Screen snapped these from UK Harpers Bazaar today, March 2014 edition, I want. I want. I want. Sadly, life’s realities trump desire and aspiration. Life sucks. [That’s for non-standing, poor circulation, neurologically numb wheelchair type feet. Some wheelies may be luckier … Though some walking people might need a wheelchair if they try to, you […]
MoreLoved this quirky take on Important Pink Moments in Comme des Garcons History by AnOther Magazine last week. It fits right in with my ethos of not being massively interested in fashion but totally loving a individual perspective on style. CdG is all about the ‘black’ aesthetic, right? Hell, no.

MoreYou’ve seen the show, the photographs … Now, click across to The Cut to see Drawings In The Moment: Runway Portraits From New York Fashion Week by Illustrator Bil Donovan. Gorgeous.
MoreI 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.

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 […]

Seems I love me some Olsen Twins – who’d have thought […]
MoreAnother horribly busy day today … and boring because it’s been all about admin. 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 […]
MoreI’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 […]
MoreI 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.
