>> From Eduardo Paolozzi's Wittgenstein in New York,soccer team jerseys, Holly Fulton has constructed an imaginary NYC for S/S 10 in her head where lines run straight,Nike Air Max 87 Mens, colours are bright and there's plenty of perspex and Swarovski to go round for all.  I've waxed lyrical about the clothes but the accessories (and there's A LOT of them for a young designer...) needed revisiting especially as I was in her showroom today and had the compulsive urge to take all of the bangles and have them going up my arm to construct entire sleeves.

They could be the sleeves to this stunner of a showpiece dress...and maybe my neck could take five necklaces at the same time...and maybe I could carry all of the clutches... hell, I'll take it alll... I'd most certainly like to be one of those imaginary guests attending the opening of the Empire State Building...

GFW 2010 Faux Fo' Sho

,cheap handbags

The faux seems to be cropping up a lot on the blog but I promise the word, with all its negative connotations isn't here for the wrong reasons.  Last time I wrote about faux fur, in regards to Chanel's A/W 10-11 collection as well as the Where The Wild Things Are skirt I bought, the question of whether wearing faux fur, despite all its good intentions, is still promoting to 'aesthetic' of real fur came up.  Well, I'm faced with a faux fur collection that seeks to exploit the material in such a way that any notion of 'road kill' doesn't really figure into the equation...

Sophie McKay, another of this year's Westminster grad centred her collection on an experiment with fun fur that quickly turned into an obsession of sculpting with the stuff... she says it best in her own words...

"My collection was inspired by Greek and Roman sculpture and the way that certain sculptures capture beautifully, the fluidity of fabric in a solid material such as stone or brass. After a trip to shepherds bush I impulsively bought some fun fur (the very very fake type!) and shaved into it to create shadows, replicating the lines of draped, flowing fabric. I became really interested in the way that I could create a desirable textile out of a fabric that isn't generally considered luxurious. Further experimentation led me to use sheepskin where I had a very deep pile to play with, which created dramatic shadows when cut. I also suspended pieces of faux fur and goatskin on chiffon, giving the fur a unexpectedly fluid movement which worked really well on the runway."

"I worked with amazing quality faux furs, sheep and goat skins for the collection. So the decision to use fur was an impulsive one initially and further choices of furs were because they worked well with the technique that I developed!"

Already the visceral 'look' of fur is reduced with the colours used as well as this 'shaving' technique which McKay has developed.   To add tufts of it onto chiffon create a movement and fluidity which you wouldn't expect with a fur.  Beyond the faux fur aesthetic quibbles,wholesale coach handbags, McKay has done something unexpected with a material that would at first glance seem limited in its scope.  Different effects are created where the shaving can either make the different layers look very rigid and solid (like the pinkish fuschia top half below...) or it can look like it's cascading in a more free form way.  I particularly like it in this image below where the layers look very pronounced and prominent,wholesale coach handbags, exactly like the sculptures, which I too have been fascinated with their seemingly 'fake' stone folds and draping...

Dresses You Would Want to Wear and Wear Some More

>> Why the oh-so-long title?  Because this post does exactly what it says on the tin and in like our reaally reaally goooood-looking friend Derek Zoolander who created his "Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too" these dresses by new label Eight London are basically err....what the post title says and not a lot else.  That's not to belittle Eight London and what they're doing but going purely by the website, it's pretty simple stuff... 10 ensembles for their first collection,monster beats solo headphones, mostly dresses with one jacket and a skirt and top in wool and silk. Sexy-but-not-slutty cuts, slightly louche, slightly dishevelled and subtly lux.  I might be throwing around buzzy, snappy words but there's really nothing more to say.  No big label statement, no 'concept' text and not even a designer's bio. 

They just want to give you "Dresses You Would Want to Wear and Wear Some More Afterwards Too" with *shock shock horror horror* PRICES (£100-£300 mark...) on the site for you to make order enquiries should you want to buy some of these "Dresses You Would Want to Wear and Wear Some More Afterwards Too".... and I'll stop right there...

Shoe Scribe

>> I have two things to be thankful to Federico Marchetti, founder and CEO of Yoox Group, for.  Firstly, for coming up with the idea of Yoox.com in the first place back in 2000 and subsequently sapping up the best of my productive hours away as I sit there scrolling and browsing, wondering whether S/S 10 postcard print Prada will pop up and how cheap it will be.  Secondly, for telling me at a TheCorner.com event in Milan back in February that Manuela Pavesi (stylist, photographer and Miuccia Prada's bezzie mate) thought I had cute style.  I then proceeded to trip up over some cobble stones outside the event ten minutes later but that's not the point - I had excited sweaty palms for precisely ten minutes!  

I can now thank him for something else.  Marchetti has been busy-bee-ing and has recently launched a new site entirely dedicated to shoes called ShoeScribe.com.  This is hardly surprising given the bestselling nature of shoes.  The site comes with a few supposedly nifty features such as a Newsreel shoe inspiration blog, tips on how to take care of your shoes and a certain Ms. Suzie Scribe, who is apparently the site's resident shoe guru and takes on the guise of an agony aunt.  I should warm to fellow Susies/Suzies of the world but frankly, I don't really fall for faux fairy godmother characters, so I'm just going to cut right to the chase.

Having browsed through the whole site, I was mostly impressed with ShoeScribe's selection of more affordable, mid-level brands that are equally down to earth with their shoe designs as evidenced here by the looooooooong piccy list of brogues, flats and feet-friendly shoes, mostly from not-so-obvious designer sources.  The selection and buy of the site pick up on less-stocked designers such as Kron by KronKron and Simona Vanth and also spotlight a category of footwear that sits somewhere between the high street and designer - up and coming brands like Miista, Kat Maconie and Nunc sit alongside higher end household shoebies like Sergio Rossi and Marni.    It's less about fantasy heel shopping and more about finding an interesting and quirky shoe to wear day in, day out and keeping the feet firmly secure and planted on ground.
