Show Studio, Show Blow

[https://showstudio.com/img/blog_articles/8401-8600/8591_640n.jpg?1384874612]

We have recently learnt about Issabella Blow at University, due to her influence on and experience in the fashion industry, as well as the new exhibition at Somerset House on the late stylist, editor and muse (which I hope to visit).

Part of the exhibition involves a fashion film by a very determined talent, Ruth Hogben, who is part of Nick Knight's famous Show Studio. 

This film, set to Bryan Ferry's - 'When She Walks in the Room', creates a celebratory, yet emotional and reflective allure, which I can imagine is very effective and emotional in the exhibition space. 

I highly recommend at least a look at the film if you can not visit the gallery.

Baileys, Ballet and a Ball

Baileys Christmas Nutcracker Campaign Ad:

I, like most people, get annoyed by the constant interruption of shows/ music videos by adverts. For that reason I rarely pay attention to them.. But for some reason this Ad caught my eye.

 A mini storey through dance of secrets, seduction and social celebration - I couldn't help but watch it all (, despite the fact Beyonce- If I were a boy, was waiting to be played)! 

It has put me in the mood for the festive season - Brill work Baileys!

To Wear or Not to Wear

My new purchase - British Heart Foundation- Vintage section - £6. In fact, only my second clothing purchase since I have become a poor Uni student. But I just couldn't resist! PJ top, shirt or kimono, so many different ways  to wear it ( my justification )! Attracted by the colour and pattern, neither of which particularly compliment my complexion, I have established wearing it as a kimono with a plain dress under is probably my best bet. Whether it suits me or not remains to be decided… But (, I think,) it looks pretty cool in my room as an artistic piece whilst I decide whether I can wear it out or not! 

5am Inspiration

[http://www.icopop.net/tag/uk-funky/]

Striking. This image from Katy B's new single '5am' out on the 3rd of November caught my art conscious eye. 

Previous accidental products of photographs taken by myself have produced similar interesting effects, and these images have been inspirational to me on several occasions. I love how the red hair combines with the blue of the mac to create their secondary colour- purple. 

If you look deeper it could describe the blur of 5am to a person after a night out. 

I am a big fan of the metallic mac worn.. which looks suspiciously like a recent Burberry collection's piece. 

Now time listen to the single!

XX Marks My New Favourite Fashion Song

Yesterday I was introduced to an amazing piece which involved two of my most favourite music talents.

Kanye West vs. The XX - Touch The Sky ( Carlos Serrano Mix) 

Fantastic for fashion show catwalk music as well, safe to say this is my new favourite song!
