VINYL RIOT COVER. ISSUE 5. KIM JAKOBSEN TO.

Very soon my new story for Vinyl Riot will come out with photographer Kim Jakobsen To. Here is a sneaky peek at the cover ........ sssshhhh.........

BEYONCE. MRS CARTER. DAVID KOMA.

David Koma has worked with Beyonce many times but I have been super excited to see his recent collaboration for the Mrs Carter tour. Working from his most recent AW13 collection, inspired ironically by music, it's inspiring to see how David has worked the themes of the collection into tour costumes for the uber babe = Beyonce. Match made in heaven!

David's sketches.....

PATTERNITY PRESENTS: PATTERN POWER - SUPERSTRIPE.

Yesterday we waved goodbye to Pattern Power - Superstripe a ' Cultural festival of Pattern Exploration' at the Londonewcastle Project Space, East London. Open to the public for the last two weeks and jammed with workshops PATTERNITY  has really provided every opportunity to encourage us to see pattern everywhere we go! The space was filled with black and white stripes, from the walls, floor, artwork, pop up shop, to guinness on draft adding black and white lines to your drink. This truly was an incredible event packed with exciting collaborations ...... more soon please Anna Murray and Grace Winteringham. See below a short film by the talented Lily Silverton for POP magazine.

DAVID KOMA AW13

David Koma is a true genius. Always a concept driven designer this season David celebrated music paying particular homage to vinyl. This was mixed with a nod to the 60's and sprinkled throughout the collection, both within actual silhouette (collars, jackets and skirts) through to surface pattern (flock, metallic and laser cut multiple discs) supporting David's embellished signature. Always a pleasure to work with David, here are some of my favourite looks from the show........

KITTY JOSEPH AW13

Kitty Joseph is still pretty new on the scene, not long graduating from the RCA. This is her 4th season and explores the concept of torn paper. Ambitious and confident with colour, pattern and texture this collection is bold, bright and fun whilst maintaining a sense of luxury through well chosen materials and printing technique. Silhouettes range from body con to oversized neoprene jackets and dresses with a huge injection of accessories (colourful perspex jewellery and printed belts / bags and socks). Here are a few of our shots by Kim Jakobsen To. Model Zlata at IMG.

PIERS ATKINSON AW13. D'HIVER

This season Piers Atkinson drew inspiration from the incredible work of Mucha producing a dark, chic collection titled D'HIVER. Here are my favourite pieces from the collection, shot by the amazing Jez Tozer. Modelled by Kriss at IMG.

Below is a short teaser film created by Elva Rodriguez shot whilst shooting the lookbook above. A massive thank you to the wonderful Philip Dunn who painted an incredible set for us.

This season Fred Butler and I teamed up with the talented Saga Sig to produce a short film - 'Wham Bam, Tangram Famalam' which formed part of the cinema experience thanks to the British Fashion Council at Somerset House over London Fashion Week.
