Prada Fantasy Lookbook Spring 2012














Richard Hamilton's 1956 collage, Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing?
An obvious comparison...

Stella McCartney A/W 2012 Evening Collection








(via Fashion Gone Rogue)
Quite aptly this collection reminds me of a butterfly - the swirling, slightly pyschedelic colours and the flowing full skirts and peplum cuts.

The Golden Butterfly (1926)


My first silent film (all the way through), and my wasn't it a good one?! Accompanied by a multi-talented musician (keyboard, flute, accordian etc) it was devoid of any slow, dull moments. It was wonderfully Art Deco and sumptuous in appearance, even if we didn't have the luxury of colour we had the imagery and richness of movement that absorbed the audience into a crysalis of fascination and enjoyment.

(Shown as part of the Fashion in Film Festival at the Arnolfini)

Christopher Kane Fall 2012 | LFW

(via Fashion Gone Rogue)

Basically I love winter florals and heavy knits. Mmmmmm, winter florals, heavy knits, winter florals, heavy knits... and perhaps a touch of leather.

Ô Paon



I very fortunately worked the event tonight at the Arnolfini. Admittedly I'd never heard of Earth let alone Ô Paon but I certainly know them now. Earth, possibly for all the wrong reasons. Why you would want to listen to 15 minute inexplicable droning instrumentals is beyond me. With each song sounding identical to the previous, it was a surprise to see the extent of their following - people could actually differentiate between songs and even cheered on occasion, astounding!. Anyway Ô Paon, on a more positive note, was incredible. One guy in the audience very aptly shouted out 'FUCK' on the applause and followed it with 'You've just blown my tiny mind', and I couldn't have agreed more. Basically, the word talented doesn't do her justice, she's just Ô M G!






The 'Not So' Supermarket


Tomorrow you can find me here... I've embraced the spring clean so I'll be getting rid of LOADS of High Street items; brands such as Topshop, H&M, Motel, American Apparel and Urban Outfitters, £3 and under!

Erdem Fall 2012 | LFW


I want to drip in every piece of this. I own a lot of bold florals so perhaps I can create my own rendition...
