Inspired Knitwear by Xiao Li
I love this knitwear by RCA graduate, Xiao Li whom I read about this weekend in I-D Magazine: Knitwear Extraordinaire Xiao Li. From an internet search, there are many more stunning images available, showing work from her graduation collection in 2013, some of which I include here, as well as much editorial on her future prospects. […]
MoreIvan Grundahl F/W 2014
I looked up the Ivan Grundahl Fall/Winter 2014 Collection, on the Copenhagen Fashion Week site, today – another of my favourite designer brands. And, it’s just fab-u-lous. All the images I’ve used here are to be found in the CFC Ivan Grundahl Runway Images section and there are many more besides. I encourage you to […]
MoreHaute Catch-Up: Yiqing Yin
Catching up on my emails, I realised that I hadn’t looked at the most recent Haute Couture Collection of one of my favourite inspirational designers: Yiqing Yin. And, as always, the collection is beautiful. The images speak for themselves. Truly, fashion as art. Go across to Fashionising.com to see more of the Spring/Summer 2014, and […]
MoreNYFW: The Row
With New York Fashion Week winding up, it has to be time to look at my favourite collection: The Row A/W 2014 (via Fashionising.com) Yes, there’s lots of other collections that have been pretty and colourful and zany … yada, yada … but, me? Seems I love me some Olsen Twins – who’d have thought […]

However, needing a few minutes escape, I did take some time to look up the Australian artist, Del Kathryn Barton whose work I saw recently in a magazine. On first viewing, I thought she might be an outsider artist – the […]

Soko: Love Letter
I’m so having a music and art week and the Soko: Love Letter video – animating the art of Niki de Saint Phalle to music and lyrics of Soko on the Nowness website – fits my mood perfectly. Many years ago, on a bright summer day in Paris, I stumbled across an exhibition of Niki […]
MoreSidi Larbi Cherkaoui
I love this short video of modern dance, choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, music by Sigur Ros. The juxtaposition of the derelict industrial setting, exquisite movement and ethereal music resonate with me as a metaphor for every soul-scarred moment of beauty experienced within the wasteland of my life. Sublimely expressive. And, oddly, uplifting. Enjoy.
MoreBailey’s Stardust, NPG
I’m hoping to go along to the Bailey’s Stardust exhibition opening this week at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG). As a young teen, I remember yearning to look like Marie Helvin and when I saw her – whilst working in Harrods – she was jaw-droopingly stunning. People actually stood aside to watch her pass … so […]
