Even though spring is in sight the weather is undoubtedly getting colder before it gives up and my trusty fur coat has been my saviour this season. 



Long and Sweet




Oversized sleeve crop knit - Designed and made by myself
Harem trousers - Camden Market

After rummaging through my mums garage the other day I came across a suitcase with a few pieces I made for a fashion show a few years back. I'm cursing myself that I've let them get neglected and I was overwhelmed with a reminiscent feeling of excitement, a feeling that slowly diminished after I packed away my sewing machine to go travelling. So home came the suitcase and I am planning some shoots to bring the outfits back to life again...

Felicity Brown




Whilst flicking through the pages of Elle I came across the designer Felicity Brown and I am mesmerised by her creations!!


The thing that fascinates me most about fashion is that the origin of all creations is cloth. Then you see a metamorphosis when this cloth is manipulated.
The hand dying in particular is drumming up some ideas so I'm off to go ebay some fabric dye!

Shapeshifter





After blogging about monochrome I came across an old folder of ink shots I created a while back and I can't believe I have let myself forget about them. 
I love the subtleness of movement and how it contrasts the more popular geometric prints.
This calls for some research into how I can go about printing them onto clothing...........

Monochrome in no man's land

We are in between seasons and it's that time of year where we enter our wardrobe and feel as though we are in no mans land. Spring is in sight and we so desperately want to shake of that heavy winter coat but it seems the temperature isn't quite as eager as we are.
It's during this time where I feel monochrome comes into it's own. Paired with tones of grey and statement jewellery it demonstrates a bold stand against this stubborn season.

Word of the wise



“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
