Lunchboxes & Gloves

Kenzo 12_NOV_10

The V&A celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Kenzo yesterday with a special 'Fashion in Motion' event showcasing the Spring Summer 2011 collection. In the stunning setting of the Raphael Gallery, the show was a zesty fusion of travel in colour, print, and movement harking back to the Japanese heritage of the house and creative director Antonio Marras' Sardinian roots. Delicate florals and blocky geometrics, light-weight fabrics structured to mould around the legs in a conflict between movement of the body and movement of the garment, and infusions of a yellow accent in an already colourful pallete of soft pinks, navy blues, mint greens, and neutral beiges made for a whirlwind journey into the Kenzo world. Accessories included dramatic headpieces, sophisticated yet fruity lunchboxes, and elegant is-it-skin-is-it-fabric? gloves extending up the arm and questioning perception. With quirk, sophistication and heritage married as one this show was a twenty first century delight.

Bienvenido a Miami

I like to ride my bicycle... So I go to Miami, I ride my bicycle and wind up in the Art Centre of Southern Florida. Here, in a back corner of a back room of this forwards place, I discover a truly beautiful talent. Matu. CSM Graduate, ex - merchandiser and now full time artist in resident with the ArtCentre program making epic and inspiring work. He explores his idea of what the future holds through creative expression. It is coloured pencils on paper and an extensive range of marker pens. In the colourful piece we see Matu's intergallactical view of the future which suggests a positive change in the energies of the earth, not the doom and gloom commonly associated with the idea of the worlds end. Black and white studies explore forces in nature and the idea of where life began peraps signifying Matu's configurations for his interpretations of things to come... True Visionary and inspirational use of colour. Thank you Matu.


Neo Apocolyptic. It is the new apocolyptic. Todos positivo.

In the spirit of backwards... Rewind . May . 2010 . Black . White . Nikon . F65 . Sleek sport lines in the great exploration of movement. Etheral, futuristic, tribal, and the orient meet in the Victoria and Albert's Raphael gallery for a truly creativo fiesta where lush fabrics move with the wave of the ocean and architectural pieces are encrusted with the gems of the earth. Epic nature harmonises with soft structures and primitive movement. Leather it feather it gold it stretch it pleat it sheer it bone it. A true visionary. Dreams can come true.

Eliza_Doolittle_FEB_10

Puffed up shoulders, pins of polka dot lycras, jingles on her wrist, a couple of Nikes and an Adidas for a skirt. Raw sportswear edge with a sprinkling of girly attitude... Eliza Doolittle. New, fresh, sporty, girly, chilled. Love. Everyone is happy and stripey. She has a red one fizz fizz, he has a blue one AA tip top.

Bump it fly it chop it propel it. Nikon F65 and an Ilford for good measure. Light aircraft shining sun and standing where there should be no standing. Happy camping.

Colour_JAN_10

Sunshine bluelicious skies and tender loving aeroplane care inside and outside the M25. Manual shutter speed makes for a blurry iced town, and an open aperture for soft glare and flare. Got my Praktika MTL 5 B. > ON.
