Blending their love of fashion and adornment, Alison & Marie’s handbag collection also reflects their multi-cultural heritage (Dubai & London) with an emphasis on the bespoke. Handbags are only produced in pairs per style. Take a closer look at our favorites from their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Via Confashions.

Nicki Minaj is in the U.K. hustling her Pink Friday album and here we have images of her delivering for all her London Barbz  in an amazing pink print catsuit (actually it’s a jacket with leggings–see below), highlighted by pink high heel pumps and sky-high hair, which has been described as reminding of everyone from Marge Simpson and Gumby to Kid ’N Play! We want to know the designer behind the suit….someone tell! [UPDATE: Excellent commenter, Alee, tells us the catsuit and jacket are Cassette Playa, specifically a "Blood Diamond" camo digital print bomber jacket and leggings, and the shoes are Walter Steigner! Love how close Nicki's ear is to the world of streetstyle!] After the flip, a video of her going from the hotel to the street in the same outfit. Check out her adorable stylist whisking off her jacket just before they get in the elevator–too fab! Images via Justjared.

Haven’t found a Noisette song I’m crazy about, but I can’t help but admire the style smarts of the band’s vocalist, Shingai Shoniwa. This image (via WireImage) is from a recent video shoot in London for “Saturday Night.”

UK based girls streetwear label Not Bad For A Girl (NBFG) has just released their Holiday 2007 collection, which consists of t-shirts, crewneck sweaters and zip-up hoodies. In terms of brand building we see quite some similarities between NBFG and Married To The Mob. Lots of the designs are brand name based and centered around their key graphics. The outcome of this strategy is that the brands build strong brands around their clothing and immediate recognizability.

Anyways, check out the new NBFG releases after the jump.

Just last week the Nike x Claw Money Vandal Hi’s were launched in London. Blink Gallery was transformed into Claw Money Land. Not only the sneakers were on showcase, but also Claw Money clothing, the book and a lot more. Also they made especially for the event t-shirts, as well as bicycle water bottles and Claw Money cupcakes!

It turned out to be a very successful event with lots of people coming through. In case you did not make it, we give you a tour through the gallery after the jump.

London womens brand Not Bad For A Girl is slowly becoming the European counterpart to Married To The Mob. We definitely like what we are seeing from the girls.

Now they did not only launch a few new t-shirts in their online store, they also preview an exciting collaboration that will hit shelves Spring/Summer 2008. They got together with one of our favorite UK brands, Addict, to create some Method Zip hoodies. Addict is known for good quality, technical and solid work – that paired with the design skills of Not Bad For A Girl will for sure result in some interesting pieces to look out for.

Check out the collaboration and the latest Not Bad For A Girl releases in detail after the jump.
