One to watch.

These fabrics are so beautifully used and the collection as a whole, is so elegant and feminine.

Why is it that women's wear get to have beautiful interesting surfaces, would this style of decoration not work on men's wear?

 

 

London Fashion Week : (

Menswear for LFW has been so disappointing, out of the 12 designers from today's post barely 3 of them are interesting. Top shop's Tweed "Look" have unusual garment shapes but the lack of diversity in fabric makes it feel so repetitive throughout the collection, Katy Eary is again pulling it back for Menswear with bright punk styles with plastic detail and shiny fabrics. I am in no way saying each collection is not pushing design but very few people seem to be producing textiles or printed surfaces to push menswear into a place of interest in terms of surface adornment.

Developments from my rust photographs.

Carrying on from Antony Gromleys "Drawing" Image which has inspired me so much, i am again varnishing tracing paper drawing into it and using black ink for detail... My Favourite !

Rust.

This weekend i found myself shovelling muck in the freezing cold rain on my parents land near the family home, only to discover a pile of burned wet metal objects including bullet shells, bolts and copper wire.
Im actually so excited by this, its like finding treasure to me!
