This is Devastating!
Alexander McQueen is one of my main influences and someone I aspired to be like.
I still cant believe this…

Gareth Pugh at ShowStudio
I know I’m months late with this but I just saw it, but quite frankly I love it, it’s amazing to watch an iconic designer at work.

Welcome Back
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

The Best Footwear Around!
I recently Stumbled across the work of Andreia Chaves, and I am blown away by it!
Andreia Chaves is a foot wear designer from Brazil, and each of her pieces is it’s own work of art.
“The fact that I grew up in a chaotic city like Sao Paulo, full of contrasts, being in contact with such diversity and constant exposure to different visual inputs, has inspired me in how I think and conceptualize my shoes. Looking at my work, I can clearly see influence coming from my South American sense of versatility. Also in the mix – what I have been experiencing in Europe
Above we have “The Invisible shoe” made out of mirrors so it acts like a chameleon and reflects it’s surroundings, and It works amazingly well!
“The Prism Shoe”
“Form and Structure Shoe”
“The Velcro Shoe”
This last one is definitely my favorite! It is known as “Twirled” and is made out of metal and PVC, the shape an structure of this shoe is just beautiful.
Chaves is currently focusing on a project based on “an exploration of the moving body” which will be presented in February 2010 and I really can’t wait to see it! It is safe to say she is my favorite shoe designer of the moment, I just wish she did mens shoes!
Leona Lewis and Stella McCartney Collection
This should be interesting!
Leona Lewis (Seen above in another Vivienne Westwood dress, the lucky Bitch) with be teaming up with Stella McCartney to create a collection of animal friendly clothing, which suits them as they are both vegetarian.
I think it’s good that shes doing it with a designer rather than on her own, because when musicians try it it often turns out bad…Yes i’m talking about you Victoria Beckham!
On second thought Lindsay was working with a designer as well and that was still a disaster!
Jimmy Choo for H&M this Saturday!
So I was in Cardiff picking up materials for my November Project (Comming soon!) and took some snaps for the Jimmy Choo Window Display. Kinda boring yeah… but anyway at least I got to see it all close up, and managed to resist the urge to break through the glass, grab it all and run!
And the launch is this Saturday! Unfortunately I can’t get the time of work to go check out this event for myself, but if someone does go send me some pictures if you can

Burberry Launch Artofthetrench.com
So today Burberry launched their new site artofthetrench.com to celebrate the joy of the trench coat, and to get more publicity.
Anyway it’s weird, you can connect with your Facebook to create a profile (Which is did and it automatically used the picture of me drunk on Halloween, and it’s not a good look for a Designer site 
), Then submit your photos of you in your trench coat to be judged by the critical Burberry fans and the rest of the internet world!
So get on it!
J’adore Vivienne Westwood!
THIS IS THE BEST £345 I HAVE EVER SPENT.
Bask in the glory of my fashion wishlist number 1 come true
Softest leather i have ever felt, most comfy boots i’ve ever worn. I’m in love!
So Happy
