Anger for Missoni
I know this is old news (it was made for the Autumn/Winter 2010 ad campaign) but I've only just discovered it today. Kenneth Anger for Missoni.
Lady in Red
I stumbled upon this picture online (no idea who it is or who it's by)
but the hair & make-up and styling remind me of one of my all-time favourite style heroines, La Marchesa Casati:
although the colours remind me more of the Otto Dix (another favourite) painting of Anita Berber (ditto):
If anyone has any information about the origins of the top photograph, who it's by and whether it's part of a series - I'd love to see more - then please let me know! x Oh and Merry Yule/Happy New Year!

This is relatively old news, but I just discovered it today:
Necklace by Matthew Williamson, inspired by the work of Glasgow artist Jim Lambie. Created as part of Williamson's collection for Atelier Swarovski and featured in his SS10 runway show.
Her name is Rio...
Patrick Nagel was an American artist famous for his Deco-inspired fashion illustrations of beautiful women.
His style was influenced in equal parts by the perspectives and line work of Japanese woodcuts and the poses and glamour of Art Deco muses.
He completed the picture which was to appear on Duran Duran's Rio album in 1982, only 2 years before his sudden death at the age of 38.

Inspiration for a photo shoot I did today...

Emma Bell
From her SS10 collection.
Visit her site to browse through past collections. I really like her AW09 stuff, especially the yellow trousers with the dog on the crotch and the carnival masks over the boobs in a sort of coconut bra. Her designs remind me of 1980s Bodymap:
...a label whose influence can be seen EVERYWHERE today. The pattern on the long socks in the picture above is not too dissimilar to the pattern used on American Apparel leggings and skirts, for example.
For me, Emma Bell's creations also pay homage to work by artists such as Claes Oldenburg:
And Sarah Lucas:
As well as one of my favourite designers, Pam Hogg:
(vintage Hogg - Flowers of Scotland collection, 1987)
I could go on and on about Pam Hogg because I think she's brilliant, but I'd better not lose my thread.
Emma Bell.
Yep. Visit her blog and follow her adventures!
