GRAYSON PERRY



I thought I'd feature this man because I think he is one of the most interesting artists in England! 

He spends his time illustrating and producing elaborate ceramics painted with subjects of that are quite witty and irreverent. He is not always known by the name Grayson too by the way - but Claire, a pretty dress wearing lady who is his his alter ego! 

To read more about this interesting man I have left a link below, but in the meantime here is a few pics of his work - including a beautiful scarf he recently designed for Liberty

LIBERTY LONDON




What can I say? I love the Liberty store! It's a beautiful historical building on the outside, and on the inside its full of eye-popping candy. 

You can browse racks dedicated to top brands like Christopher Kane, Westwood and McQueen, or pop upstairs for some crafty and colorful inspiration for the D-I-Y lovers (It was also great to see some Aussie labels stocked too, like Elke Kramer!) 

After browsing their website for further inspiration, I found this cool clip on how to tie a Liberty scarf - have a look!

PEACHY KEEN


Here is a sneaky little peek at my latest collection, called 'Peachy Keen'.
The story is built around a wedding dress I created in layers of peachy soft tule - the pieces centered around the dress are a little reminiscent of a ballerinas wardrobe. 

Take a look at the full collection just released at:

Oh, and by the way, the amazing model and dancer is Amy Firebird, snapped by the talented crew Charlotte & Dave at  www.mangofandango.net

TATA CHRISTIANE



The lovely Tata Christiane...... Seeing her website after a nice chat the other week, this girl is incredibly multi-talented (and by the way looks great too, sporting the most WICKED purple and green eyeshadow!)

She works with a broad selection of media under the fashion world, ranging from graphics, music, costume AND produces her own fashion label!

Her clothing is hard to pin down but it's ultra imaginative, fantastical and elaborate.
