Watch out for this trend

Over London Fashion Week there were a lot of inspiring collections. I specifically liked Matthew Williamson’s and Christopher Kane’s S/S 2010 collections. They both had cut away sections of the garments, which was very effective.

Some thing to check out ...

The last issue of Vogue had a fascinating article about Scott Schuman AKA the blogger of ‘The Sartorialist’. His blog is 110% worth checking out : http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

An insight into the work jiggerypokery achieves

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to work with jiggerypokery (Anna and Lauren two very talented individuals) along with other interns, to build a set for the Vauxhall ‘Skates’ party. The theme being 70’s disco, roller skates and lashings of colour. We got stuck into the fun straight away, painting, sewing, pealing self-adhesive vinyl, and taking trips around London for bits and pieces. The final staging was amazing! (take a look below) The event was held at a secrete location in East London, where the re-touched Vauxhall cars where to be displayed. One was painted by Kate Moross, in a rainbow of coloured triangles, and black lines. The graphic design was fantastic! (but check it out for yourself, below) In the evening Sophie Ellis Bextor was behind the DJ booth, which brought many people to the dance floor. To accompany the good music, there was plenty of free Bacardi Mojito, to help the invited to the dance floor. Then for the enthusiastic skaters, and the more reserved viewers, there were buckets of popcorn and hot dogs to top up on.

Take a look at this roller disco party ....

My favourite head pieces at the moment . . .

Are these fantastically large head bands by Jonny Loves Rosie. They are an art piece and a statement all mixed into one. Does this mean big is back ?

Exciting Collaboration

While I was at the V&A Village Fete I stumbled across this fun stand called ‘Cake + Make’. It was a store full of wonderful cakes, that were either ceramic or knitted. There was also the option of making your own! This fantastic collection was created by Robert Archard and Donna Wilson.

Prada's temporary shop

Prada has recently displayed their collection among ‘Mirabeau Bridge’ and a ‘Parisian street scene’. The five month temporary shop at Place Beauvau, was inspired by the French poem ‘Le Pont Mirabeau’, by Apollinaire.

Heart break

Yesterday, while in Oxford Street I thought I would nip into Borders to look through the fashion magazines. When I walked in, I was immediately aware of the huge clearance signs! I couldn’t believe the flag ship store was closing down! Equally as sad was the sight of the empty magazine racks. Obviously the store had not ordered more due to the closure. I felt pretty up set. So I made a dash for a Starbucks Strawberry Frappachino, that always cheers me up.
