Central Saint Martins BA Show 2011

Ok sorry about the imaginative titling, my brain has just been fashion fried but in a good way. The show as Ed and I would say was 'totes amaze'. My favourite collections were mostly from print (but thats probably just me being aesthetically biased),  menswear however, was also really exciting.

My favourite favourite collection, and I pretty much decided this from when I saw it at the internal show, and you can see nothing there, was from a print student, Momo Wang. It had amazing energy, pretty much everyone in the audience smiled as the models skipped down the runway. It seemed to encapsulate a fun feeling that, I think, fashion can sometimes overlook.  ANYWAY photos are what you want to see most, right?!

 Another of my favourites, again a print student , was from Manami (I don't know their second name !) The collection was dreamy and very childlike. It reminded me of 1960s children's illustrations...

 So enough of print, on to menswear! HORRAY! So for my course we have to follow a student and I got menswear student, Kopi Akasaka. I'm so happy as I  love love his work! Its beautifully made, he is so precise, its amazing. I especially love the cuts of the coats, in particular the maroon one in the second image.

  The last collection to be shown, I believe a womenswear student, Crimson Rose O'Shea. Amazing textures and fabrics.

So there you go ! A few of the best, there were of course lots more (including a strangely dystopian collection of knitwear..) but I shall have to do another post when my brain is less frazzled !

Darling! I dressed up especially.

Ed called 'darlinggg I have so much to tell you, can we meet tonight?'

We met ate, drank and considered our options. Ed's friend was having a soiree a few minutes away from my home. Devine. A slick of lipstick and thousand photos later , we were standing in a house pouting. SHOULD WE GO HOME? yes yes I think we should.

Anyway I'm off to lunch in Islington so I have to dash!
p.s look forward to Tuesday.. I'll be posting pics of the Saint Martins show, yummeee !

I know a Few alleys around here...

So from the successful Kenton Magazine shoot, the very talented photographer Charlotte Bibby (check out her website www.charlottebibbyphotogragphy.com) asked me to come and style a shoot for her! AMAZE! see people making an effort everyday is worth it! The shoot took place in Old street and was for Model Tim's Portfolio for M&P Models. Oh! Okay initial panic being where will i get all these clothes from, I have no money left after weeks of dinner for two in London! Oh wait his measurements are the same as mine.... hmmm??? Time to whip out some of my key designer pieces i feel. So with a stash of classic Nicole Fahi numbers along with up and coming design companies such as SPARKS i met up with the darling Roisin Kinch (Hair and Make-up genius) to discuss looks and ideas for the shoot. I need lots of rings, a look that says oh i just threw this on and contains an earthy colour palette.... done! The shoot was really fun, we did have a studio with the initial idea of doing roof top shots over east-london however the rare opportunity of the sun and it being rather quiet led us to take the shoot to the streets. Dip-diving into bars and pubs, down alleys and shop changing rooms to create the outfits was an experience if nothing else. The shoot was such fun if not surreal seeing someone walking around in your clothes and wearing them well frankly better then you do is a bit off putting... :(. Roisin seeing my upset to the realisation that i will never get signed to M&P took me for lunch at a fab little Italian and we gossiped about boys, clubbing and shoes.... all in all the life of a stylist is exactly what you think it would be. A huge thank you for to Tim, Roisin and Charlotte for giving me this opportunity! 

oh and a huge thankyou you to Jessica Cooper and Sarah Hall for the scarves!! xx

UpTown DayDream

Okay the past few blogs have been pretty vague.com, but i have actually been really busy busy busy the past few months... so many fun blog worthy stuff has happened that i have failed to share with you lovelies! I have had the pleasure of assisting the fabulous Harry Riley (check out his website www.harryriley.com,  that's right international bitches) with his set design antics. This has included helping out with editorials, stage performances and even music videos! The other day i found myself running across london with three sheep skull masks hunting for the right fringing... when asked on Berwick street if the hats were for Gaga i merely replied with no comment and a cheeky wink ;). This will be an endless mission to attempt to blog about everything in one go so my next few blogs will be focused on some of the different things we have been up too... along with some more fun dinner for two moments. The first shoot we did was for Kenton online magazine... go check it we are credited. The shoot took place in the fabulous house designed specifically for photoshoots... would love to have a party there truly stunning interior. However not stunning enough for Riley, more draping, more throw cushions, more tassels, more, more! Okay! JEEZ! So after a few carefully placed frames and sets we were ready for the gorgeous model (who you may recognize form Britans next top model) Amelia Thomas. The photoshoot turned out really well and was such a fun relaxed day of playing with expensive accessories and discussing the fact that downstairs the latest Diesel campaign was being shot... oh some jeans went missing how odd! 

Dinner for two

 So darling Ed phones me and we chat, he moans that he's bored, I moan that I have too much work. The result? lets meet at 8 , at Liverpool Street. A flurry of clothes later and I'm standing in Spitalfields with him choosing between Japanese or Latino food (I chose Latino, I didn't think wearing a kimono would work in a Japanese restaurant.. too much?) Anyway we ended up in a lovely place, beautiful seats and candles! The food was delishhh, Ed and I both opted for an amazing Brazilian curry which came with jasmine rice and plantoon ! YUMMMEE.

Then we took to the streets with my new cam and posed the night away....
