Nailed It: Meadham Kirchhoff x Nail Rocks AW'12

After a number of successful candy-coated seasons, the sheer mention of Meadham Kichhoff instantly brings to mind tales of theatrics and extravagance; tales where Rainbow Bright's younger sister can be found cartwheeling her way through Wonderland in a pair of charm encrusted wedges, probably high on acid. Clearly, if there's one thing guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face, it's a Meadham Kirchhoff show.


It's the combined imaginations of Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff who we have to thank for bringing such joy to Fashion Week season after season; a design duo continually praised for their dedicated attention to detail, and rightly so. Following last season's cute-as-a-button diamanté embellished nails, AW'12 sees Meadham Kirchhoff's second collaboration with nail art masters, Nail Rocks.


As always, the latest show presented a signature kaleidoscope of whacky colour and the nails were no exception. The follow up collaboration sees a range of colourful and quirky nail wraps ranging from whimsical unicorn and toad stool designs to playfully illustrated eyes, ghouls, cats and fried eggs.

Nail art has been low on the agenda during my travels for all the obvious reasons, but after treating myself to a spot of cuticle therapy in Cambodia not too long ago I'm itching to get my nails did again. For all their fun and imagination, I think it's safe to say that the Kawaii-inspired AW'12 pairing might be just the ticket once I'm home. Keep your eyes peeled for them in Topshop this winter.
