_DIY Gold leaf Jewellery

Hey!

_So in time for christmas i wanted to share some joy and some gold!

Some gold leaf jewellery for the festive season which costs you pennies!!

Looks amazing and is pretty fun and can be used for many things!!

During fashion week, we saw many designers already passing: the use of gold as a fashion accessory. Actually very fun and an inexpensive way todo more creative in the days to come. This clearly shows that with a little effort you can put together your gold jewellry in no time!

_Negotiated Project

I am starting my final project of my degree and i am completely stuck,

I am going with a Fishing theme and need to develop further.

It is based on a book i found called "knitting from The Netherlands"

with old Dutch men fishing and i know is stereotypical but they are actually wearing clogs!

so wish is was more acceptable to wear them out and about!

Anyway here is my Ideas board

see what you think.

Thanks again for all the comments!

I am on twitter @Fabienne_O

_Valentina Poletti

_Currently based in Berlin, Valentina Poletti send us her final project to review and we were thoroughly consumed by her concept and execution.

 Besides the conceptual garments and photos she has collaborated with Carolina Amoretti to make a amazing video bringing together different environments that reflect the concepts of each look.

“My collection shows the two personalities of the same outfit, one a hostile and complex geometrical city representing urbanization and static routine and the other in a natural and free landscape which represents escapism.”

Collectie Kant en Klaar_By Borre

A beautiful video of his first collection _ Ready Made.

Collection from robertanderson on Vimeo.


Borre Akkersdijk (By Borre) is a 25 years old Paris based freelance designer. The Design Academy of Eindhoven had his first Paris fashion show: the First cycle last month– the story from the yarn to the show. A beautiful and interesting collection with oversize knitted coats and dresses as well as duffle dresses. This appeals to me as i am a massive knitting lover and knit all the time.
The video is beautiful so please have a look!

I do love this boy a lot! I don't know why??

_More Under here.......

_ULYANA SERGEENKO

Gorgeous prints and silhouettes from Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko,

taking inspirtation from 1950's Soviet Vogue.

Creating timeless pieces and made in beautiful fabrics to show off the body in all it's glory.

Caterina Ciuffoletti - Getoutofyourskin

Beautiful designer i have come across this morning, with a anatomic dress

to die for!

This silk organza dress sets the archetypal of GETOUTOFYOURSKIN. 16 layers of organza cut to follow silhouettes of rib cages are draped on the body creating a subtle game of shapes and contrasts.

 The idea is to build trinity into anatomy; the three-ribcage silhouettes are placed on the body and draped to give a sense of dynamic power and frail appearance at the same time.

Beautifully crafted pieces, with a delicate feel yet strong sense of structure that flows between layers of organza.

National Geographic Influences Fashion

National Geographic style has immersed itself into fashion and 

filtered it's way into all over graphic prints in many designer's collections, as

well as textural layers and contrasting surfaces.

Gorgeous colours flow together creating strong prints which draw the eye in, leaving you mesmerized.

Mon âme a son secret......

THE SECOND PART:

WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK

Another explosion of colour for the mind, more imagery of Walter Van Beirendonck's exquisite 

exhibition at the MoMu in Antwerp

Apologies the photos are a bit blurred, the mannequin's are rotating as you look at them!

IMAGE HEAVY

De toekomst is in het verleden ........

Walter Van Beirendonck

Part of the Antwerp six

Creates clothes i can only describe as off the wall into another dimension.

When i walked into the exhibition in the MoMu, i was stunned, the burst of colour and the excentricity.

Don't get me wrong, his clothes are visual masterpieces, that create emotion and make you want to gaze at the in wonder.

But he is a nutter.

VIKTOR VIKTOR

Viktor Timofeev, the artist explores complex concepts of hybrid realities and Utopian society, Timofeev is preoccupied with a blueprint for another world.

 City by city the Berlin based artist joins together histories and idealised states mixed with dreams of Utopian societies; his own circuit board of paintings collected as exhibitions to the evident flaws but also innovation ever present in dream communities. On one hand these are images styled with oil paints, on another they are heavily researched showing us visual analysis that questions logical boundaries.

TREND: SUNO S/S2012

Hey!

Its been a while, but I'm back from Antwerp, such an amazing city! So many beautiful shops, and of course where the Antwerp Six formed, went all over the place, so if you have 2/3 days spare 

i would definitely recommend that you have a visit!

Paris and Antwerp Posts will be up asap, i just need to move my arse!

Back to Fashion - Suno

 Their first runway show for the brand Suno, known for their use of prints,  keeping to a minimal palette. Though quite reserved from previous collections. Of course the prints were in no way boring, but it did perceive a more mature grown up feel with a great use of patterns and layering thrown into the mix.

off to explore Antwerpen

hello!!

I am back from my day in Paris, now 

I am off to Antwerp!!
Final year has come quickly, and will return to Manchester soon!!

Any must see shops, whilst i am here??

Thanks for the wonderful comments, will get back too all of you!
