Mmm...Refreshing

Refreshing as in sooooo much talent floating about all trying to squeeze themselves into my head and inspire me at the same time!


Okay first KELIS - Believe me when I say I LOOOOOOOOOVE! I mean LOOOVE this woman! To me she was and is always different, always in control of her image and so powerful in terms of her work and her persona! I hated that she was so underrated but loved the fact that because of that I felt like I could sort of claim her as my own- like you know how you find a really good band before their famous? Like that. Well Fleshtones is out and WOOWWWEEEE she's done it again; I LOVE her sound, I LOVE her look, I LOVE everything about her, to me this woman can do no wrong...I just reeallly do not understand why everyone is clambering over Gaga who comes across to me as a bit of an impostor- a fake, someone who has a wider agenda but uses our beloved art and creativity to mask what she is really trying to do (If you don't understand me- which you won't, I suggest you take a look at this website http://vigilantcitizen.com).

Oops I've diverted my thought train, lets get back on track....well I love how she's so honest and so real...she to me is the ideal music artist and 4th of July is a brilliant track with a great video...All I'm going to say is Kelis you are  absolutely brilliant....and with that for those who haven't seen it here is the video to 4th of July...



Now that I've vented my love for this amazing woman let me move on to....
LAURA LAINE
I was into Fashion Illustration a while ago but was only just recently having a look around at the talent dabbling about in the industry, literally I think my jaw unhinged and my eyes almost flew out of my head when I saw this lady's work! AMAZING! I love the movement and the fluidity of the pictures, to me it's really eye catching... Laine's attention to detailing and the slight melancholy / darkness in the face of every girl just pulls my heart strings and draws me in towards the work- I know for a fact that if any of those girls in the pictures were to walk down the street I would literally break my neck trying to admire them as the walked by...Amazing, just Amazing...Here's a few examples of her work...




It's 12.42am so I'll have to pause stop this 3000mph thought train and resume the journey tomorrow

Excuses, Excuses



I'm back again...for how long? I really don't know, I seem to gravitate towards this blog when I have thoughts that need to be put into words.

Okay lets start off with graduate fashion week....
I only attended one day of graduate fashion week this year but wooow the talent was really promising, although it seemed like our young designers were drawing inspiration from similar places. Here are a few of the garments I was interested in- there were more but unfortunately some places I couldn't take photographs.


























































































Voir la! I was particularly impressed with Plymouth's, I really like Nottingham Trent and Middlesex university's collections...And also I got my picture taken for stylsesight.com sliiiightly excited considering I didn't really make thaaat much of an effort for the day.

I'll write some more later on...
