Jasmin who is another architecture student, jolted Pharaoh Pea from bleary eyed to awake with this b.e.aut of a manicure. Jasmin's eclectic style is simple but very well put together. Pharaoh Pea's favourites include coca cola earrings from somewhere exotic and a gold sequined skirt from Zara. Holla. Enjoy.
Pharaoh Pea has taken to the street and this belle mademoiselle was his street-style find.
I've been threatening to venture out to the alleyways and harass strangers for a photo and their permission to spread their loverly style with the wider world via blogland. However I am without an SLR or an any way professional camera so fear for being mistaken for a regulah' perve. But luckily the subject of this post, my amigo Andreea, had a pretty fine camera herself so I saw my opportunity and asked to use for a quick few pictures of her ensemble. The outfit would be very nice indeedy for any day of the week but is especially impressive considering her destination on this day was a building site (she's studying architecture).
Kaiser Karl, the man of many, many talents has added interviewing to his list of accomplishments. As Pharaoh Pea was unavailable for questioning he decided to interview himself as a substitute earlier this week. The interview was organised by net-a-porter, promoting his 2012 collections, which I wasn't actually a haw-haw-huge fan of. I was however very impressed by what walked down the runway (both of the aviation and fashion persuasions) last week in the Chanel Couture show, but that's another day's ramblings.
Apologies once again for another hiatus! My week off turned out to be as busy as a week on. I've spent much of it in transit, in fact this post is coming at you 5hrs before my next flight at an ungodly hour.
Anyway, I'll see y'all soon with a more substantial post in toe.
Bisous, Pharaoh Pea
Halohaw.
To my tens and tens of loyal follwers, apologies for my brief hiatus (although I'm sure you all managed to cope without my ramblings infesting your internet activity) - I had a several looming deadlines but thankfully am now work free for a one whole week.
With this free time I have constructed a time machine and traveled to the future to track down myself wearing Calvin Klein's latest offerings for Fall/Winter 2012.
As you can see I'm very stressed. This is because I tried to take a shortcut but got lost and thus is late for work. Uh-oh-spagettio. I can exclusively reveal I didn't get any beef off my boss because they like the speckled navy suit and accompanying CK umbros so much and because, well I am a Pharaoh.
Here's some more of my favourite ensembles from the rest of the latest Calvin Klein collection which hit zha runway in Milan this Monday.
As a side note on my time travels I found out the world doesn't end this year and that capes will be seen widely on both genders. I'm sorry to disappoiny but I can't reveal anything on the U.S elections, the outcome of the completely ridiculous SOPA and PIPA proposed legislation or any big events from 2012 because I made a pact with Marty McFly to stay hush, hush.
Bubye for now,
Pharaoh Pea
Unfortunately I can't credit the photos as I was vehry tired indeedy throwing this post together
Just a quick post to say props to my boy Karl for this Collection shown this week in Paris. Have a look at the video at the end of this post to get a good taste of the Pari-ndian feeling show (look out especially for nice touchs such as model trains parading at a similar speed to the models' strut).
Pharaoh Pea forgoes the bindi and shari but does port a sash in today's Chanel Ensemble du Jour.
Holla. Just a quick post to show off Pharaoh Pea's sweet ass scarf from the Spring/Summer 2012 Louis Vuitton menswear collection. Pharaoh Pea is having lots of laughs at the amusements with a dear friend.
It's only a few months until the full collection is available for yo' paws. There's a nice "Out of Africa" feature on the collection in the Autumn/Winter Another Man Magazine. The Collection was, the new menswear creative director, Kim Jones's first.
Like me he spent much of his upbringing in Africa, however unlike me, he is not a Pharaoh and migrated from Africa later in his childhood. Much of the collection is inspired by the ecletic mix of environments in which Jones was fortunate to the experince growing up; reflecting the emphasis on travel and a global image Lewee Veetawn projects itself.
Chaw, chaw- check the video of the full collection shown during menswear Paris Fashion week.
I am vely busy at the moment, but hopefully I'll manage to get back soon to spread the juicy deets of an amour blossoming between Marni and H&M for the Spring/Summer 2012 collaboration announced last week.
Arrivederci,
Pharaoh Pea

I was going to wait until I had something style-post worthy organised to put on here, but since about one person annually actually reads this I feel it's ok to veer slightly off course and diversify in the Pharaoh Pea output to the blogosphere.
So Part One of this post is this b.e.a.uty of a song by James Vincent McMorrow brought to my attention by an amigo. He's Irish like Pharaoh Pea (quarter Irish, quarter vegtable, half Egyptian Royalty) and sounds as good as Bon Iver.
While I'm off the beaten track I'll throw in Part Two a gem I've stumbled across on issuu. It's someone's very nice sketches in their moleskin book they've uploaded. I find snooping through it is like reading a very disjointed, uplifting version of Anne Frank's diary without the sad ending (so.... really nothing like reading Anne Frank's diary at all)
Take a look at it in full here.
CIAO FOR NOW Pharaoh Pea.
I said that a lot of the Versace/H and M menswear was a step into Miami Vice territory too far for Pharaoh Pea to venture. So I thought noone would be more approriate to drape themselves in Donnatella's offerings and show their swaggah' via Pharaoh Pea than Tubbs and Crockett themselves (and Magnum PI). No anotation necessary as the boys are all wearing Versace for H and M. Enjoy.
This post is slightly overdue as I've been a busy Peaver etc. (so I hope you haven't been waiting too anxiously to view it my loyal following of one). Anyway here's the womenswear produce of the Versace and H&M romance. Ms. Versace and H and M put on a big show in New York on Tuesday to celebrate their brief love affair.
Royalty was represented in the form of two Princes, however HRH Queen Wintour was M.I.A. Prince Pelayo joined blog buddies like Bryan Boy and fashiontoast, while Princeand Nicki Minajserenaded Mark Ronson, Blake Lively, Alexander Wang, Jessica Alba, Uma Turman, Versace's own Christopher Kane and other fortunate guests.
Like I said in the previous post on Versace for the boys overall the collaboration has been a great success. It represents the Versace archives and is a lovely homage to the late Gianni. Donnatella described it as "The Greatest Hits".
While I'm enamoured by most of the ad campaign I find two outfits slightly dubious. One is a confusing two toned blue, floral print dress with matching cut off leggings; the other is a cushion. You'll see what I'm refering to when you scroll down! While you're free to wander around in outfit that doesn't meet my taste I feel obliged to urge you, please don't take inspiration from the lookbook and start wandering around wearing only household objects. I have to discourage trying the naked holding only a cushion ensemble. It's best left for the clinically insane or within the confines of the boudoir and certainly not for the public.
Cha-cha-check Pharaoh Pea's top fives along with the video of the ad campaign and the show in full way down there.
Versace for H and M goes on sale online and in stores on Thursday 17th November
