RAG AND BONE PRE FALL 2010

As we all know Marcus Wainright & David Neville have no formal training that's why a few years ago they asked my advice as to what they should call their new company. I joked and said HORSE & CART they laughed and called it RAG & BONE and the rest as they say is history!

'Inspired by the romantic past where children would come running out at the shouts of "Rag and Bone" to collect sweets and candies in exchange for items they loaded onto his cart'

WELL.... my memory of a Rag & Bone man was slightly different...... a stinkin' cart pulled by a skeletal half blind cart horse that hadn't eaten a decent meal in weeks and was beaten on a daily basis by a filthy old bloke who picked up any old rubbish and dumped it in a rat infested yard that all the locals hated cus it was an eyesore!
(Of course the above pic in no way relates to my personal memory of a Rag & Bone man)

Anyway l digress Sienna Miller loves to wear Rag & Bone and here she is with Steptoe & Son below:

She is always welcome down my sewer, in fact she rang me the other day talking about performin' on Broadway she said "I'm living my dream ROL, and that's all you can ask for". I said... well luv a decent set of reviews would have been good!!! She laughed, she fancies me I know, I just gotta get rid of Hamlit before I can make a move. Then ratfans I will be like a rat up a drainpipe yeahhhhhhhhhhh!
Anyway I digress (again) cus we are here to talk fashion and whot could be better than a see through top, apart from the fact everyone else is doin' it this fall!

Marcus rang me to ask if it was a little risque, I said no mate Wang's doin' it too, so there's no problem! ABOVE.......NICE.
BELOW........ NOT SO NICEGorgeous model Karolin Wolter told me she was actually picked for her cart horse like legs. When asked how much she got for the shoot she told me "An old gas cooker, a two bar electric fire with flame effect and 13 ft of lead piping" I said to her at least the stove could come in handy, but she said neither appliances worked! I told her from the outset ya work with Rag & Bone they'll pull somethin' off the cart in lieu of payment....she wouldn't listen...it's her own fault!!!
This has been yer rodent fashionista reporting from Hollywood yeahhhhhhh!
I LUV YA ALL
