Sat 6th March: Lazy Oaf
I am going to be an incredibly lazy oaf with this post and not actually write anything........no words necessary .........just look at these RAD pictures and get straight into town to check out the new Lazy Oaf store which opened yesterday on Fouberts Place, just behind Liberty's. Or for those out of London, just go online and prepare to be AMAZED and shortly thereafter lighter in the pocket and bereft in the bank balance...........OAF!

Weds 3rd March: Alun Davies for Lady Gaga
Apologies for missing a day on blog entries.............I had a crazy 24hrs rustling something up for a certain songstress............all will be revealed in a few days.........but in the meantime, here is an update of another London creative responsible for contributing to her extensive collection of costumes - Alun Davies. Whilst linking him in a previous post in connection with Piers Atkinson, I noticed a mention of something he had made for The Monster Ball, so I got in touch to find out more:

Mon 1st March: James Dawe for Christopher Shannon
As I mentioned in a previously, I wanted to run an entry on the artwork of Christopher Shannon's show invitation. I really like the fact that he procrastinates each detail, taking consideration and care to contemplate each component of his branding. Luckily I met the illustrator James Dawe at the door of the tent and got to find out a snippet about the photography used in his collage. Its an assembly of original images from the 80's as James explains:
" Chris and his stylist John 'Leeds' Colver had referenced collage work by Robert Pollard and wanted to commission something in a similar vain for his Autumn Winter 10 invite.
They wanted the invite to be something that people would hold onto and stick on a notice board.
The other main inspiration and source material for the collage was the photography of Dave Sinclair, who documented working class Liverpool in the 1980s.
Chris had come across the pictures on Sinclair's flickr, which obviously resonated as he is a scouser who grew up in that era.
The images mostly feature mischievous children playing amongst a backdrop of grey and decaying council estates.
Chris selected his favorite shots, which were then supplied by Dave Sinclair who scanned the originals. My job was to bring these photos alive even more by making a physical collage which portrayed the raw energy of youth. "

Sun 28th Feb: Piers Atkinson on Russella Vision
Sun 28th Feb: Piers Atkinson "Its Later Than You Think"
Last season the 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week was opened with a special reception and millinery showcase "Headonism" hosted by Stephen Jones. In conjunction with Stephen's anthology exhibition at the V&A, the curator had invited 5 of the new generation to take part in a revolving runway presentation. A section of Somerset House was also designated to give space to these creations for the rest of the week. Fortunately the BFC decided to resurrect the stand for a second season and give support to the capitals top hat makers for A/W 10. I popped in to catch up with Soren Bach and spot a fetching Noel Stewart assistant sporting a new knitted piece.
