Edward's Edge - episode 8 picks

So now you know why they told you not to go down to the woods tonight. Well it wasn’t exactly summer camp, but all the gang pulled off some interesting looks in their attempts to be kind of practical.

Effy happily took on the role of Alice in Wonderland, with the help of the discovery of some hallucinogenics. Her beautiful wafty chiffon dress (by People’s Market), covered in great trippy illustrations of woodland creatures up to no good, was one of my favourites. As usual she carried off her effortless neo grunge style with a wicked glint in her eye and a careless flick of her matted tresses. But maybe this time even she’s gone too far, watch this space.

At least Pandora wrapped up nice and warm, her mastery of the art of layering really comes into it’s own after dark in a bleak wood. I bet her mum made her put her woolen long Johns on as well! I love her padded pink Nike anorak. I think they’re meant to be for skiing, but Pandora successfully reinterprets it for urban woodland. The Alpine scenes all over it remind me of fairytales, and they never had happy endings either. Poor old Pandora, is it ever going to work out for her and Thomas?

cook

If anyone was going to be the bogeyman, Cook was always going to be first in line. I wouldn’t want to meet him in his scary wool balaclava down a dark alley, let alone in the middle of a deserted wood. The mask, from Urban Outfitters is a creepy blend of standard terrorist kit and a bobble hat knitted by your favourite auntie. His standard choice of footwear is his trusty cherry red DM loafers. They are a classic retro style, specially made for us ahead of a re-launch by Doctor Martens – a classic of youth rebellion from skinheads via punk to the present day. See you next week

Love

Edward
