Swiftly gratifying visual pleasures – our favourite selection from the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts. Remember articles about the futuristic 3D dresses, before the hype? Yes, people like Iris van Herpen came from this school. What does this mean? Well, these are probably one of the most exciting graduates to …
Today we’re presenting an interview with the lovely Irish designer Maria Lola Roche. Being an artist and designer, her artwork features in the private collection of Ian Curtis, and her designs have awarded her international recognition by Marco Vincenzo [Fendi] and secured her places in awards such as the 2013 DIT Vodafone Awards and the Irish …
We’re excited to introduce a new column for Fashion Fetishism, which will discuss cinema, movies, theater and opera. While it’s being put up enjoy this review of the hyped “The Great Gatsby” by our new contributor Giulia. Baz Luhrman has seemingly done it again. With his unique directing style, a pitch-perfect cast, incredibly colourful and …
3D printers, rather similar to you in high school at the prom dance, have awkwardly been lurking around a while and perforated the web too short as for anyone to take great notice. Now, it finally seems that they’re here to stay. Mind you, I am not talking about futuristic food-replication machines such as in …
In the deep dark fashion mud of the past seasons I remember reading about a girl, who allegedly worked as underage prostitute. After developing a certain reputation said young girl then attempted to work as a designer and to bring a lingerie label on the market. To be quite frank, back then I thought to …
If you’ve been reading this blog for some time then you might have noticed that I like words. Yes, I am aware that this is a funny statement to make for a Fashion/Art Blogger ( prejudice?) but it’s also a true statement. I cannot imagine how I’d feel if I couldn’t read the books that …
It’s officially spring. Not because the sun has finally come out, or because you’re eyeing your cardigans critically (because, really, they should go now!), no. It’s spring because couples shoot up from the floor, out of their dark college dorms, into the sunny streets, like mushrooms in autumn. A phenomenon of spring, if you ask …
Because we love thinking outside the paperclip! This must have bag, the ‘Clip Bag’ from Peter Bristol.
That’s right. Because, you know, we love shoes blahblah. But in reality this is more of a post like this one. Shoes that aren’t out to kill you, but out to question your sanity. Mind you, unfortunately, there’s a couple of these shoes out there. These Celine Furry Shoes are the gold star winner …
Despite years of tiny figures gracing our catwalks, the fashion industry is finally beginning to broaden its horizons to include many more beautiful women, only this time, size is not an issue. Nicknamed, ‘the shape of fashion’s future,’ London Plus Size Fashion Weekend (LPSFW) began on February 15th and saw plus size women everywhere rejoice. …
I read it in Vogue, therefore it must be true. “VogueSpy” to be precise. Because, you know, spying the fact that people still wear denim – especially as jeans, who knew- is worth of a special editorial. I must be extremely hip – I never stopped wearing jeans. Before we all break out into multi …
In all seriousness, I love shoes. I mean, which girl/woman doesn’t? (by all means, feel free to offer your 2 pence in the comment section if you do not like shoes) However, as much as I have dragged my numb feet along on party nights due to small-sized shoes, or too tight ankle wraps, however …
We won’t descend into the depth – no depth that is – of Cosmopolitan style Sex Talk, but try and see the Art component of this .. Wall of Vagina’s. Admittedly, I have a hard time accepting this as Art, but then I’m also always the one that starts giggling into her scarf in a …
Being orbited by, tied to and surrounded by objects. Just differently, through Cerise Doucede’s lens. More here
Because everything seems to have been done, we now 3D print garments. But before you get too excited and run to your local print store – this technology is still in its baby shoes. So after chocolate 3D printing, we layer powedered nylon, connected by 3,000 tiny joints and gaze at Dita van Teese’s figure …
All things emerald ( Pantone Colour of the Year 2013 ) from the past Zuhair Murad collections.
From TIME Magazine : In an age when “everything is changing, everything is moving,” photographer Nadav Kander has sought to find moments of reserve, reverence and human vulnerability in his latest series, Bodies: 6 Women, 1 Man, opening this week at Flowers Gallery (Cork Street) in London, and published by Hatje Cantz later this month. …
“Les enfants gâtés” – the spoiled children. Once again, and this time for the last time – apologies for the delay in posting this, I have had this somewhere buried under many books and files. And this has been happening in the Summer in Paris, now it’s Winter and well, ehr I am not in …

Normally, I’m not a fan of the typical colourful/slightly crazy London style that is so widely celebrated and showcased at London Fashion Week. Unless, of course there is something about it that makes it not crazy, but just lively and happy. Leutton Postle managed that, not sure how but there you go, I really liked …
The perfect beach combination for anyone sick and tired of glossy mags and boring Bathing Suits. For all the clever ladies that prefer the ultimate colour- coordination in their life. Best find of this week, and a big temptation to read some more books this summer. Personal favourite amongst these is Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment …
I recently had a rather tipsy late evening conversation with a friend, and for some reason unknown to me I referred to The Nanny. To keep it short – my friend had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. Even after I wholeheartedly blasted out the jingle to the series. This shouldn’t happen. I …
Unbeknown to me previously this syrien designer is sure to make big waves in the fashion industry in future years. The utterly complicated designs, the overbearing embellishments, the rich colours all truly reflected the worth Haute Couture has or is supposed to have. There was effectively not one dress where I could have said that …
All the things that caught our eyes this week. 1.) Because this nailvarnish reminds us of beetles : and we’re intrigued about the “special effects” 2.) Said things in nature : all shades of beautiful beetle 3.) A crown for the pony tail : similar can be found at H&M instore 4.) A brilliant idea …
After munching down on my midnight snack I stumbled across the most amazing and innovative blog I have seen in a while. Well, maybe this is also due to the fact that it combines two of my favourite things in delicate pictures : Fashion and Food. I don’t know which one is better. What is …
I can’t help myself – I decided to review The Purge. As opposed to most reviews which I have read before watching the movie last night, I thought The Purge was fairly interesting. Great – for all the wrong reasons, however. The reviews I read claimed that it was basically a home invasion gone bad, … Continue reading »

“The Light sculpture Forms in Nature resembles Darwinist Ernst Haeckel’s drawings . Using a simple action, such as intensifying the brightness at the center of the artwork, the light transforms the space and adds character, as the work throws oversized shadows onto walls and ceilings in the space in which it hangs. The light sculpture … Continue reading »
For a calm weekend with less words and more visual pleasure. More here Continue reading »
Hold on to your gloves, bet your hats and leave the horses on. Or something in that direction. I’ve had the pleasure to be personally invited to the HEADONISM – pretty nifty wordplay there – exhibition during London Fashion Week, which meant I could see the best talent in millinery from the UK ( and … Continue reading »
“Dewey-Hagborg’s Stranger Visions project is fascinating in both its concept and its limitations. She explains on her blog that she originally conceived of the project while sitting in her therapist’s office, where she noticed a hair lodged in a crack in a picture frame. She wondered about the person to whom the hair had belonged, … Continue reading »
If I would find one of these then my day would be made. So delicate and funny. Especially the little island in the puddle – perfect for UK weather! via Continue reading »
