London Fashion Week - Central St Martins

I have been checking out the Fashion shows so far. And as a graduate from Central St Martins I always like to see what the college is producing. One student that stood out for me this year is Laura Mackness, the collection had an 80's come American Western theme, with cheeky trompe l'oeil prints. Below are a few examples from the show.

Fannying Around

Today I spent lunchtime chilling with a hot chocolate in the Concrete Cafe at the Hayward Gallery, whilst admiring the work of fashion illustrator, Julie Verhoeven. Julie has created collages of paper plates which combine both colour and painted faces. Here are a few pictures that I took from this small exhibtion on until the 9th March 2009.

Cool Logo

I was in Selfridges and came across Chloe-Sevigny Autumn/Winter 2008 collection for Opening Ceremony. I was instantly drawn to the font used for the label.
