Fashionistas who appreciate gorgeous unique clothing, and maybe fancy a change from the usual high street shops, should go have a look-see at XXIV London - an online shop which specialises in pieces designed and made by fresh, young independent British designers.
It all began in 2009, starting out with just one label selling pieces in the famous Camden Stables Market on the weekends. From there the shop went online and hosts an array of talented designers whose pieces are truly a delight to gaze upon.
The website is constantly looking to promote the work of independent designers, helping new talent gain the recognition they deserve. All the clothing and accessories offer that extra something but are all still very wearable and stylishly chic!

I’ve fallen in love with British designer Lee Klabin’s Autumn/Winter 2010/11 Collection. Breathtakingly beautiful structured pieces enhance the womanly silhouette with the help of boning which runs through the panels and seams resulting in traditional British fashion with an artistic flare!
Celebrities such as Dita Von Teese, Sarah Jessica Parker and Lily Cole are already followers of this Israeli born fashion designer. No wonder really as she manages to create pieces that capture the essence of power dressing but with a feminine edge. Lee’s obsession with emphasizing the female form was always the driving force behind her creations. She studied at London College of Fashion and afterwards started to design couture corsets which caught the attention of enough people that she decided to launch an evening Ready-To-Wear Collection which cinch in and accentuate all the right places of a woman’s figure.

Who else is totally obsessed with MTV’s hit series The City? Ok maybe just me – but I’m sure the rest of you are close behind! Who can resist the fashion, drama and excitement that surrounds Whitney Port, the star of the series? Her style oozes chic tailoring and it seems she isn’t afraid to try out interesting styles and colours to make her stand out from the crowd.
Whitney has been fortunate with her career, which funds her gorgeous wardrobe, having worked for the fabulous Diane Von Furstenberg and currently working at Peoples Revolution and not too long ago launched her very own fashion line ‘Whitney eve’ which captures her unique style. Her first runway show took place during Fashion Week in 2009 and collections are extremely beautiful and sophisticated. Quirky colours and an array of different textured materials capture the essence of femininity and are versatile – which is what Whitney likes to portray in her own attire. She rocks the whole tailored shorts and slouchy blazer look, but can most certainly pull off the glam vixen look in a LBD and sporting slicked back hair.
A talented young designer with a huge career ahead of her and here at TopStylista we’ve put together two outfits which reflect the fashionista’s style!
