PODCAST: Underrated & Delightfully Quirky, London's Emma Cook Represents in her Fall 2006 Runway Show. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG & PODCAST - MP3 File

Yes, she stayed on-trend with the rest of the fashion pack - "no makeup" makeup, simple hair, muted black/grey/neutral color palette - but Emma Cook came up with her own unique twist with tons of adorable, funky frocks that could be dressed up or down to suit a variety of fashion tastes & styles.  The metallic greys were particularly beguiling, while the nud'ish prim pink dresses - with a distinctly wartime feel - gave FT the warm 'n fuzzies.

FT faves from the Emma Cook show:

• lace layering
• chunky headbands worn across the forehead - like a rapper or 70s tennis star
• knits
• oversized bows
• funky grandma'ish loafers somehow magically transformed into cool, very now kicks
• slouchy-chic baby doll dresses rendered in a decidedly non-baby doll grey
• the au courant feel of sporting a dress over black tights & turtleneck
