Friday 4 th April: Will Broome

Here is the illustrator at his new installation as part of the Toilet (literally) Bienniale at Bistroteque. I love the cheeky characters that he has emblazened onto the walls with speech bubbles suggesting toilet related conversation between them.
He has previoulsy collaborated on surface designs for Marc by Marc Jacobs and is about to launch a capsule collection for TopShop. His agency represents new London based talent such as Husam El Odeh, Ben Weller, Matt Irwin, Robbie Spencer.

Friday 4 th April: Fig

I am so chuffed with this gift from Agenturv who also represent the Airbrush beauty mavericks "Uslu Airlines". Feride and Jan have devised this new nailvarnish to celebrate their 5th year of being with Collette. In addition to the Colette logo on the bottle, the hue is derived from the store's trademark blue. But better than all of this is that once the laquer has dried, it smells of the Colette house perfume! If I close my eyes I can imagine myself walking up the Rue Faubourg St Honore, where I am more accustomed to wafts of this signature scent.............I have never been transported by a nail varnish before..........I guess that is the wonder of the Uslu Airlines..............

Friday 4 th April: Press Day

I met up with Kim Howells at her last press day appointment. Scandanavian specialist agency "Agentur V" who represent Raf Simons, Bless, C.Neeon and as seen here Henrik Vibskov. This is a giant mohair jumpsuit/sleeping bag which has a label in the same pattern as the item itself! I have some picutres in my archive from the Arnhem Bienniale of his "boob" sculpture garden, so I will try and find them for a future post............

Thurs 3rd April: Smily Faces

Dolls I found at the Sunday Market in Brighton for inspiration..............they didn't come into use this time round but i'll keep them hanging on my desk as they are such cheery souls..............
