LoVe







Lurking in the editorial archives, these Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2002 ads prove that the fashion and fairytale love-in has been going on for quite some time.

Thumbelina

Whilst aimlessly browsing the internet I stumbled across this little gem, so in memory of the late Daul Kim...

These hooves were made for walking.



Iris Scieferstein's Gun/Hoof shoes go beyond the looking glass and down the most surreal of rabbit holes.  They would sit quite at home in 18, Stafford Terrace with the Sambourne's preserving their dead horse's hooves as curious ashtrays (not to mention the revolver Linley used to keep under the bed...).

This week I decided to do some thorough research into Linely Sambourne’s illustrations, to see if i could find more relevant designers and creatives.  Thanks to Nasir Mazhar- the hottest hat designer in town at the moment-his work was able to make that link: his designs are a general mix of fashion history (particularly the baroque period) and sci-fi futurism. Take a look for yourself; his designs are truly unique:  http://www.dazeddigital.com/Fashion/article/1101/1/Nasir_Mazhar_SS_09

A Fairy Happy Birthday


Daisy Lowe featured in The Sunday Times: Style magazine, 17th January 2010

The Fairy Tale theme is really getting a grip to everyone: In Style, it has been alleged that Daisy Lowe, who will be turning 21 very soon, is set to throw a magical party on the theme of Fairy Tales. She says that she'll be dressed as a fairy princess. In the mean time, i'll be keeping a close eye to any pictures from her party that might be published in the papers.

Mouton Collet

Jewellery by Mouton Collet

Inspired by the vegetal and animal world, Matthieu Mouton and Nicolas Collet- the duo behind the jewellery label, 'Mouton Collet'- have quite literally shined a new and challenging light towards menswear. I wonder if they would be willing to give us a lending hand...

Underwater Love






"Mermaids"
WOUND 7 2009

Paris based photographers Rene & Radka have quite the penchant for a water baby. Thinking nothing of submerging the flame haired or throwing in a Junko Shimada lobster headpiece, they draw from classical paintings and 'cinema fantastique'. Perhaps the fish tank at the Sambourne's isn't empty after all.
