Yayoi Kasuma exhibition at the Tate


Infinity mirrored room - filled with the brilliance of life, is one of the rooms in the new exhibition at the Tate in London. It is a mirrored room, with the floor having a layer of shallow water covering it. Hanging from the ceiling are a series of small LED lights that flash on and off in different colours.

It creates a sense of infinity, giving the viewer a sense that they are walking through and endless space that is broken up by small pieces of light.

I think its absolutely beautiful, and look forward to seeing it!

On the road, Jack Kerouac


On the road, was a book written by Jack Kerouac, about the beat generation, I read it last summer, and its very different to anything else i've ever read, so I'm intrigued to see how it will presented in the film.

Ballet Russes

This is an image from the beginning of the twentieth Century, from the Ballet Russes, a product of the  Russian revolution, this ballet brought a much needed new sense of optimism to Europe.


The economic, political and social confusion of the revolutions was expressed using several different mediums, which were combined to create a united world, hence the use of artists to design costumes etc.


New perspectives were created through a sense of humanism, where the contradictions of modern life were communicated through the use of colour and complex, contradictory relationships between different forms of creative art became the norm. 


The ballet company was formed by Serge Diaghilev, and through the use of colour, and the help of artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Sonia Delaunay, new stage sets and costumes were made.

The costumes for the Ballet Russes were largely inspired by the Orient, as Diaghilev was highly fond of several different aspects of life there; including the bright colours and rich fabrics such as silk.

Chloe A/W 2012


Chloe's A/W collection was shown in Paris a few days ago, I love the classic over sized style combined with the pastel colours; a lovely way to lighten up a dark winters day!

I'm a great lover of textures and textiles and I think the subtly that Clare Waight Keller presents through this collection, creates a kind of throw on sophistication.

I love!

Land girls shoot




I modelled in a land girls shoot for Aisha Green, a friend creating a graduate magazine, and now online editor for Teenbook magazine.

Junya Watanabe A/W 2012



Junya Watanabe's A/W ready-to-wear 2012 collection was shown in Paris last week, and I love it! Watanabe mutated traditional menswear clothes to create bold new forms, this combined with the destruction of other pieces that look similar to that of an apron, suggest a comment on todays society,  changing and manipulating itself to push boundaries and create a new norm.

The bright hair also seems to create a contrast with the clothes, where it causes you to take a second look at the outfit, because its not what you would first expect.

Crazy Clown Time, David Lynch



David Lynch's debut album, Crazy Clown Time, was released in November, and I absolutely love it! So alternative, and true to David Lynch's style. Junya Watanabe used this track amongst others from the album in his latest collection shown at Paris Fashion week earlier this week.

Welcome to kitty city


As much as I love cats, I find this video rather disturbing! Well crafted, but I'm not sure I'd like it if kitties  were transformers!

Invisible children


This is a video for the campaign with invisible children, to stop Joseph Kony, by making him famous. . His army in Africa abduct children, forcing them to become sex slaves, killers and mutilators. Help raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice. Pledge your support by clicking on this link and continue sharing this!

Phyllis Galembo




These are images from Phyllis Galembos book, called MASKE. A comment on art, fashion and religion, the way we adorn ourselves often suggests on our place in society, our identity and presents us in a way we wish to be perceived. It explores african masks and the different powers they can represent. I absolutely adore her use of colour and textiles, and find this image extremely inspiring.
