Page Three Hundred’s Winter Collection Helps You Layer Your Fall Wardrobe With Ease
As the temperature starts to slowly creep down, layering will once again become an essential daily ritual to dressing for Fall then Winter. Now, two people could be wearing the same exact five pieces but depending on how they’re layered, is what determines who truly has style or not. For their Fall collection, Turin label Page Three Hundred has created many perfect pieces to help you layer your wardrobe with ease.
With every great look comes a solid foundation to build from + what better way to start than with pants, especially when they look this cool? Above, Page Three Hundred offers two on-trend options, ‘Loose- Fit High Waist Trousers’ + ‘Structured Wide Leg Cullottes’. Either one would look great with a long sleeved button-down oxford under a short sleeved sweater or one of tees by Page Three Hundred below. A sleeveless Sixties mod style dress, either over or under the button-down, would give it an interesting silhouette with a gradual downwards expansion of widths.
To complete the look, one could either add a long or three-quarter knit, furry or metallic vest over it, under Page Three Hundred’s tweed coat above.
Another option would be partly tucking one of the tees below into either pair of pants, under the same tweed jacket, with a statement necklace along with two to three necklaces of varying lengths + widths. As for footwear, one could wear heeled booties, open or peep toe, a platform oxford or slip-on with contrasting socks either in color or transparency, a pair of Doc Martens or a pair of high-heeled sandals. To flip the script, you could throw on a pair of cool kicks, like an all-black pair with a white sole or a pair of Nike Air Force 1 High, in white with colored accents.
These pieces by Page Three Hundred are available for purchase at Wowcracy.

WAKE UP! to The Flexican + Sef’s ‘Mother’s Day’ music video, which will have you working your kitchen floor like a runway, as you ready your morning coffee. Directed by Yue Wu, you get to experience a taste of the underground French voguing scene, which is still alive + thriving in today’s France. An homage to the ballroom culture, ‘Paris IS Burning’ darling, even 25 years after the release of the cult documentary of the same name.
Warning: Music + visuals might incite spontaneous dipping in the shower, so careful not to slip!
Enjoy!

Eley Kisihmoto Raids Archives For First Wallpaper Collection
(clockwise: Light on Lattice, La La Lyon, Monster Skin + Camo Chevron)
Until recently, you would’ve assumed Eley Kishimoto wallpaper existed already with so many prints to choose from. Well, it took designers Mark Eley + Wakako Kishimoto to raid their archives of 22 years + rework found prints for their first wallpaper collection. Handprinted in their Brixton studio, the duo told dezeen,’The new collection is the latest incarnation of a continually evolving design aesthetic; a re-working of seminal prints from the studio’s archive that unifies existing designs with both garments + walls, resulting in a visceral exploration of surface decoration.’
(L-R: Galaxy Bouquet, Frills + Sun Loving Bollards)
With each wallpaper available in a variety of colorways, the collection is made up of 12 different patterns. The assortment of patterns includes ‘La La Lyon’, a traditional damask pattern with a modern twist, while geometric grids make up ‘Camo Chevron’ + ‘Light on Lattice’ (quad above) – my favorite of course. I also love the childish look of the ’Monster Skin’ pattern in the quad above, one of several influenced by animals. Meanwhile, a photo of wavy fabric strips was abstracted to create the ‘Frills’ print above (center).
Launching at London trade fair Decorex, running from September 21-24, the collection will also celebrate a desire to create exquisite, handcrafted artefacts in a world of fast, digital production, as stated by the designers.
