Art Against Knives

After numerous times trying to put the video onto the page, i can't!
please watch and spread the word......http://www.vimeo.com/11901050


An amazing video created to spread the word about how and why Art Against Knives was born..cannot belive how far this charity has come in the past year, absolutely incredible. Oliver and Katy are both bloomin' hard workers making the charity their full time job...and my god its paid off, well done you beauties! I could go on...but please watch and pass on

Rachael Hannah Handbags

Was lucky to have a sneak preview of one of Rachaels beautiful hadbags the other day..not sure when they are going to be out, but keep a look out - http://www.rachaelhannahbags.com/

Her very successful online business 'it's vintage darling' is worth a peek too for unusual, carefully picked vintage pieces. Easy to navigate through - http://www.itsvintagedarling.com/

Paris

not the best pic ever taken but I like it.....
taken while in paris in Feb earlier this year, I have never been so cold in my life...apparently -15 wind chill.

Serge and Jane

one of my favourite pics..Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin and fam..

had to create a customer profile for work im doing at the mo....maybe not the most 'mr and mrs smith' of all families but has made things a little more interesting.

presuming one of the little people is Charlotte Gainsbourg..coincidentally watched her in the Bob Dylan film not so long ago...good film, can't remember name.

Aussie Hair @ The Mayfair Mews

Last week took over the upstairs of the Mayfair Mews to host a party alongside Aussie Hair range...

The evening was attended by approx 25 fashion bloggers from all over the place...sadly Susie Bubble was not there...

managed to get at least one piccy up of the Linda Barker/Eve Appeal/Katherine Elizabeth Millinery event held at The Gore

Opening party last night to launch a new Art Against Knives exhibition at Spitalfields market, all organised by the lovely Katy Dawe and Oliver Helmsley plus others.

Eve Appeal with Linda Barker

Spent the day at The Gore Hotel on Thursday hosting an event for the Eve Appeal - http://www.eveappeal.org.uk/ and Katherine Elizabeth Millinery - http://www.katherineelizabethhats.co.uk/. Interior designer Linda Barker and daughter kindly gave their time to come along and join in the event promoting awareness for female cancer cases.

The afternoon was spent designing and making hats as well as themed vintage afternoon tea and champers.

the Eve Appeal have launched a cosmetics line 'all for eve' including amazing hand cream, shower gel and lipsticks. This has all been made possible with the backing from George Hammer, beauty entrepreneur who created 'The Sanctuary', 'Aveda' and 'Urban Retreat' to name a few.

pictures will be up once ive got my comp sorted out

Fat Faced Cat

A vintage and retro clothes shop who have already been based in the arcade in Camden Passage (Islington) for the past ten years, have now moved into what used to be half of FrostFrench...to date, they've been there a week now.

A really good selection of vintage clothes, shoes, jewellery and bags...refreshingly different to most "vintage" places around

Worked last night at Sketch, London on behalf of Katherine Elizabeth Millinery.

One of the biggest jobs yet, teaching basic millinery to 22 lovely ladies as part of a corporate event.

Katherine has been doing millinery for the past 10 years. having worked initially for Stephen Jones she then has set up her own business based in Clerkenwell and has clients such as Lilly Allen, Alexa Chung and Dita Von Teese...

photos to follow soon

Been looking through Wes Gordon's graduate collection..'the glass collection'. Graduating from CSM last June, he's back in New York, successfully launched his own label and shown his first collection...quick mover.

Definitely worth a look - http://www.wesgordon.com/

Welcome all.....finally decided to go ahead and create this little number...just to tie over until I get a website sorted

For various reasons not going to be showing all that much of my own work, so, its mainly going to be ideas, inspiration etc etc etc....shall try not to let it get too random
