Reading and Q&A at Soho
House with PindropWhere do you draw the line? I'll be doing a little monologue reading and Q&A in conjunction with Pindrop studios next Wednesday 21st September at the Soho House and it's all about style, seeing as we've just had London Fashion Week. I'll be giving you a glimpse into my background and philosophising about how my life has led me to some entriquing style conundrums in the present day. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPTRAMFgWuwfa1xYJ6nNMV-sB5XNYWXAWPGZ9Ybgm98nJlZxqOS8mEN5I_IyxiN9SXhOd3cPtFKNPbN-BeAcWkg2qxwy7UzOnAUoeEBN9raoOk5NAhHD5eadY7zlW2zJKD8WN-CX0wYE8/s640/blogger-image-344100544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPTRAMFgWuwfa1xYJ6nNMV-sB5XNYWXAWPGZ9Ybgm98nJlZxqOS8mEN5I_IyxiN9SXhOd3cPtFKNPbN-BeAcWkg2qxwy7UzOnAUoeEBN9raoOk5NAhHD5eadY7zlW2zJKD8WN-CX0wYE8/s640/blogger-image-344100544.jpg"></a></span><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both;">http://pindropstudio.com/narrator/princess-julia/</div><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both;"><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font color="#0000ee"><u><br></u></font></div><br></div><div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15474009645410365140noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632391724699242315.post-51318632643316828972016-06-17T11:02:00.001-07:002016-06-17T11:02:00.232-07:00My London Collections: Men SS 2017 Round Up!There's just so many clothes in the world to choose from I find. Every London fashion season I endeavour to go and see some shows and as London Cllections:Men SS 2017 has just had its gamut of presentations and wot not I had a whizz around supporting what I could. Here in London we're known for our unique take on style with often quirky ensembles on the catwalk. We're also known for our tip top craftsmanship, cut of cloth and traditional tailoring.<div><br><div>So, with much interest I gate crashed the Topman show (I'm a bit useless at organising myself at times). This is a sort of showcase collection, not sure if much of it gets into the stores tbh. They did a sort of seaside theme referencing a nostalgic trip to Margate - and other resorts which have become somewhat of a trend to upping sticks and moving to. It was cute take and I noticed a return of the longer length Teddy Boy drape jacket which I liked. </div><div><br></div><div>I always go to the MAN show, (no actual physical ticket again), and this was a treat! Fantastic installation from Tony Hornecker upon arrival at show space Ambika 3. Loads of mattresses piled high with models slumped against this haphazard heap dressed in flowing blue denim trews teamed with cotton drill shirts who then wheeled the whole thing off. Who was the designer? </div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div>I<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> was watching out for Charles Jeffrey's 3rd MAN catwalk show and once again he came up with the sort of stuff I live for. He said to me something about 'drunken tailoring' a while ago. Actually this wasn't so drunken, just a bit slightly tipsy I'd say because the tailoring was all very fluid feeling, fitted and swishy very good indeed. Models walked in Dr Marten customised block heeled hoofs and then these great clodhoppers of wooden platform shoes scraped their way down the rose petal and salt strewn catwalk to quite an abstract soundtrack of music. Clothes wise from the beginning the tipsy tailored looks progressed with knitwear laced into abstract jumpers, those sort of trousers we used to call a 'peg', rolled up and a sweatpant ensemble with a fully fitted corset. It's all very gawd er, yeah, can I say this? Yeah why not, unisex... A real dressing up box of a show which ended with a floor length blue trapeze line coat topped off with a big old crystallised looking head piece. </span></div><div><br></div><div>I then managed to cage a lift over to 180 The Strand (show spaces were kind of a rigmarole to get to this season) for the Bobby Abbley show... Oh gawd no physical ticket again! Bobby is hooked on these Disney films, Alladin was his theme and as always he brought an element of fun and optimism to the equation. Using neoprene, sequins, slogans and bold shapes it was sexy and you walked away smiling. We like that!</div><div><br></div><div>Okay what next? Oh yeah in between all that I somehow went to the Barbour presentation which actually quite fascinating as I recently explained to Ludo at Sabrinas house the other night. They had the original battered Barbours pinned up with text explaining this and that while the models wore the updated versions. I found it quite informative and wanted to touch the originals as did everyone else.</div><div><br></div><div>Blimey then, I crammed a lot in, back to Baker Street where I discretely slid in for Craig Greens show. Layers and layers of signature quilting delicately washed out and strung together formed the backbone of this collection but it was the elements of tailoring that caught my eye at the onset of his show. Very nice indeed. </div><div><br></div><div>Back up to the Strand space and after we went for a lemonade top entered the world of Henry Hollands 90s rave inspired collection. It was great the way you passed through 3 rooms, the first as though you were entering a club then the second where a DJ was banging out the tunes then finally ducking through a curtain you entered the presentation. Boys very casual and chatting to us, we liked that as they happily posed for pictures. Some great pieces here, a t-shirt with nipple rings. Embroidered denim, sweats emblazoned with smiley motifs and oh even some pearl button appliqué. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6teW6zZ2AQU1rDiXRdIC5AP5T-gR1NkVttKV2m-wwkFK20Os5q5UgjgZrV0jk6W15UvRIiNRydQ-RzqkqLzsK_oQ9mEkBfqsW5SweWO5QahPtbyzPLAVH83zyegxDVZ8Mp8LJsixoaTw/s640/blogger-image-804017985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6teW6zZ2AQU1rDiXRdIC5AP5T-gR1NkVttKV2m-wwkFK20Os5q5UgjgZrV0jk6W15UvRIiNRydQ-RzqkqLzsK_oQ9mEkBfqsW5SweWO5QahPtbyzPLAVH83zyegxDVZ8Mp8LJsixoaTw/s640/blogger-image-804017985.jpg"></a></div> Henry Hollands rave boys</div><div><br></div><div>We then went to see the floating jewellery and installation of Alan Crochetti, which very cleverly William Farr had conceived. Alan was so cute getting those faux rocks spinning just right he even did a little bit of filming for me!</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Anyway oh yeah, the Fashion East presentations taking place in a disused shop space in Charlotte Street was a total fave. (And my physical ticket arrived in the nick of time!) In the basement the Rottingdean Bazaar got me all ooing and ahhing with their crammed in corner spilling out with ideas. They do these badges - Badge Taste they're called on Instagram, then they had these t-shirts, top and sweat tops that they'd somehow embossed with actual things like ecru panty hose and fag ends pressed onto. They've done the same thing with real actual flowers too. There was an embellished chair and lining a wall panel these clocks with fag ends in place of the numbers, yeah I definitely wanted one of those! </span></div><div>Got to mention they had some delish Bloody Mary's on the go and some very delish artisanal cheese and chutney buns from A Little of What You Fancy, the restaurant on Kingsland Road. I took some for my mum to sample much to her delight. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgki2eKT_81gRZlWwBtcS5N6FCoCU9nEyClMXwHrf8MGkkOx98W7NHJdRAZ-wo3ELRt1LGZJZeHEOZAxX1YwgDuP4BeNFHyqY_fUo_p5UcZ3rd5i77AsJ0ez11Du3cJ8DOmvymOzxA5OOI/s640/blogger-image--1469566776.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgki2eKT_81gRZlWwBtcS5N6FCoCU9nEyClMXwHrf8MGkkOx98W7NHJdRAZ-wo3ELRt1LGZJZeHEOZAxX1YwgDuP4BeNFHyqY_fUo_p5UcZ3rd5i77AsJ0ez11Du3cJ8DOmvymOzxA5OOI/s640/blogger-image--1469566776.jpg"></a></div> Rottingdean Bazaar at Fashion East</div><div><br></div><div>Here we go again, running across town in the pouring rain back to 180 The Strand I got the number 1 bus this time and with an actual ticket sat down for Lou Daltons show. She's so sweet inviting me and this was a very well thought out collection of spot on tailoring, fabric and cut. Looked very chic. A spot of tangerine colourfulness accenting her colour palette the whole thing was so what the modern man wants to wear, and a few pieces us girls wouldn't mind as well!</div><div><br></div><div>I didn't get to go and see the Sibling show but it looked a riot online, hot boys and girls (they've combined their men's show with their womenswear I case you didn't know) really fantastic graphic knits and shapes in primary colours, it all looks really fresh and optimistic which in these times is what we really need quite frankly! </div><div><br></div><div>And I didn't get to see Christopher Shannon's show this season either, what a flake I am, anyway he's hit the nail on the head with his fab take on hashtag slogans I must say.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15474009645410365140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632391724699242315.post-70315630736337143102016-06-02T16:58:00.001-07:002016-06-02T16:58:21.686-07:00MAY 2016 TALKS & MORE TALKS!<div>Last May I went to a number of talks. I've outdone myself with panel discussions, presentations and interviews.</div><div><br></div><div>On Monday 16th May I checked into Fashion Street (where else!) just off Brick Lane and the Isituto Marangoni where said fashion journalist Jessica Bumpus and international milliner, dear friend and ex flatmate Stephen Jones held court at this rather chic Italian fashion college. Stephen has a coach load of fantastic stories to reveal, I could listen to him all night tbh. Loved hearing about his friendship with Anna Piaggi who often asked for hats at a moments notice. I credit Stephen with putting hats back on the map in the late 70s after studying fashion at St Martins when it soon became clear his forte lay in the realm of head gear. He diligently established himself as he went about reinventing jaunty angles throughout the 80s, 90s, 00s and up to the present day where he's never been busier. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuqcqhfJdn7eAce-Q-9SddjJCOyKhXTqlg85pPNP4Iyz9DhBLiDDImjo78WRvFH2v1jrWmbyRcKIP_xgki3ZjuJG6ntod5jYo8opKV_hOu1M_CEEu32oSbIaOUnp-aBEhteUrzOruH1s/s640/blogger-image--1297478486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuqcqhfJdn7eAce-Q-9SddjJCOyKhXTqlg85pPNP4Iyz9DhBLiDDImjo78WRvFH2v1jrWmbyRcKIP_xgki3ZjuJG6ntod5jYo8opKV_hOu1M_CEEu32oSbIaOUnp-aBEhteUrzOruH1s/s640/blogger-image--1297478486.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Tuesday 20th I managed to gate crash the legendary mime, dance choreographer Linsay Kemp’s evening soirée at the Miranda in the basement of Shoreditch’s Ace Hotel. Omg! This was too much. Interviewed by Marc Almond and biographer Nicholas Pegg the 2 hour presentation consisted of rare archive film and performance but it was Lindsay Kemp’s honest accounts that had us howling with laughter as he recanted a past so astounding we audibly gasped! This talk centred around his work with David Bowie at the beginning of his career in the late 60s and 70s, how they met and their love affair. Lindsay delivered a colourful and camp line of repartee in the most adorable way. His legacy of visionary moments is as relevant today as it was back then I'm pleased to say. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvtMACWcntPKoNx3P2qp8q7C1TkhdwVha74f896E6WdAUQZRcZn6KBb3gt9-bX9wozSUPd-yM48bo29qVRdO8M4_6I6apEoHEQeL77y7AO6Rb18GLbRfi6dSOIMdW0xlATICmEajI_PVA/s640/blogger-image--2044754329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvtMACWcntPKoNx3P2qp8q7C1TkhdwVha74f896E6WdAUQZRcZn6KBb3gt9-bX9wozSUPd-yM48bo29qVRdO8M4_6I6apEoHEQeL77y7AO6Rb18GLbRfi6dSOIMdW0xlATICmEajI_PVA/s640/blogger-image--2044754329.jpg"></a></div>Archive photo of Lindsey Kemp by Joe Gaffney</div><div><br></div><div>This next excursion is a regular occurrence on my ‘go to’ calendar. Not strictly a talk as such but a presentation and one not to be missed. It's the MAC Cosmetics trend report hosted by the super charismatic and talented make up artist Terry Barber. That was on Wednesday 18th. I just can't get enough of Terry explaining the inspirations behind the looks we see on catwalks the world over. Each season Terry oversees the moods of face painting from the pallet of MAC for the season ahead. So we're looking at A/W 2016… MAC do a lot of shows and it's fascinating the way designers work with makeup artists to create a look. Guesting the brilliant Marion Newman the mother of all nail technicians. Her inventive take on nail art is a continual reinvention. Top tip... It's all about long nails and an added back of the nail embellishment this season! </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfbmKEONtH7drdiZ5ShA1c8JQrl4PitZNxbKvAQiyL7HPbZqjeE6iRcyG1JYyUAYhyrBYzMBBtoLQxRPuf_pk93dskDCy7aZ2JybVou6V7f6WNH1_pniF77hBTtHL7DmeFkhLTZGhMV3s/s640/blogger-image--656297810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfbmKEONtH7drdiZ5ShA1c8JQrl4PitZNxbKvAQiyL7HPbZqjeE6iRcyG1JYyUAYhyrBYzMBBtoLQxRPuf_pk93dskDCy7aZ2JybVou6V7f6WNH1_pniF77hBTtHL7DmeFkhLTZGhMV3s/s640/blogger-image--656297810.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Magazine Man About Town hosted a fascinating glimpse into the archive work of punk maverick Malcom McClaren at the ICA on Friday 20th. MAT have created a beautiful spread within its pages of the latest issue with photography by Alasdair McLellan of McClaren and Westwoods early 80s collections before they went their separate ways. As the keeper of Malcom’s intellectual archive Young Kim (his partner of 12 years up until his death) introduced a series of monologues covering the continual reinvention of the Kings Road shop from Let It Rock into Sex, Seditionaires and finally Worlds End. Joining Young on the panel editor of Man About Town Ben Reardon, writer & archivist Paul Gorman and last minute addition architect Simon Withers (who replaced designer and archivist Kim Jones who as director of the ICA Gregor Muir explained was unable to make it). Simon worked closely with Mclaren and Westwood in the early 80s as they pioneered their fashion concepts. His insightful take added the missing link in the story of how their work was perceived at the time, an insiders view so to speak. Decades later we are still looking at these collections which are as relevant today as they were back then with a sense of discovery. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGy7W37UWslzPBIn9N0dBXm5corpx2ghYUa5XIVDKx-fwN9VOllclGTdww_55CuRzqb2-VSZ6EW0Lqq21YDxGOdJGYabzDI1EnCxgogiTG-ExHoxgHfP5PlrwEb0HVJ16qnTHMclU-Pt4/s640/blogger-image--859761370.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGy7W37UWslzPBIn9N0dBXm5corpx2ghYUa5XIVDKx-fwN9VOllclGTdww_55CuRzqb2-VSZ6EW0Lqq21YDxGOdJGYabzDI1EnCxgogiTG-ExHoxgHfP5PlrwEb0HVJ16qnTHMclU-Pt4/s640/blogger-image--859761370.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A recent trip to Helsinki to DJ for a runaway show after party which took place on an actual flight runway in association with Finnair took me the next day to a great talk at Helsinki arts college on 25th May. An Aalto Fashion seminar with a panel consisting of A Magazine editor Dan Thawley, stylist and style icon Lotta Volkova, artist and model Paul Hemeline, Lou Stoppard who writes and chairs talks at ShowStudio, fashion designer Thomas Tait and book lady Lucy Moore director from Claire De Rouen. I always find chats about process fascinating and this lot certainly go about their business with an open eye within their respective areas. The fact that not only do their disciplines cross over and compliment each other but also create new platforms on how we choose to express ourselves. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCsqWuTcZczA2hyRHpHjjCIr6GV8bWRIG0bYV6KUItYCjhlBwzqrnZMjFoz9WRstr6NGMlHFokn63rPg1bcFIxc7wh9hXLWkMrmZ6ALBUix2zKOOfSM3Aa1u_OxHIVP9BbsZileI0O7lM/s640/blogger-image-176520266.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCsqWuTcZczA2hyRHpHjjCIr6GV8bWRIG0bYV6KUItYCjhlBwzqrnZMjFoz9WRstr6NGMlHFokn63rPg1bcFIxc7wh9hXLWkMrmZ6ALBUix2zKOOfSM3Aa1u_OxHIVP9BbsZileI0O7lM/s640/blogger-image-176520266.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR97nNd6l4ISGVdnvrWdMblVlg4GgqEmS0gnmSfoRdtqY8Ot_eU4og_L1xJquxuPV_ShkNlQcusl1MBi3JFLyjjaqfaz_KEhhZQeQS2K0jj9XwjFP04M_-fk9VxyBWDIIga41khRmsvrI/s640/blogger-image--1046788512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR97nNd6l4ISGVdnvrWdMblVlg4GgqEmS0gnmSfoRdtqY8Ot_eU4og_L1xJquxuPV_ShkNlQcusl1MBi3JFLyjjaqfaz_KEhhZQeQS2K0jj9XwjFP04M_-fk9VxyBWDIIga41khRmsvrI/s640/blogger-image--1046788512.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyUu3NZIaJbesxdYajnTVfR6_m8uZmT06ye1OQzTUs65AdVvfVM-a84eQvSP1zJAlRnBwoZbUAv9SFtAcqFyPVoWeuwxS75fU4tmIJ_XHurVhyphenhyphen0rWBR8jGcBjBB7yOK3z6cTXhyClvC60/s640/blogger-image-1674554192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyUu3NZIaJbesxdYajnTVfR6_m8uZmT06ye1OQzTUs65AdVvfVM-a84eQvSP1zJAlRnBwoZbUAv9SFtAcqFyPVoWeuwxS75fU4tmIJ_XHurVhyphenhyphen0rWBR8jGcBjBB7yOK3z6cTXhyClvC60/s640/blogger-image-1674554192.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15474009645410365140noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632391724699242315.post-49416266520316446442016-03-11T05:20:00.001-08:002016-03-11T11:04:23.414-08:00Picking out things over fashion week AW 2016<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Most days I spend a couple of hours scrolling down my social network feeds clicking on likes and linking up to the stories that fascinate me, obsess me and that are just amusing. I fill my brain with stuff, so much stuff I never knew existed, loads of stuff I do know, some I don't or have forgotten about and the tales of people's lives and my own in a never ending trawl of notes in the form of imagery, film and word. I heart the things that grab my attention on a whim, I leave short amusing comments and sometimes impart a modicum of information or view point. I just do what everybody else does and while the hours away looking and posting. I</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> do go out into the real world and if the mood takes me, whipping out my phone and recording the moment. I’m always obsessed with style and fashion, the people who make it, the people who wear it and the people who write about it. </span></div><div><br></div><div>London Fashion week is where I'm at and this season I helped out at Sibling with some big hand knits, it's sort of like a bit of therapy nipping up their East London studio and knitting away. I went to see Ryan Lo who I adore, Claire Barrow's art installation at the ICA. Popped by Peter Jensen who also did an presentation at the ICA. I took my place at Holly Fulton, Ashley Williams and Gareth Pugh... And of course Fashion East with newcomer Mimi Wade. I basically just go to my friends shows though. Either I'm in the supporting role or iD mag ask me to write a short review, which I love doing. I'm the sort who likes things on the basis of ‘would I wear it?’, yes that old chestnut, I just can't help myself, I pick out things I want and sometimes pick out things for friends, then I take a picture for reference or to post. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimrOHGGrszvl7BT3rSm7bhw0GYlbB4a7A6bumuKQMaeRw5Ay0bUQiYH6Pz63dSl2gedxZEtO1-L4JAgFquTjUyToTcMe6bR5b8sui92dg8xcPlTSq8qPpilUzt3KUMUKOW01S0wEl0uAM/s640/blogger-image-545224012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimrOHGGrszvl7BT3rSm7bhw0GYlbB4a7A6bumuKQMaeRw5Ay0bUQiYH6Pz63dSl2gedxZEtO1-L4JAgFquTjUyToTcMe6bR5b8sui92dg8xcPlTSq8qPpilUzt3KUMUKOW01S0wEl0uAM/s640/blogger-image-545224012.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Sibling...

I'm wondering if it will change? What do you think? Also I'm seeing the continuation of clothes for shows speeding down the catwalks… BIG showstoppers designed to wow us. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Who wears these creations in real life? I know a few that would, but really we all know that designers like to throw a few bits of imaginative pieces in to up the anti and grab some choice moments on our news feeds as well as column inches and well keep us interested in the craft of dressing I love to pursue… And maybe you do too.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8RDyuy066PpuIhA6pJcylkbEpVgcc_JsvcvlcMbQ5GHD9CjGVpwmgcHKkOcXoWdgIcbhyphenhyphenTiRPSREw3AO-70Vpprl8PVhkp22SCiMLBKHGeNiBL0KztzI0I_t4S5eJpmBDwqTQjDw0QY/s640/blogger-image--2080511470.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8RDyuy066PpuIhA6pJcylkbEpVgcc_JsvcvlcMbQ5GHD9CjGVpwmgcHKkOcXoWdgIcbhyphenhyphenTiRPSREw3AO-70Vpprl8PVhkp22SCiMLBKHGeNiBL0KztzI0I_t4S5eJpmBDwqTQjDw0QY/s640/blogger-image--2080511470.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Com Des Garçon pile it on.</div></span></div><div><br></div><div>In London we talk endlessly about ‘street style’ but what is that nowadays? I'll leave you to ponder that one. In Milan there's a sense of business to fashion with an innate Italian chicness to consider, even when it's slightly wacky. In Paris it's all about the certain craft of cut and adornment at its core. New York considers the big sell but everywhere has taken to conceptualism to fashion highs. </div><div><br></div><div>In the space of mere seasons Vetements is where our attentions lie right now what with the Balmain post of designer Vetements collective. What did you think of the drag coming down the catwalk? I have to say I was rather taken with some it and amused with other pieces of rather frumpy looking ensembles. Think they might have overlooked the diversity card though, there's a lot of chit chat online about the casting.</div><div><br></div><div>I saw a lot of things I wanted this a/w 2016 season I wanted I must say. I also thought some things were, dare I say it, designed with me in mind. I’ve been known to feature on a mood board or two, I’m not just making that up, I've actually seen it! <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This Gucci fella Alassandro </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">do dah, bet I'm on his, I don't know him but every collection I've seen has a touch of the PJ’s to it. Where's my drag? What about Marc Jacobs, Margiela and Mui Mui, yeah I must be on their mood boards as well. I'm expecting a few care packages then!</span></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3nEHMBU9WS19T8vYQjYYAjut1d9V3YHGnsj3RjuBUt403FFCNj3ntr8oGZIyzoe2kXO3kFx5a6YAQV55KyCQXNOEorm272e-a9tKvMKNgyzgjcaaBgsOhVfCIIhr6AMmlEtNNTZCspuQ/s640/blogger-image-810795744.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3nEHMBU9WS19T8vYQjYYAjut1d9V3YHGnsj3RjuBUt403FFCNj3ntr8oGZIyzoe2kXO3kFx5a6YAQV55KyCQXNOEorm272e-a9tKvMKNgyzgjcaaBgsOhVfCIIhr6AMmlEtNNTZCspuQ/s640/blogger-image-810795744.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> A bit of Margiela for you.</div><br></div><div>Oh we're most taken with the old (Yves) St. Laurent this season in my camp circles!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last week I went to an informal chat between Cerys Matthews, she of Catatonia and the one and only Lulu to promote Lulu's brand new album 'Making Life Rhyme'. I've actually met Lulu a couple of times and well I stood behind her in the Take That video for the Dan Hartman cover Relight My Fire dressed in a chain-mail bikini, it is a blink and you'll miss me moment btw. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She's been resigned to Decca, and after revealing she's been in a bit of dark place of late Lulu is really feeling the love as she is about to embark on a tour. 'The one thing that's always been there for me is the music', she says. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She first signed to Decca at the age of 14 and pretty swiftly became a sensation singing all those songs we know and love her for... Shout, To Sir With Love the list goes on, I liked it when she dueted with Bowie for The Man Who Sold The World lol. Cerys was really good at taking a trip down Lulu's memory lane bringing up her tv career highlights like when Jimi Hendrix decided to change tack on one of her shows launching into a Cream song by way of a dedication. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lulu always saw herself as a singing artist-not a songwriter so this album is a bit of a revelation, both on a personal level and in the wider scheme of things. Writing with her brother Billy Lawrie Lulu has been witness to some great songwriters of our time, Elton John, Barry Gibb... Somewhere along the line she's subconsciously been taking notes because she's honed her own songwriting skills and let it be known Lulu can write a hook!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Her style is a bit blusey, her raspy soulful voice is well suited to her old style r 'n' b and she looks like she's rather enjoying herself. As she so aptly put it, 'It started with the music and it's ended with the music'. </span></div>

Are bouffants about to make a come back?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most iconic hairstyles the beehive or bouffant has been ruling since the 50's. I believe 'Teasy Weasy' Raymond Bessone is likely to have been the originator although it's said </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Margaret Vinci Heldt apparently invented it in 1960.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a look that the wearer automatically gets the sense of dynamic elegance, I worked a bouffant in the late 70's for about 5 years and it gave me a defining style. I often revisit the old beehive for an airing. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is it only me but have you noticed the way illustration on fashion is a thing for the coming season. I'm a regular supporter of London fashion Week and keep an eye what's going on further afield...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Let's start off with James Long and James Davison's transported work. James has been busy sketching away on the front rows this season but for James Davison his drawings became part of the fabric. Davison says he felt quite detached once he saw his artwork being worn. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Personally I like the way artwork</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> takes on another life away from the flatness of paper. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lot's to report over the next few months one of which is that I've been asked to dress a Christmas tree for Make Hackney Sparkle this year. What is Make hackney Sparkle? Well I heard about it last year as fashion designer Louise Gray dressed a tree, but it's basically a series of events around Hackney. In this case 5 trees are selected to stand in 5 areas around East London, local designers and creatives are then asked to dress a tree. I'm doing the Shoreditch one this year, James Long is taking part along with menswear designers Lou Dalton and Craig Green. I'm looking forward to what they are going to do.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've decided to pay homage to the drag, trans, LGBT, dressing up and performance community in the area by dressing the tree with drag heels gleaned from friends and topping it off with some huge gonky wigs. I feel it's very important that our presence in the area is represented... all those years dragging our heels around local hotspots in full makeup helping to make Hackney such a vibrant and cultural and hopefully safe area! I am also thinking about traditional and historical drag i.e. Cinderella and the Pantomime Dame. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyway here are some preliminary ideas so you get the picture...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.derekridgers.com/homepage/Welcome.html"><i>Derek Ridgers</i></a></b> described himself as a 'rank amateur' when he first started out. Equipped with 'one camera and one lens', he later expanded on his kit in order to capture his vision with more versatility. His subjects are the people you might look twice at when passing them in the street. I've been one of them down the years. An unassuming man preferring his role as documenter and social voyeur, polite to the extreme he always asks his subjects permission to photograph them, <b>'I was never interested in photographing people unless they were looking at the lens'. </b>Perhaps Derek sees himself as an outsider, in actual fact he has become an integral 'insider', his photographic reportage being pivotal in recording transitional era's of dressing from the mid 70's onwards. In his latest book <i><b>78- 87 London Youth</b></i> Ridgers reveals a counter culture of people obsessed with personal style, pointing his lens towards the characters that populate our fair city you get the feeling he himself is both obsessed and intrigued. Dressing in outlandish style or belonging to one particular scene is not something Ridger's feels compelled to do on a personal level but it's something he feels driven to document, 'I suppose I might have been fashionable when I was 15 [years old] for ten minutes'. His stern father mocked him at a tender age telling the young Derek he could not wear a seemingly garish item of apparel of Derek's own choice out in the street, at the time Derek quickly responded with a quip, 'Well can I wear it indoors then?'</span><br />

Galleria Lorcan O'Neill <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Last weekend I went over to Rome for Lorcan O'Neill's new gallery opening at 3 Vicolo Dei Catinari and to dj at the after party. First of all I should say it's been a while since I've been to Rome and in fact since I left dear old Hackney Road! I do like traveling don't get me wrong - not so keen on the train, plane process of actually getting somewhere. Once I'm at said chosen destination I love it. Anyway Rome, yeah, blazing hot and a lot of cobble stones not ideal for a lady like me who likes to add the inches with an ankle strapped hoof. Still though I managed! The Gallery is something to behold, up it's cobble stoned entrance and a slice of old Rome greets you in the form of a ornate fountain. It's a bit crumbling but there are plans to get it back to it's former glory.<br />

The entrance is to the left btw. The debut group show consists Richard Long, Jeff Wall and Enrico Castellani. I'm a great fan of Richard Longs work... Devonshire mud paintings and rock installations. Richard Long was actually there and I actually got to meet him and have a chat. Fan facts: did you know Richard Long once made a bow tie out of a cereal packet when he was at college in the 60's. Gilbert & George were his class mates and he likes to have a disco dance on occasion.<br />

Jeff Wall was also there, and a cast of artists and supporters on the wildly hot and glamourous evening of Friday 4th July. Later we made our way to Gilda, a disco which looked liked something straight out of the 80's for a light bite and a proper dance. Yes and everyone danced as I played a selection of old and new disco plus favourites.<br />

Next day a special lunch... complete with speeches.<br />

'Princess Julia in Meadham Kirchhoff' in the BP Awards 2014 - National Portrait Gallery - by Ben Ashton<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last week saw the grand unveiling of the <a href="http://www.npg.org.uk/"><b>National Portrait Gallery</b></a>'s annual BP Awards. Now in it's 25th year which went up last week. Yeah and you'll never guess what artist Ben Ashton did one of me. 'Princess Julia in <b><a href="http://www.meadhamkirchhoff.com/">Meadham Kirchhoff</a></b> is quite a thing. Life size and quite imposing, here's what <b><a href="http://londoncalling.com/features/bp-portrait-award-2014#2V4E01w2b1vUoPcX.01">London Calling</a></b> said... <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">'<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;">This year’s submissions certainly capture the spirit and personality of their subjects. Some of the more notable portraits include Ben Ashton’s painting of <span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Princess Julia in Meadham Kirchhoff.</span> Demonstrating a painting style suggestive of a fashion photograph, Ashton encapsulates the strong, fearless and imposing presence of Princess Julia on an otherwise bare canvas. Her unique fashion sense is unapologetic and bold, making this portrait one of the highlights of the exhibition.' </span></span></i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's painted on raw canvas so you know it's a painting, Ashton's technique is what you might call hyperreal. When I went to the launch I noticed how people were peering at it closely. Fascinating.</span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I first painted Princess Julia back in 2010 for a charity auction. Since then she has been a fantastic advocate for my work and I have kept her in mind as a subject due to her striking looks and exceptional style. As Julia has held the title of Princess for many years, it seemed fitting for her to be portrayed as royalty. I proposed the regal concept to Julia, and it put her immediately in mind of the design duo Meadham Kirchoff. Their look is both reminiscent of a bygone era and completely modern, and perfectly suits this satirical take on a royal portrait.<br /><br />I chose to leave the linen bare around her to really accentuate the richness of the garments. There is something quintessentially British about both monarchy and rebellion that is encapsulated in Julia's pose, and indeed in Julia herself. With her hands on her hips, echoing many a Tudor painting, she judges the viewer defiantly.<br /><br />I also asked Julia to write a few of her own words about the painting, as I view this piece as a collaboration:<br /><br />"There's nothing I like more than delving into the dressing up box. When Ben Ashton asked to paint me, we conjured up a spark of an idea and I immediately thought of designers Edward Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff. I have been an avid fan of their work for some time now; the world they create on the catwalk is fantastical and heady, a story unfolding. Likewise, Ben Ashton attends to his painterly detailing with intensity; his artistry is at once traditional and contemporary in execution. A story unfolds with each brush stroke."<br /> - Princess Julia.</span></i></span></div>
