An Interview with a Vampire? I Mean…Kiiiiinda? A chat with Lou Graves
Posted by Katherine Rose on
There are few more inspiring and more dapperly dressed individuals than Mr. Lou Graves. I can say this confidently (though perhaps slightly biasedly) because I am lucky enough to call this kind and wonderful person a friend. We sat down, two slightly (or very) overdressed individuals with nowhere to actually go, to have a quick chat via facetime, Lou smiling that devilish smile of his as he poured himself another cup of tea from his slightly ridiculous but incredibly useful teapot-shaped thermos.
‘Oh no! It’s the Outfit Police!’: Constructive Criticism Perfection vs Imperfect Authenticity
Posted by Katherine Rose on
I think modern lolita fashion rules turned this fashion perfect. Perfectly rotten. I’m a bit salty about it, sometimes, to be honest.

A Few Thoughts on Musical Influence on the EGL Fashion Movement
Posted by Katherine Rose on
In Western subcultural practice, there seems to be a consistent trend of having music, or some form of media, fuelling the spirit of the movement, as well as archetypal ideas of overall aesthetic within the movement. There is confusion or disconnect, therefore, between Western perceptions of subcultural activities in the East, that these must function in exactly the same way: that the fashion movement and spirit of EGL must have been born from the music. This is not necessarily completely true: this notion must be looked at from a variety of angles to understand music and musical performance’s relation to EGL fashion subculture as a whole.
Reclaiming the Movement – EGL Sustainability Focus
Posted by Katherine Rose on
In the veins of the brand is a spirit that revels in a radical and revolutionary way of life, and a striving towards creating change. A priority within the vision of R. R. Memorandum has therefore always been sustainability. These last couple of years have seen an awakening of wider society to the damaging effect of fast fashion, mass production and the toxic cycle of consumer culture (buy – use – break – throw away – buy).
The August Stock Update is Here!

In this update, much anticipated skirts are here! Their fully shirred waistband means they can be slipped on to any outfit with minimal fuss. Having had a body that had rapidly changed over the past couple of years (like most people!), I value clothes that adapt to your body, not having to adapt your body to the clothes. The design also serves this purpose! The cotton lace trim and ruffle is a classic and timeless aesthetic that can be dressed up or down, in high quality materials that bring texture into an outfit.
