ISOLATED HEROES- UK Designer Samantha McEwan









As you may already know, here at CAGECITY we put a huge focus on discovering and supporting up & coming fashion designers. We love what they do, and want to share what we love with you. 

Isolated Heroes is a label that is not only fun and creative, but inspirational too. Behind the brand is creative genius Samantha McEwen - A fashion graduate from Dundee. What we find inspirational is even though graduating was only in June 2011, Samantha has created a label that is innovative, unique, eye-catching but still wearable. Samantha fuses colours and prints in ways that are fierce and distinct, and really reflects the vibrant, exciting, young fashionistas emerging across the country. 

The label is individual and exclusive, exactly what we love at Cagecity! From neon furs, net dresses, mesh crops, bold printed tees and bubble bags this labels emphasis is on bringing fun to fashion. What's more it's predominantly uni-sex..Amazing! 

Samantha really shows her raw talent and passion for what she loves..she has worked with musicians Kreayshawn & Azealia Banks and in such a short time has displayed, with Isolated Heroes, that fashion can be fun, but still credible. It really is great to see young creatives emerging from the UK, we like what we see and look forward to what's to come. 

Join our mailing list for more updates and info on all the exciting things we love at Cagecity. We know you'll love it too! :)

"SPACED OUT" - Emma Mulholland




Being a stockist of some of the coolest Australian brands we always like to keep up to date with Australian fashion and labels. 

EMMA MULHOLLAND is one of Australia's optimistic and promising young designers, who made her debut at Australia's fashion week last year. 

"SPACED OUT" is the latest collection from the 24 year old designer. The collection was inspired by aliens and Ancient Egypt, featuring hollograms, metallics, sequins and shiny brocade. 

It is flamboyant and fun, and definitely not for the faint hearted. We love it! It feels like a blast from the past...circa 90's...colourful, bright and over the top...brilliant! 

Mulholland staples include cropped jackets , printed trousers, high-waist minis, crop tops, caps and backpacks. 

Did you check out Grimes rockin' the "Desperate Much" bomber, one of a kind, custom made just for her! We want one!!! 

Australian model Anja Konstantinova stars in the lookbook. Serious girl crush! She also models for CAGECITY's brand StyleStalker. She is fast becoming one of Australia's most loved models and at a mere height of 5 ft 4 shes breaking the mold of model stereotypes. Go Girl! 

Keep your eyes peeled for the our next blog post on Anja featuring some of our favourite shots of the gorgeous model. She is one hottie!

GRAFFITI - ART - FASHION : It's INSA





We first clocked eyes on INSA a couple years back in our local area of New Cross, where his trademark "high heel design" covers the front of a shop. 

After asking a couple of graffiti-loving, all-knowing friends...firstly what it was and what it was all about...we got it. They explained that INSA has homed in on symbolising our obsession with sex, consumerism and our lavish, unsatisfying, money grabbing lifestyles, and is in fact making us question..."is that the route to happiness?". 

Since then we kept an eye on INSA, liking his work and the concept behind it. So we were pleased to hear recently about the launch of INSA leggings! Sold out in 6 mins...woah!! Unfortunately we didn't manage to grab a pair, :( but more will be released soon according to his Instagram & Twitter updates...so don't fret, there's still time ;). 

KESH x INSA is INSA's collaboration with up and coming artist and fellow Londoner KESH...who has recently exhibited her first solo show in LA. Which we love...bold, simplicity...its us! She is the perfect candidate to represent INSA fashion...with her voluptuous womanly figure. 

Click on the link if you wana check out more on INSA and for KESH head to www.keshcontinues.com. 

Maybe in the future CAGECITY will be selling INSA....I would sign up to the Cagecity newsletter for updates if I were you :)

Crush on Haim!





Ok so were slightly obsessed with the band HAIM!! Three sisters Este, Alana and Danielle Haim, are true LA babes!! 

The girls grew up playing in their Mum and Dads band (cool parents) But then moved on from that starting to write their own material. The band is heavily influenced by Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac) and play a mix of Californian Soft Rock and R&B. 

Not only do they sound amazing their style is on point!! That Laid back LA cool down to a tee.. Fun & playful but cool & sexy all at the same time! 
These girls are Banging!! 

Check their style and have a lil listen of the tune - Haim - Don't save me

Top dog in Bohemian style.. Lisa Bonet!




This is one of our favourite shots of style savvy Lisa Bonet who played artsy, free spirited Denise Huxtable on the Cosby show. She is one of our top style crushes of the 80's/90's...on and off screen. 

Lisa Bonets style was creative, inspired and carefree. We love how she would wear whatever she liked...a true cagecity lady!! 

Recreate her style with our MinkPink lace crop top that is now in SALE!! 

Team with a high-waist pair of black skinnies, chuck on some heavy long necklaces, crosses, a cute little bowler hat...(theres a great one in topshop...see link) flat pair of chelsea boots, leather jacket and your good to go! 

We all need a bit of Lisa Bonet/Denise Huxtable in our life!
