Lady Gaga
Someone just told me Lady Gaga was number 1. I kinna feel behind the times as I don't know that much about this woman. I have seen numberous pictures of her in pvc leggins and big gold bows and fully appreciated her look...however music had managed to slip past me.
So I just watched the video for Just Dance on youtube. I first noticed the Skins -esque video by Melina Matsoukas, who has done a host of new artist like Katy Perry. I am a fan of the high contrast look so its pretty good. but overall, the song is disapointing. The base line is cool and kinna catchy, but she sounds like Gwen Stefani/Britney/Nelly Furtado/Every other recent artist so I have already forgotten the song. Shame the bold look doesnt match the tunezz. Who bought it anyway?
It is truly an MTV song as without the video and enlistment of Melina Matsoukas I doubt she would have sold so many tracks. I'm not one to focus on the negative though...so here's some cool shots from the vid (oh and I've got to say - what an obvious cliche to try to start a trend with the whole hand over one eye thing!)but the pink coat is wicked! I never say no to check either.

Circus - A step too far?
The fashion industry is a funny thing isn't it. I don't know how trends start really, but it kinna annoys me how something comes up and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. I don't really know, either I am subconsciously being manipulated by the media (most likely) to like a certain style, or I have some amazing foresight into the whole trend spotting ting (prob less likely).
So last year I saw this wee clown puppet when I was in Europe. It was Picasso-blue period-esque with a cool ruff and a wee jump suit. Proper clown-age! So I grew a slight obsession with this clown and his clothes and started designing clothes and styling photo shoots based on this circus stuff....
Jump to AW '08 and every chump and his monkey has circus themed things. Britney Spears album 'Circus', Take that album 'The circus', Pink's Album 'Funhouse'. Eh...WIT?!? Why so many!!! And then to topshop...
How does this happen?

Heather New York 2007
I've finally gotten around to processing some of the photos I did in New York last Fall (How very US of me). These are from a shoot I did for a fashion assignment, with my Pentax and developed some on site and some in the UK. I uploaded them all to Flickr and these are just some outtakes.
Enjoy. (Sorry its taken me so long Heather!).

P.S. Click the pics to go to flickr!

Ignore the last post...
Bugger that!
Ok so unfortunately the Festival has been moved to MARCH 7th? I think. Anyway, that's better as I have 4 assignments including a dissertation due for Feb 13th (its a Friday!) and its a lorra lorra work!
But i will re post a new poster soon. I'm also gonna post pics of the art in process so you can see the stages of my collection. I'm totally excited as all my fabric came through the other day...including some gold lame...woooo!
I just bought Grace Jones new album, and I have to say after 19 years of waiting (I had good taste as a child) it does not disappoint. William's Blood, the new single, is fucking fantastic. We <3 grace. Oh and come to her gig in January as well! Only UK tour - unbelievable!

For the love of Luke Worrell
He may be a whipper snapper of 18 years old, but this kid has style. He's already graced the pages of Vogue, ID, Dazed and Confused, Pop and done ads for Marc Jacobs, Topman and Vivienne Westwood. Le male de Agyness Deyn?!
