ATALANTA WELLER A/W11

Atalanta Weller is one of London's most exciting shoe designers. I met her years ago when she made shoes for Gareth Pugh, whilst I was assisting Nicola Formichetti. Atalanta then went on to work with Henry Holland and Sinah-Stanic and is now enjoying her 4th successful season at NEW GEN.

Weller's A/W11 collection takes inspiration from Ziggy Stardust, Louise Brooks and animal prints, which can be seen throughout the collection. Zig Zags appear by contrast of colour or fabric or used subtly within stitching. With a controlled colour palette of black, brown and leopard print, Weller mixes suede, leather, and patent to produce a tight chic collection keeping her signature wedge and introducing an elegant gold heel.

This season we shot a lookbook with photographer Karina Twiss. Karina has not long finished assisting Solve Sundsbo and is most definitely a photographer to keep a close eye on!

This season Weller collaborated with jewellery designer Fannie Schiavoni to produce this ankle boot wedge with Fannie's jewellery detail decorating both walls of the wedge. This is available in black or brown suede.

THANK YOU JOHN BOOTH!!

Today I tackled some of the post I managed to hide around my studio during fashion week and amongst the congestion zone and parking charges I stumbled on a curious little envelope with these bad boys from the lovely John Booth. Thank you John!! You can check out his new collection at Selfridges now.

HANNAH MARSHALL S/S11

I, along with many others, am very sad not to see Hannah Marshall on the catwalk this season. I love working with Hannah, she is an extremely talented young British designer. This post is to you Hannah. Here are some shots of Hannah's S/S11 collection, photographed by Thomas Cooksey. I wanted to focus on the lighter palette of the collection.
