In the Company of Wolves
Just a few images I managed to get from standing on a table at the back. The hair and make-up team did a brilliant job again.
Philip Treacy
I'm about to embark on making the all important headpiece for my Izzy Blow costume and am in need of some inspiration from her favourite milliner.....
Zobop
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.
ISSA
Time for another wordy post. I always get in the habit of updating with some pretty pictures when I can't think of anything to say, but I'll try and summon up some musings today.
Issa isn't a label I know very much about (but things gonna change) but when I was indulging in my main hobby of 'browsing internet for nice pix' I came across their A/W 2010 catwalk collection and boy is it ME all over..... Feast your eyes:
Red lips? Check. Oversized shades? Check. Shiny shiny leather? Check. The classic movie star-style headscarf scaffolded by the towering quiff is so perfect I could maybe squeeze out a small salty tear. At the moment I may be suffering a fringe but in the past I've always been a s.t.a.u.n.c.h devotee of the quiff/shades/lippie combination.
The 'Q/S/L' when combined with the black headscarf reminds me so much of fashion designer/writer/filmmaker/muse Diane Pernet. Her white skin and kabuki-style black mane set off by a veil and impenetrable shades hae become her trademark and made her an instant favourite of mine.
So, even though the end of Summer fills me with dread (even more so this year - this will be my last EVER 'school holiday' as I'm going into my last year at university. Next summer will be filled with the fear and loathing of having to get a job and enter the real world), the appearance of the A/W clothes in the shops never ceases to excite me. I'll be stocking up on headscarves, cape-like jackets, leather opera gloves and layering different textures of black in true goth fashion. I can't wait - and because I live in Scotland I probably WON'T have to wait very long.......
Til the next time I'm feeling verbally inclined! x
Mulberry A/W 2010
I'm always a sucker for big hair, especially hair that manages to defy gravity while still seeming soft and 'undone' (because I've found this is often the most difficult look to achieve). As well as the hair, another thing Mulberry have got right is the soft leather jackets with cute doll-like collars. The top photo pretty much sums up my ideal day-to-evening outfit. I need to find a pair of knee-high boots like those, and a jacket like the one in the third photo. Add some backcombing and a good hairspray and I'll be sorted for A/W. Maybe...
Gabriella Marina Gonzales
I absolutely love the work of this young designer:
Her latest collection can be ordered from Machine-A Boutique, 60 Berwick Street, Soho, London. You can read her blog at http://gabriellamarinagonzales.blogspot.com/ - as well as posting photos of her designs, she uploads lots of illustrations and collages she makes.
Ziad Ghanem
I can't believe it has taken me this long to discover Ziad Ghanem - his designs are exactly the kind of thing I'm researching for my own work right now. I also love his choice of models. Although I'm a fan of skinny, you do get bored of seeing girls who look sexless and identical shuffling down the catwalk. These women have tits and killer legs and they look like they're enjoying themselves and enjoying wearing the garments.
