Maxwell's Silver Hammer



Photos: Unknown & Beau Grealy

Am going completely mad!
My neighbours have been renovating over the last month and I'm about this close to punching a hole in the wall and ripping the hammer out of their hands.
Is 8h30 in the morning a decent hour to start banging... I think not!

Dazed & Confused


Illustration by Noemi Sunshine Ferst

Last night, lovely friend Kelly Smith unveiled her masterpiece submission to a competition held by Dazed & Confused.
She immediately inspired me to attempt my own take on the Dazed challenge.
Dazed & Confused have selected 10 covers from the last decade and have offered them to us illustrators from all around the world to take them do what we please to them.
Unfortunately, my sweet Kelly informed me that the closing date was today and told me to get cracking!
And that's exactly what I did!
Though it was a race against time, I managed to make my modest contribution. I would have loved to have more time to think about it, let a few ideas flutter in my head, eventually develop them, but it wasn't meant to be.
So may I present to you, my last minute homage to the divine Karen Elson and this great magazine!
Hope you like it.
xx.

My Funny Valentine

Photo: Fab & me by Fabien de Serres

Fab and myself aren't too hot on the whole card company holiday, love should be celebrated whenever you feel like it, not on just one specific day!
So here's my Valentine to you and I hope you'll enjoy it every other day too.

Song of the day.

McQueen



We've lost another great artist today.
He pushed the boundaries of fashion into art.
He was a true visionary.

Just entered this Benetton Campaign contest.
It's open to anybody, all you have to do is sign up and vote.
And of course, vote for me!

The video above is a project I truly adored taking part in.

Had so much fun doing it and hope you enjoy it!

Intergalactic Love



This dress is everything I could possibly dream for and more in my vision of the perfect dress.
A truly breathtaking galaxy print, a beautiful volume and structure.
It has the perfect balance of elegance and sophistication.
Setareh Mohtarez is an absolute must see, it would be a tragedy to miss out on this spectacular and stellar collection of space and structure.
