Paco Rabanne S/S 2012 - Paris

Headpiece - Philip Treacy
Shoes - Nicholas Kirkwood
Absolutely loved the Paco Rabanne show - showed this week in Paris. Held in the Pompidou centre the show production was amazing - making full use of the surroundings including the escalators. Above are images from the first part of the show - I'm currently researching garments which are influenced by reptiles, skin, movement etc and these pieces demonstrate this to the max (although the origninal inspiration was actually 'light'). Manish Arora has done himself proud as Rabanne's new creative director!

Novelty Knits
The novelty knit is back - most recently seen on the runway from designers such as Balenciaga, Marcus Lupfer, Moschino, Bella Freud and Haute Hippy to name a few.......
The image above is just at relevant now as it was back in the 1960's/70's - a design from one of Saville Row's top tailors, Tommy Nutter.
exhibition currently showing at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London - 'Tommy Nutter - the Rebel on The Row'

Corinne Day
Corinne Day at Gimpel Fils - 30 Davies Street London
A very good selection of the wonderful Corinne Days portraits are being exhibited at Gimpel Fils until early October..Mainly featuring a very young Kate Moss, each portrait extrudes the 90's glamour that Day herself founded. Her black and whites are definitely my favourites, simple styling letting the subject be the focus.

Helmut Lang Returns
Helmut Lang - Spring/Summer 2012 - New York
I have been waiting for this for a long long while...the first Helmut Lang show in over 5 years. Under the creative direction of Michael and Nicole Colovos the 90's theme has returned - a look back to the original Helmut Lang aesthetic.
Again, to me it the neck and shoulder lines which dramatic yet subtle, spaghetti straps mixed with thicker lines and exploration of different materials such as silk and leather.
All in all a well styled show - note the accessories.

Necklines
W Magazine - September 2010 issue 'Last Exit To Brooklyn'. Stylist Alex White
Having a look at different necklines around and about. The more unusual the better. Fur all the way along with layering and lapels.
