You've just entered a field with Wednesday Adams riding on a Unicorn, with stars and candy floss clustered around the scene. That's what I think whilst viewing Yohji Yamamoto and Giles Deacon SS11. I was completely dazed out of my mind. Both collections so vibrant; yet so different. Yohji Yamamoto takes on the twist of Industrial Gothic Wonderland. Contrasting textures and sudden outbursts of colours and stylised phycadelic iconography, topped with an intricate use of layering and shapes. Giving the feel of a raw Geisha. Where as Giles Deacon enters the Sorbet neon coloured cross Industrial World, influenced by the 90's. The collections gives the feel of the whole-trashy-burn-out-celebrity feel, complimented with almost drag styled make-up. Yet all the cross themes work with trainers, structured bodices, floaty silk skirts to 50's cat eye glasses, the contrasts building up to show off the style of 90's at its best, with an edge of course. I think I'll be needing a pair of neon trainers, I'm thinking chunky and metallic.

As for my outfit it was inspired the two collections. Sadly I had to put it tougher in a space of 5 mins, so next outfit will probably still be in ore of the collections and so will hopefully be better. (It looks very bland, a bit of a disappointment to post it on here, plus was wearing Patent Dr Martins which added to the look.)

Plus don't forget to check out pieces form my collection that you can purchase now. Hopefully this post has warmed you towards the pieces with the use of contrasting textures, and gothic wonderland essences (which can also be seen in Alexander Wang SS11). You can see how to purchase here.

Sorry for the delay between blog posts, it feels like I've had a lot of work yet I haven't got much done- as usual. Whilst musing over Pre Fall 2011 Collections, such as Balenciaga, Viktor and Rolf, Albino, Moschino to Philosophy; I got a regal and preppy vibe, clashed with chinese styled embroidery (to a certain extent).Preppy- Hipster-granny popped into my head. I immediately thought about a kimono top I bought for £5-perfect. Then mixed with argyle socks, tartan wedges, and my indian skirt(complimenting the kimono). It was EXTREMELY difficult to take the photos, it's so hard to find a plain and non-cluttered spacious area in my house, hence the dodgy staircase position.

On the other hand whilst flicking through the Pre Fall collections, I was somewhat disappointed by the still apparent minimalist trends that have been developing since last year and beyond. Means vintage shops to Camden to Fabric stores will be calling my name. I'll be looking through a lot more paintings, Fashion history books, cultural references to fabrics for inspiration for upcoming season.

Just a little update, sorry for the numerous outfit posts, promise next one will be better -more photo shoot like (I hope). The outfit was done very quickly, influenced by lolitas, punks, 1950's chicks, think of all the Greece ladies.

As promised in the last post it's giveaway time! First of all there's the Nylon Street View book up for grabs, and I couldn't give it away without adding some stylish accessories to style up your outfits ;) (not that's needed of course). So secondly 2 Funky brightly coloured religious iconography bracelets, and thirdly a leopard print headscarf (perfectly on trend).

 From Pretty In Pink to Goth, a trend inspired by the rise of Vintage- depicted by the Oh My Love dress worn, creepers and velvet leggings. The little angst shoot was inspired by the likes of Gavin Watson's Punk Images to Sofia Ajram's galactic images. The shoot being very amateurish- done at night by a 14 year old girl whom does not know all the functions of her new camera, ended up being somewhat discombobulated from one another. I was trying to depict that dazed, confused, lost yet playful girl. The photos were taken in the holiday Home's large and lush garden (late night photos would not be permitted in the parks of London- I have quite a small garden). 

Anyhow I am back to London, back at school and back to work. The next two weeks consist of exams and revision. Oh what joy. I got asked to do a video on the DIY COLLAR/ NECKLACE, sadly with exams coming up I won't be able to do it right now. Though thank you for mentioning, it's given me inspiration to start a 'vlogging'. As for the store I was literally about to launch it today, but then yet again it wouldn't except details,etc. If I was an adult it would have been up since December, I'm very sorry.
