There will be tears and tantrums unless I win the lottery ASAP

I'm reasonably sure that every fashion student, particuarly those stuck in the medway- arsehole of the world, spend a fair amount of time constructing their 'dream life'. Let's be honest, nobody can spend that much time around beautiful things and not think that they would like to maybe, own something thats not from primark.
While I'm sure this is a perfectly common and valid pastime, I may be pushing it a bit far; for example, I have a list of things that I will have in the chic little two bedroom Kensington flat (which I will own, not rent) ranging from Biba wallpaper and Ligne Rose lounger to a pornographicly huge range of pornographically expensive shoes (to be displayed on a single wall on perspex shelves) and a lazy yet personable siamese cat. So, in the interests of dream-world safety, I will be dream-world investing in a Ruby Atelier helmet for my dream-world Vespa.
I hope everyone will follow suit!

Maths homework

I always wondered why I'm so bad at deconstructing trends...
Thanks to Fashematics it's become clear why; I always sucked at maths

Lazy lazy

Oh dear, my perfectly planned, blog-tastic Easter holiday appears to have slipped by without a posting in sight!
My bad, but I promise I havn't spend EVERY day sitting in the postage-stamp garden drinking Corona (I deserved today, ok!). I've been (almost) busy with internship at Amelia's Magazine/Blog, considering maybe attempting uni work and aborting my social life in favour of money-making.
I honestly honestly will be updating with more fabulous, vaguely fashion related finds anytime soon!

More male nudity thank yooou

I had a quick flip through a recently delivered- though late- copy of Arena Homme+ (I mean, have you seen the amount of semi-clad men in that magazine?) and found these mazing collages.
I love the IDEA of a collage, but most of my attempts look like someone let a 5 yr old loose on a stack of i-D....
Just as well Patrick Waugh was finessed the technique!

Bicycle Lust

Although I should be working (as if it's even a chore!) on an essay due for thursday, I took a little time out to indulge my own affluenza (see, who says you don't learn from lectures!)

I did't realise I had it in me to lust after what is, essentially, a healthy persons pursuit.
Maybe it's the 49cc motor for the uphill bits that does it?

Now for your sartorial pleasure!

Blow up dolls. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's longed for the day when we can all wear them...right?
Vagina pockets. Amazing.
Tit ear flaps. Inspired.

Thanks, Sander Reijgers (and Geekologie for bringing it to my attention)

Borsodi

Everyone knows the two loves in my life are nudity and fashion. Balancing the two is a tricky act, so I love photographers who do it so well!
Trawling my favourite blog, I read about Bela Borsodi. He is a fashion photographer who works with all the usual suspects; Vogue, Another and V as well as the aforementioned S Magazine. He also does advertising for Hermes, UniQlo and Nike.
"What interests me is that I want to forget for a moment that I actually understand an object and try to explore it in a way as if I have never seen it before"

I love the shoot of the naked bodies in the shoes. The idea came from the fact that heels affect how a woman holds herself and control more than just her feet. The figures are not digitally added but are infact cutouts, placed into the shoes themselves.

SMAG?

On a blog-hopping sesh, I found an article about a Danish magazine called "S Magazine" (short for sexy magazine, of course).
I'm not arguing with a magazine that came about because a bunch of vodka-drunk people thought there was a gap in the fashion magazine market for "shooting a spread of naked midgets". If only I could find where to buy a copy!

Guerrilla- more just than scratching yourself inapropriately

In a super generous gesture, we have been given the 'side project' of coming up with a guerrilla marketing campaign for any company. Lost much?
So I've been looking at some examples of guerrilla (ok, so not all of these are technically GUERRILLA, but you get the idea) advertising in the hope of provoking a brain wave. No luck as of yet.

Sketchblog?

So Fashion Promotion, contrary to popular belief, is not a 'doss course'. Agreed, most of our work is our sketchbooks- but they really are a fuck load of work.
I've had a good grip on sketchbooks for a while now but I keep coming up against the same problems in them; I want to include moving images (still just don't do them justice) and I want something more interactive.
So my blog is more of my own interactive sketchbook- probably including bits of my physical sketchbooks here and there, steals from other blogs and things learned. You get the idea.
