The mask with a fringe - making a difference

'My main inspiration comes from ‘assemblage expressionism’ which is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects. I love once-in-a-lifetime encounters with vintage objects and materials that have functional beauty. By observing and studying the beauty of the objects I gain clues to make new distinctive styles. I’ve always been inspired by using vintage material as an ecological way of creating new pieces.'

'ART WITHOUT EMOTIONAL FORCE IS WITHOUT INTERLECTUAL POWER'

Liverpool Bienall trip - looking at contemporary artists


I believe the trip was used as a tool for contemporary practising artists and designers to engage with art and the 'EMOTIONAL IMPACT' it has on modern society....
'ART WITHOUT EMOTIONAL FORCE IS WITHOUT INTERLECTUAL POWER'#

Embology - Magdela Abakanwicz- Tate Liverpool



- The uncertainty quality of the stitches

- The sculptures look almost rock like and have an organic natural appeal which I believe adds character and a sense of individuality to the art.

- The composition of the embryology sculptures are very loosely stacked which give an effortless almost like you’ve just stumbled across them.


Another intriguing piece of sculpture was by artist Eduardo Paolozzi

Who had taken the iconic Michael Angelo’s David but put his own interpretation with mix media including plaster , string and casting which produced rough and edgy textures.

Royal college of art London! Graduate show 2010






































Sophia Grace Webster - My first reaction to these was 'I have found love  in the shape of a shoe' these heels certainly are a show stopper ,I love the bright vibrant pink colour chosen compliments the summer season very well alongside the butterfly design , she successfully creates a chic shoe without looking too tacky , the future is certainly bright for this lady.






































Sara Bro-Jørgensen- Here is a quirky trenchcoat print very creative and works with the idea of printing with clothes onto fabrics if I saw this design in the street i'd certainly look twice for all the right reasons afterall isn't fashion all about standing out !creating an impression on the public? Thoughts ?




































Simone Sommer
I love the garment how elegant the dress is tailored it could be used for day or night the colour deffinately gives the garment a sophisticated summer feel the fabric is light weight so it floats along the runway in an effort less way .

It's Mcqueen!


Although I know i'm a little late reporting on this but ! Alexander Mcqueen's Jellyfish inspired clutch took the collection to another dimension the colours are equisite the mix of the bold blue and purple tones in the Jelly fish inspired print alonside  the satin fabric with the leather detial will certainly make a girl feel a million dollars...... Will put you back £295 but worth every penny ! To compliment the collection her has a sting ray inspired clutch this has a rough texture the colours arebased on more subtle grey tones.......

London Jewellery week !

This week is London Jewellery week !Anyone who knows me well will tell you how much I love jewellery !  Whilst visiting the official LJW website I stumbled across some Treasures lets face it an outfit isn't complete without at least once piece of jewellery..............



Rebecca Steiner Fine Jewellery hand crafted in her Epson studio created from gold and based around the idea of exploration. The bracelet does contain conitations associated with exploration it allows people to imagine the origin of the braclet.
Personally I adore the intricate nature of the bracelet and how its been hand pieced together .....lets face it Gold certainly does turn an outfit from trash to cash !




Most importatly the event is showcasing young up and coming British talent. It will display London Metropolitian students work.......... and there response to a CRED project reflecting fairtrade tales.....
Jewellery with ethics !  thats what we want to be seeing! Treasure indeed!




Tina Lilienthal  inspired by pop art ,toys her unconventional approach to jewellery made her an instant hit as a designer she showcases meanings and motives for her collections and using her work to tell stories......Personally I love her little skull collection as they can easily be layered or used in a delicate manner at £40 a piece not a bad price tag!




Design Space - Gemma Elizabeth Holz here is her iconic fish bone necklace I love the shapes used to potray the fish bone outline it gives the piece a sense of elegance whilst still being chic and trendy.
