired Frenchwoman can be.

    “I’ve been a fan of Lou’s for a really long time,” said Pamela Love, who hosted the event, which was part of Absolut Vodka’s Encore Sessions. Between embraces with Olivier Zahm, the designer added, “I love her style, everything about her, in addition to her music.” When pressed as to the presence of musical inspirations in her bohemian designs, Love replied, “Musicians almost always anchor my stylistic jump-offs—it’s the way they carry themselves.”

    Hunter Gather's Spring '14 menswear

    Considering his résumé includes everything from styling Tom Cruise to serving as the launch editor of GQ Style to consulting on Calvin Klein and Versace (among others), it’s safe to assume that David Bradshaw knows what men want. And with his London concept store Hunter Gather, which he opened last December with co-founder Chris Bailey (no, not Burberry’s Christopher Bailey) he aims to offer gents just that.

    The model is a simple one: 70 percent of the Hunter Gather core collection remains essentially the same, updating each season with new fabrics and hues. (The latest range consists of clashing, squiggly Pop-art prints; butter-soft pinwale cord shirts; and bomber jackets.) It’s like a greatest-hits parade over and over again, and the clothes are remarkably affordable, which makes them all the more desirable. “I have discovered that people want more than just to walk in a shop and buy a piece of clothing,” Bradshaw said of his retail venture. “They are looking for a story, a narrative. My job is simple: to hunt it, gather it—and, finally, give it to them.”

    Looks from Hunter Gather's women's capsule

    But Bradshaw’s not just a guy’s guy—he knows what the ladies want, too. Or, at least, it seemed that way after viewing his debut women’s capsule. Paired with socks and sandals, knife-pleated skirts with kooky eyeball, nail-polish-bottle, and sunglasses prints had a geek-chic vibe, while squishy, soft leather bomber jackets and oversize printed sweatshirts made for covetable basics. A series of quirky vintage handbags, which were hand-painted with perfume-bottle and funny-face designs, were particularly lust-worthy. And a sharply tailored tuxedo jacket, as well as one particularly smart jumpsuit with gold detailing, reminds that Hunter Gather isn’t just fun and games—there is some serious design talent in this collective.

  • Style.com: Bull’s Eye: Liberty United x Giles & Brother

    Philip Crangi, Cara Buono, Peter Thum, and Courtney Crangi at the launch of Liberty United

    Last night at the Jane hotel’s rooftop bar, the likes of Parker Posey, Jenna Lyons, and Glenn O’Brien joined social entrepreneur Peter Thum to fete the debut of his brave new label, Liberty United. Thum works with local governments to source confiscated or bought-back firearms and melted-down bullet casings, which he then hands over to artists and jewelers to turn into covetable, and politically conscious, accessories. A portion of the proceeds from the collections will be donated to initiatives seeking to reduce gun-related violence in the U.S.

    Thum tapped Giles & Brother’s Philip and Courtney Crangi to design Liberty United’s first lineup, which comprised a series of necklaces, rings, and bracelets in the form of brass, steel, and sterling-silver nails. The wares are each stamped with the serial number of a permanently impounded and decommissioned weapon and can be engraved with up to eight characters of your choosing. “It’s our signature,” Philip Crangi told Style.com of the spike motif, “but it’s a brand-new model.” Showing off a tray of brass bracelets, he added, “We made these out of smelted bullet shells.”

    Liberty United's debut collection with Giles & Brother

    It was Thum’s wife, actress Cara Buono, who pushed for Liberty United on American turf, after witnessing her husband’s success with Fonderie 47, a similar project that he launched in Africa. “[Thum] doesn’t do this for glamour,” said Courtney Crangi. “He does it because of his heart.”

    Guests were eager to purchase and personalize their jewelry. Earlier in the evening, Philip surprised Courtney with a cuff imprinted with “MOMMY,” and Prabal Gurung chose the initials “G.U.P.” for his bracelet. While that monogram stood for “Grace Under Pressure,” it could just as easily have been read as a fitting, mission-centric message: Guns Used Peacefully.

    Giles & Brother for Liberty United can now be ordered online, at www.libertyunited.com. Prices start at $85.
