On a recent trip to Portobello Market we discovered an unbelievably cool stall selling vintage work-wear. The clothes were all imported, mainly from France, by a super quirky guy who gave out old photographs with his details stamped on the back instead of business cards.
He was selling trousers, shirts and jackets made from beautiful linens, twills and even moleskin in a variety of faded blues and khaki greens. As the garments were all genuine vintage pieces they were showing signs of wear but had been repaired with delicate hand stitch and patches.
While rummaging through a suitcase of denim on the same stall we pulled out a pair of vintage FU’S shorts and couldn’t resist snapping them up for the MiH Archive, as FU’S was a brand launched by Chloe’s father in the 70’s.

Sam Haskins is one of our favourite 1960’s photographers and there is a well thumbed and most definitely cherished copy of November Girl in the MiH Jeans library.
We love the grainy textures, the way the images tell such a vivid story, the beautiful girl, the gritty scenery and that the photographs still feel fresh and exciting despite their age.

The MiH Jeans creative team are currently at the Dorset coast for our Spring-Summer 2011 look book shoot. Hopefully the sunshine will hold out for a few more days, but should the British weather let us down, it might even help in our pursuit of atmospheric images like this.

We spotted Kate Bosworth out and about in LA over the weekend looking fabulously cool in MiH Paris Bleached. As if her killer pins aren’t enough to make us green with envy, she was also out for dinner with Alexander Skarsgård who plays Eric, our favourite vampire in True Blood.

The MiH team are all full of the joys of summer (Spring/Summer 2011 that is!) as the design team just presented the fabulous new collection to us, in its entirety. We don’t want to give too much away but can safely say that some of the designs were unintentionally inspired by old Lonsdale family photos. We don’t think too many guys will be sporting next season’s super tight cut-offs though.

This weekend we discovered possibly the cutest afternoon tea in London, at Podium Restaurant at the Park Lane Hilton. While Andy Murray was battling it out on court, we were (conversely) eating cupcakes with chocolate tennis rackets on top and tennis-themed open sandwiches – this artistic masterpiece even features a chocolate tennis court. It was a bit of a shame to eat it – but we did anyway.

Chloe unearthed some old family photo albums on a recent trip to see her parents and brought them into the office for the team to flick through. How cute are the snaps of Chloe and her sister in their tiny denim dungarees? Chloe’s love for denim obviously started at a very early age.

We are currently re-organising the PR department at MiH HQ and it seems we have accumulated so many A4 folders that we barely have space to keep them. However, we still have some way to go before our files take over the office the way Karl Lagerfeld’s books have taken over his studio.
We found these pictures in an adorable book called ‘The Selby Is in Your Place’ which is a compilation of photographs and illustrations Todd Selby took or made while snooping around the houses of fabulous people.

Due to the constant stream of models coming into our office for castings and reading an article in the latest Vogue on ‘The History of Supermodels’, the MiH girls got to thinking that we should probably work out a lot more (hopefully the triathlon will get us on the right track… Look at our Facebook page if you want to read about our training trials and tribulations!) but also about our all time favourite models. Brazilian beauty Cintia Dicker scored fairly highly amongst all the girls in the office.
As did the Dutch bombshell Lara Stone and current classic Jessica Stam.

Our Head of PR met up with Hanneli of the amazing blog Hanneli.com for a cup of hibiscus flower tea and some people watching at Café Gitane in NY yesterday. We love Hanneli’s look and lust after her Alaia heels!
