Jumpin' Jumpin'

A couple of weeks ago I headed over to Campbell-Bell HQ to style and photograph a shoot for Beauchamps's of London. The theme was CoLoUR!- possibly channeling the block colour trend that is coming up strong at the moment.... wasn't intentional but i am sure it came about subconsciously.

Beauchamp's belts have the amazing ability to be reversible and interchangeable, you can mix 'em up- change the buckles around tun them inside out and back to front. There is also the potential to utilise your silk scarfs- I have a whole box of vintage silk scarfs that i never use- I think Beauchamp's may be the answer I have been looking for.

Whats more there is a bespoke service if you cant pick the colour/texture/shape that you want........

AMAZEBALLS!

Ice Cream shaped expanding foam

I have been working on the new window display for the most recent collection form Tatty Devine and today I installed it. Using hundreds and thousands, pastel paints, PVA, expanding foam and fake icecream cones, it looked good enough to eat [though if one did, they would probably be in trouble]

the end was near.

This time last year I was toiling this outfit for final collection time down in Brighton. I wish my friends doing it now the best of luck. x x

I got bored one day and started to sew.....

Red cashmere cardigan [Tescos!] embellished with Swarovski crystals, pearls, rose quartz, glass and plastic beads

T.P.I.o.D.i.t.M.o.S.L.

A print designed from the research around the idea of "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" by Damien Hirst.

Space scales

Leather effect fabric with eyelets and Swarovski crystals

This is a jacket I made as a costume for Bestival the summer past. It took 2 days of agonizing pain caused by eyleting each individual silver scale to the jacket.

Death by Chintz

Here is an outfit made with a hand printed length of fine wool from a project exploring taxidermy and the symbolism of flowers with with death.

"My Powers of Ten"

Here are some pieces from my graduate collection......
I started my research by documenting the scars on my body and where, how and when I got them. I then found great inspiration from the film ‘Powers of Ten’ a 1977 short documentary film written and directed by Ray Eames and her husband, Charles Eames.

I represented the scale effect the film illustrates in the prints by layering imagery on top of each other. I used glow in the dark particles to create the effect of one image merging into another. The glow particles are near invisible in the light resulting in entirely different print in the dark.
