Here is the first example of one of my works, straight through from the design stage up until the final product.
The brief was to create something to do with our trip to London. So obviously I looked at London designers Like vivienne Westwood, and Katie Eary, and the Punk movement back in the early 70’s.
Enjoy
TOO FAST TO LIVE
TOO YOUNG TO DIE

So It’s been ages since my last post, but i have some special news!
Well actually it’s not that special…
Anyway first of all you may have noticed the Blog has a new look! I changed the coding myself, which is why it may still need a few tweaks.
Second – Happy New year, As of this moment over 7,000 people have visited here, which is nothing in comparison to many blogs, but as I only really started about 6 months ago it’s definitely a success for me. Which is why I’d like to say thank you to all you people who visit here! Also now I have added a counter to the site so we can all check on it, so don’t let me down!
Thirdly – From this moment I am taking the blog in a new direction. Don’t worry I will still be posting about fashion news etc. But I will also start posting some of my own work onto this blog for feedback, so please don’t be afraid to tell me what you think…even if you hate it…just try not to be too nasty!
anyway Hope you all have a great Year
Nick Skellington

I actually love this ad campaign, its much better than the “Dance” campaign!
They could have go for hotter male models though!

As some of you may know I am kinda against this “plus size movement” that seems to be going on in the fashion world. Models are there to look better than you, thats their job. Fashion is about fantasy where everything is perfect, no one wants to flick open Vogue to see the “average” woman.
So as I do like the idea of this spread and Crystal Renn (The plus size model) does look alright in these clothes, I still think Jacquelyn Jablonski looks better.
I really hope this movement doesn’t catch on. Now I’m not supporting super skinny ill models, but you can still be healthy and skinny!
Anyway check out below for the rest of the spread.

The Queen of British fashion has Teamed up With Lee Jeans to create a line of mens and womens denim, which is to be revealed next fall.
“Styles such as superskinny jeans and microshorts for women, along with bondage jeans and skinny jeans for men. Washes will run from indigo denim to metallic gold- and copper-colored denim to denim printed with a trompe l’oeil lace design.”
I am soo excited about this, as they are going to be “affordable”. The prices will range between $130 (Approx. £80) to $320 (Approx. £200) Which isn’t really affordable but it’s still cheaper than buying any other pair of Vivienne Westwood Jeans.
I’d better start saving now because I just know I’m gonna want everything from this collection!

Anna Jagodzinska becomes the face of Tom Fords Black Orchid campaign. Photographed by Tom Ford himself.
I actually like this there’s not much going on but it looks really smooth and simple, and it helps that Anna is gorgeous!

This top shoe is Balenciaga, the shoe underneath this is Steve Madden, Spot the difference? Well there aren’t many is basically the same shoe with slightly tweaked areas.
Balenciaga has filed a complaint against Steve Madden, saying that he intentionaly coppied their 2007 “Lego Shoes”. Which Steve Madden is selling for $100 (£61.95 Approx.) which is $4075, cheaper than the Balenciaga version!
You’d have thought Steve Madden would have learnt by now after being sued recently by Alexander McQueen for the same problem!
