Palladium Authenticity – Alice Dellal from Palladium on Vimeo.

I’ve got a pair of free Palladium boots which are the unwanted legacy of a night of free boozing.

They’re fucking rotten eye sores which will are still boxed and will never grace my feet.

Maybe it takes an authentically diiferent beauty like Alice Dellal to carry the look off…..

After  releasing a quite fantastic album earlier this year, Connan Mockasin has branched out into the luctrative world of designer apparel with a distinctive custard coloured teeshirt replete with a rather crude depiction of Connan smiling. These tshirts are now availble for purchase via Phantasy daddy Erol Alkan’s webstore.

(The Stokey dwelling parentals amongst you be sure to check out the Erol baby grower too)

Phantasy were so delighted with our words of praise back in May for the album they gave us one of these distinctive t shirts as a competition prize for the fashionista readers at Slutty Fringe!

For a chance of winning you need to form an impressive answer to the following quandry and direct it here.

To avoid ending up hobbling to the Whitechapel walk-in centre, it is highly advised you bring one of each of the following:
1. A knife
2. A cycling hockey helmet
3. A map of the sale locations (some of them are weird, Cooperative Designs at Darnley Rd? Emma Cook at Shacklewell?)
4. A dummy Chanel 2.55 – to throw across the room as a distraction to those hungry, hungry dogs
5. Your elbows (in case you decided to leave them at home today)

Bring it, lady.
