I HEART LUELLA

LONG LIVE LUELLA. The delectable pastel palettes, beautiful bows, frills spills and lace lovelies, vibrant vixens, red-lipped rogues strutting their backcombed beauts, and the stunning clobber quintessentially British with an egocentric post-punk beauty queen backlash twist. XXX

Get in your rave cave for LOUISE GRAY ♥

I would like to think in my heart that I am a Louise Gray kinda girl...and that her creations suit me down to the ground. Because they are so utterly beautiful...vibrantly chaotic, tactile and elegantly flamboyant.

She is one clever lady. I love her latest collection for SS/11, which showcases pastel perfect clobber, alongside clashing prints, eclectic rags, knots, layering and loose threads.

Entwined in her design ethic are 80's colour-ways with the essence of 90's rave chic, polished and brought up to date for the 21st century gutsy girl.

Having studied textile design and embroidery, Louise's attention to detail is exquisitely eccentric with layers of fabric emblazoned with off the wall embellishments and prints.

SO So excited to see what she showcases at Fashion week later today... I wish I was there...no doubt that she will rock it outlandishly!

Embroidery degree show June 09

Ive been meaning to put up these photos for months!!! Here are photos of my degree show work. My work was a collection of silk dresses that i acid dyed, printed and embellished. My inspiration was female portraiture ranging from the late 19th century to the mid twentieth century. The dresses were eventually made up and i suspended them in my space. I was so happy about the fact that I'd challenged myself and my existing skills as an artist/designer. I can see myself in the future working in fashion and also as a freelance illustrator.
