Halloween - Circus:Gothic

2011-11-02T15:44:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, Circus:Gothic kicked off the Halloween weekend. As this time of year is the one time EVERYONE goes out and about dressed up in some ghoulish nonsense or other I decided to leave it to the amateurs. My decidedly unhalloween look was a hit!!

Louise Gray - I LOVE YOU!

2011-09-22T15:17:00.001-07:00

I had nothing to do with London Fashion Week this season, instead rather enjoyed some time off to myself, read a book, did a spot of sewing, and pottered about at the V and A. So I thought tonight I'd sit down and have a butchers at the presentations of some of my fave designers, now the initial fuss has died down. I was particularly interested in the mens shows from Wednesday. "Maybe I'll do a short blog on I fave outfits" I thought...
But then I stumbled onto Louise Gray's womenswear from next summer and it frankly shat on all the others!! LOUISE GRAY - I LOVE YOU!!! Here's my section...

Loving the colours, I'd happily wear all these things - mixing it up over shirts and tapered trousers! HOT!!

Also I am gonna include a couple from Christopher Shannon, cos I'm a fan. I love good shirts, bomber jackets and a tassel!!

Let's Wrestle video

2011-09-22T14:18:00.000-07:00

Film artist and director Margarita Louca called me to get involved with a music video for London lo-fi rock trio Let's Wrestle. Based around the central idea of a surreal dream/freak out seen through the eyes of lead singer Wednesday. I loaned my padded Mayan mask and created a couple of new hood masks for the shoot. Great band, great lyrics, fun shoot, fun video. Enjoy!!!!

Images of Fujimori for Kato Kogei Ceramics.

I fell in love with these cermics a while ago after roaming around the internet looking for images of Memphis influenced homewares and fabrics. I could find very little about these, here's all I have gleaned from sellers and other enthusiases.....

Fujimori was born in Japan in 1935, graduated college in 1956, where he majored in oil painting and design. Aged just 19 he won the National Art Award, later followed by a string of awards throughout the late 70's and early 80's including the Grand Prix at the Nitten Exhibition (totally major Japanese art organisation) in 1980.

After working in Chicago as a ceramics designer, ankhe returned to Japan in 1963 where he became a freelance designer for companies in Nogoya.

As the Art Director for Kato Kogei Ceramics, a major supplier of fine ceramics to the international market, Fujimori oversaw the design and distribution of his signature line.

So there we have it. I'm keeping an eagle-eye cast over Ebay for these treats!!

Circus Promo

2011-02-10T15:42:00.000-08:00

Some time ago I wrote a post about the filming of a promo clip for the ever popular and fabulous London club night, Circus. Well here is the clip featuring some nutters dressed up in their finest garms, plus the creator of the night Jodie Harsh wearing a spikey silver shoulder piece made by yours truly!!

Clothes Show Live 2010!!!

2011-02-10T15:09:00.000-08:00

So as promised in a previous post, here are some photos from Clothes Show Live held at Birmingham NEC last December. The event is a massive fashion and shopping bonanza lasting six days. There is a 40 minute catwalk show 7 times a day featuring themed fashions and super-duper dancers. This years theme for the spectaculur was "A Night At The Movies" with 8 sections and over 280 outfits! Blimey!!
I was asked to contribute pieces for the dancers in the "Horror" and "Sci-Fi" sections. No surprises there then!
All these following snaps are from the Sci-Fi part of the show.

MEMPHIS DESIGN

2010-12-02T12:15:00.001-08:00

I've spent a large part of today researching the Memphis design group from the early 1980's today. On Monday I accompanied my mate and super stylist Alexis Knox around Soho picking up last minute items for the Clothes Show Live exhibition in Birmingham(for which Knoxy is the stylist/art director and I have made many pieces for - pictures to come!) One of our stops was Year Zero at 37 Beak Street. Whilst decisions were being made re the amazing outfits being pulled together, I stood in delight/awe looking at the Memphis pieces they have as part of the mind blowing display. The pictures below are of the same pieces they have, though as I've lost my camera, not the actual ones. Noticing my (unusually hushed) excitment, Alexis admitted to knowing very little about the movement. And I was frustrated that I didn't actually know the names of the pieces or indeed exactly by whom they were designed!

Casablanca cabinet by Ettorre Sottsass
Hence my research today.....I found this amazingly helpful flicker site http://www.flickr.com/photos/memphis-milano/ by Dennis Zanone, who's been collecting Memphis items for 20 years. In my eyes his home is breathtaking!!! More pictures to come....

Hot Sneakers!!

2010-12-02T05:32:00.000-08:00

OK so these are years old, but I only just stumbled across them while fulfilling my daily dose of footwear fantasy....Nike sneakers inspired by Piet Mondrian's Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow series of work in the mid 1920's. Fave colours! WANT!

John Waters Advent Calendar....

2010-12-02T04:45:00.000-08:00

In order to stay sane through all this x-mas onslaught you should consider the John Waters Advent Calendar. Read through thorough now, as it takes some planning.....

Day 1... Buy eggs and name them.

Day 2... Put on a folk-hat and learn about another culture.

Day 3... Convict someone of assholism.

Day 4... Pound on your abdomen and scream that you don't want the baby - refer to it as "a cancer."

Day 5... Eat a pretzel, for Christ's sake.

Day 6... Wear a "P" on your shirt and when anyone asks you why, tell them that you are, "permanently punished."

Day 7... Rent the movie "Annie," and sing along (loudly) with the song "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow." Don't rewind the tape.

Day 8...Leave a dildo in someone's wishing well.

Day 9... Tell someone that when you're high you ARE Odetta.

Day 10... Call a hotel and ask if Pat Nixon ever got fucked in their presidential suite.

Day 11... Go to an "alcoholics meeting."

Day 12... Wear your clothes backwards and walk backwards - if anyone gives you an odd look tell them, "this backwards day is a lot of shit."

Day 13...Teabag someone.

Day 14... Fuck a chicken... or at least eat one.

Day 15... Throughout the day chant "Hare Krishna" as loudly as possible.

Day 16... Go "shopping for others."

Day 17... Go to see a family film... jump up spontaneously and tell your fellow movie-goers, "You don't have to like this movie! You're a victim of Advertising."

Day 18... Dye your clothes at a laundromat. If anyone gives you a hassle tell them that you "don't have any fall colors."

Day 19... Have "funch."

Day 20... Steal two rolls of someone's toilet paper.

Day 21... Phone someone and ask them if this is "the cocksucker residence."

Day 22... At a store try on designer clothes that are too small for you. As they rip mutter, "damn these designers!"

Day 23... Give (or receive) a rosary job.

Day 24... Throw a fit while opening Christmas gifts and knock the tree over... preferably on your mother. Hysterically sob that you hate Christmas as you make a hasty exit.

TRON: LEGACY Official Trailer

2010-11-23T15:13:00.000-08:00

such a long time coming.....I have horribly high expectations for this....this newer trailer doesn't hold the same excitment for me as a longer clip version that has been hanging around youtube for the last year or so, since first being screened at Comicon. Apparently there have been multiple re-edits, plus the movie is now coming in 3D (isn't everything??).

Ruthless Interiors

2010-11-03T15:44:00.000-07:00

I'm meant to be in the motions of moving house at the moment, it sets my mind to what would be my IDEAL HOME. The first references that pop up in my mind are the sets from "Ruthless People" and "Beetlejuice" obvs, with the early 80s Memphis design movement headed by Ettore Sottsass being an ongoing love of mine. AMaze!

When googling for images of the Ruthless People interiors pics, the accompanying words are along the lines of brash, gaudy, glitzy and overwrought....they're meant as a complement, right??

Maiden Britain/Ziad Ghanem Spring/Summer 2010

2009-10-01T05:39:00.000-07:00

Hey Hey Hey! Sooooooooooo the Maiden Britain/Ziad Ghanem Spring/Summer 2010 Show!!!!
as part of Vauxhall Fashion Scout for London Fashion Week. This season we collaborated with British jeans brand Firetrap and welcomed the challenge of reinventing their denim into wondrous fashion creations!

After weeks of unpicking and bleaching mountains of jeans (my house smelt like a freshly cleaned sink for days after!) the gang rocked up to the Freemasons' Hall in London's Covent Garden on Monday 21st September, for the highly anticipated show!

There were so many highlights of the show and the day in general, I'm post other pics later on. Everybody really poured their love and creativity into their work and the backstage area managed to be thankfully drama free.

Entitled ‘The Immoralist’ the collection is inspired by the Andre Gide novel of the same name and takes in a myriad of references ranging from the American 1950's dream and Hollywood’s glamorous golden age to pop art and fast food chains, all whipped up with the vibrancy of London's edgy youth culture. A riot of colour, texture and form – shiny futuristic metallics are juxtaposed against 3-dimensional shapes and easy-to-wear fabrics to create pieces packed with individuality and character.
Rock-a-billy meets 80's references and styling (styling and creative direction by superstar Alexis Knox) completed what many peeps are calling Ziad's best show yet!!!

The fabulous Miss Viktoria Modesta closed the show with an intense performance of her song "Satellite". Fierce!!!

Pull and Bear Opening

2009-09-30T03:28:00.000-07:00

Me and Knox in photobooth funtimes!!!!!

Me and new pal, PR party girl Emily Tennant.

The lush invite.

As an early start to Fashion week party mayhem, on Wednesday 16th September I rocked down with my mate Hayley to the launch party for the opening of new Pull and Bear flagship UK store on Oxford Street. My old mate Alexis Knox had done the styling for the massive ad campign featuring Luke Worral and Josh Beech, the previous month so we were eager to see the results!!!

It was a night of two halves, kicking off at the store with mojotos galore, THE BEST selection of cheese canapes EVER and live music from British band Filthy Dukes (who were wicked!!), Spanish group Cristal Fighters, and talk-a-long DJ Man Like Me. We were also treated to an appearance from messy-haired pop tartlet, Pixie Lott, who's management insisted party-goers queuing to capture the moment in the free photobooth be cleared out early so the flavour of the month could have a shot. (bitter? moi? as if!!!!) oh well.... fun then continued, minus the cheese, at the Hidden after party at East End night club The Bath House, various dj's did they thing on the decks, can't remember any names though, as by that point I was too far gone on free cocktails....funtimes!!

AW 09 pics......!

2009-08-13T14:52:00.000-07:00

Almost a month since my last post!!! Promise I've not been lazy just really busy! More picture coming soon....
Here's a hot picture from Notion most recent "Hipsters Handbook". The shoot was exclusively featuring up and coming London based designers, such as yours truly. I've continued using smashed up old records into this season for this shoulder piece and hood. Also included hand beaded triangle necklaces, knotted rope top and knitted hood.

Eska Mtungwazi

2009-07-19T07:21:00.000-07:00

Just taking a break from a Sunday afternoon filled with cut-out fabric triangles to read a new post and whip out some piccies of previous stuff I've worked on....

Last year I was privileged to meet Eska Mtungwazi through a friend of mine. A hugely talented singer looking out to make a new visual statement to accompany her most recent work with The Matthew Herbert Big Band. You know those moments in life where the stars seen to aline and everything falls into the right place? Well that's how it was meeting Eska. Right from the the word go I caught vibe of her project and she seemed interested in my work. Now this woman is not only an immensely talented soul singer but also one of the most genuine, warm people you could ever hope to meet. Its hard not to pick her enthusiasm or find joy in her infectious laugh!!! The current Matthew Herbert Big Band album deals with many political statements close to my own heart so the project just felt right.

I initially made a bracelet and necklace in metal from various found objects, old chains, buttons, safety pins, keychains, charms and beads. These pieces toured with the band around eastern Europe. Then as a bigger project specifically for the finally tour date in the UK, made a elaborate shoulder/neck piece from broken records and jersey strips (this piece is in the pics). This pieces was also used from the tour of Australia. I was so happy this this shoulder piece I've repeat the theme since.

The hoop skirt was made by Sabrina Samsoodin and the whole sha-bang was styled by the marvellous Rowdy Superstar!

Sphinx loving

2009-06-29T23:17:00.000-07:00

Like a babe on the arms of mama!!! Last Sunday I spent a magical day with my mates Emma and Hayley basically hanging around central London in the sun!!! The lions(or should that be sphinx?) share of the day was spent lounging in Hyde Park chilling to the distant sounds of a Bruce Springsteen gig, munching a slab of cake and having a major gossip-fest....a treat as i'm not usually one for just hanging out! Mind you I did take my knitting with me!!!!
As the sun turned to stars, we took the scenic route home, walking along the river back east taking in some historical hotspots along the way (love a bit of local history me!) I indulged my worship of all things mystical and old school Egyptian and stopped by to given one of the Sphinx at embankment some loving..its partner missed out due to a tramp passed out at its feet...fun times!!!!

Hey hey hey! I've spent this morning working on accessories for Ziad Ghanem's s/s 10 collection. While the details of this are obviously top secret information!!! I wanted to put up the pictures from last season....

The collection was called "The Immigrant" Ziad Ghanem/Maiden Britain A/W 2009/10."I don't where I'm going. I'm not sure of where I've been. I know I must keep travelling till I find what feels like home".

We used alot of jersey tassels, something I use often in my work, and geometric shapes, cubes, pyramids and spheres for dramatic key chains, necklaces and earrings...Working on it was a wonderful experience and the show day itself, despite being a bit of a delirious blur after no sleep for 36 hours and waaaaaayyyyyy too much red bull, was wicked, the show was hot hot hot!!! These aren't all the treats available, I'll put more pics up in the future...or check out http://www.ziadghanem.co.uk/ for more of the man's amazing work
