Ted Baker For London Fashion Week

Posted on by

I went to see Ted Baker’s new Hunger Games inspired collection at the One Aldwych Hotel. Firstly I devoured a cake on a stick, which was absolutely delicious. As I rifled through the rails I was very impressed by the clothes. There were lots of beautiful Autumn colours and textures.

The menswear was inspired by being outdoors and fishing, as Ted Baker loves fishing. In the womenswear there was beautiful snakeskin accessories, prints were in, bold colours and fake fur. It was day five at the Handpicked Media suite. I also got my nails done by Teds Beauty Spot therapists. It was the first time I got Shellac nails. Shellac nails look amazing and last two-to-three-weeks. I got a beautiful coral shade that doesn’t even have a chip yet. I also loved their swimwear and hats. Ted Baker’s new collection is gorgeous. Full marks.

Trends: Prints S/S13

Posted on by

After reading up on the London Fashion Week Shows  taking place over the last few days , it soon because clear there was a Not To Be Missed trend hitting our wardrobes this season!

Prints have dominated the catwalk at this year LFW S/S13 shows so much so that I was inspired to go and grab myself a floral print pair of trousers from H & M on my way home!

They were seen at Matthew Williamson though a range of printing styles from blue, purple geometric designs to delicate green tree prints, reminiscent of oriental gardens.

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi showcased monochrome reptilian prints while Peter Pilotto’s creative explosion of their usual bold coloured prints intermixed with monochrome were seen on strait cut trousers and knee length skirts.

A personal favorite was Mary Katrantzou full print looks, inspired by bank notes and postage stamps, which adorned the collection from maxi dresses to trouser top combination.

Not only on the catwalk could prints be seen everywhere, floral to ethnic prints were flaunted around somerset house by blogger, models, designers and the press.

So if there’s one thing to be buying in bulk this season it’s something printed.

 

 

Dog Photography by Tim Flach {Art}

Posted on by

These brilliant and funny photographs of dogs are taken by British photographer and St Martin’s Graduate Tim Flach.

Bringing the viewer into close-up proximity with their animal subjects, paintstakingly lit, carefully cropped for maximum graphic impact and animated by telling gestures, Flach’s photographs place us in an intimate relationship with their protagonists. They are far removed from wildlife photography’s documentary images of animals observed in their natural habitat. In fact, the treatment accorded to these particular creatures is not dissimilar from the close encounters with individuals that are the stuff of human portraiture.

These are just a few from Tim Flach’s recently released book ‘Dogs’. And his exhibition will be held at the Osborne Samuel Gallery (London) on the 8th December 2010.
