Last Christmas...

Should have really posted over xmas, but here are some photos from December-better late that never. I went to see the Xmas tree at Claridges, designed by Galliano. It looked like something out of the sea with crazy lighting! It was much more tasteful than the trafford centres choice of xmas trees! Oh Ghad!


And the first xmas dinner of the year at our flat! It was great but not patch on my mums...




Went and visited some german markets too, which was lovely...

Harrods Experience!

Went to Harrods for the first time last weekend! Everything there is so OTT! The fashion there is amazing...but it has to be said I am still more of a Liberty's fan...

Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion

A fortnight or so ago I went to the Barbican exhibition on Japanese fashion. It was my first visit to the Barbican, and I'm so glad I went just to see the building there. It is so weird, and sci-fi looking, I wasn't sure whether to love it or hate it! The exhibition was great, which I suppose it should be for the £10 ticket price! I loved seeing the garments of such influential designers up close- and it really did make you question your own take on fashion. The highlights were prints of garments laid out flat which made you really notice the construction, and also the video footage of an early Issey Miyake show full of colour and pleated garments which the models folded into sculptural shapes. Amazing.

The Line Of Beauty...

Last weekend I went to Somerset House for the Rene Gruau Christian Dior exhibition. It was great! I love how Gruau brings humour to some of his illustrations. Also nipped in to the Matthew Williamson exhibition while I was there, the photos are great and sooo colourful- but would have loved it if they had at least one dress on display!

I love this song. And the dinosaur...
