describe Dalston to someone who has never been?  It's in East London.  It's not particularly easy to get to if you're purely dependent on the Tube.  Through the years, it has welcomed immigrants from the Carribean, Poland and Turkey, and is ethnically diverse, evident in Kingsland Road's mix of black hair salons, Carribean food joints and Turkish cafes.  Then nestled amongst all of that is a hive of London's fashion activity with many of London's biggie designers (Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab, Roksanda Ilincic, Meadham Kirchhoff etc) based there, in addition to all the fashion journos, stylists and general enthusiasts who also call Dalston home. It's no surprise therefore that progressive hat designer Nasir Mazhar turns to his Dalston turf for inspiration for the set and the atmosphere of his presentation as well as the collection itself.  Mazhar does clothing for the first time ever to go with his signature Box Peak Bully Caps, which I'm still itching to get my hands on because of my rejuvenated love of wearing caps in a dorky fashion to the side.  A street cast crew of models wear cropped mesh polo shirts sometimes with fun fur sleeves, logo-ed sweatshirts and trackie bottoms (complete with on-show boxers), net vests and dresses and jeans printed with an illustrated rendering of Mazhar's hot babes.  Once again, Mazhar does mini backpacks, necklace purses and holsters in a variety of prints, harking back to days of raving in the nineties, bouncing up and down to jungle and garage music.
