Vidal Sassoon
Just watched the wonderful documentary film showing the life of the legendary hairdresser, Vidal Sassoon.
Now in his 80's the film methodically goes through his career interviewing everyone from colleges, clients, the media, friends and family. Personally I think the most interesting and informative part shows Sassoon and Mary Quant informally chatting about how life and fashions were in the 60's - you get more of an insight into how and why Sassoons style came about.
Above are the haircuts that defined him and got his career rolling.

Tommy Nutter - Rebel on the Row
Tommy Nutter - the radical tailor of the 60's/70's has a retrospective exhibition at the Fashion and Textile museum, London. His clients included Cilla Black (her suit at top) and The Stones to name a few. Precisional tailoring using amazing fabrics made his designs a success and last the test of time - my favorites are the two white suits - one of which was worn by Jagger on his wedding day to Bianca. Love the huge lapels with the silk/satin details.
Go before it finishes on the 22nd October, 2011

Snakes
Burberry S/S 12
Lanvin S/S 2012 - www.anothermag.com
Lanvin S/S 2012 - www.zimbio.com
Instead of just wearing snake print - very popular for the last season, there has been a shift into having images/motifs/jewellery pieces of the animal as a whole. Lanvin's S/S 2012, shown in Paris this week is definitely the label embracing the 'full snake'.
