Oscars false advertising

 Look at them. Both stunning. I just had to make these false adverts, seeing as they strike those amazing poses.

Azzedine Alaia

Welcome back in 2014! Starting off with a bit of retrospection. For those who haven't heard of him before - you have to get to know the works of the amazing Azzedine Alaia - surely one of the greatest courtiers alive.

SHOWstudio's Splash! - Iris van Herpen: Process Film

Back in June we posted about SHOWstudio's new collaboration project between brilliant dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, photographer Nick Knight and artist Daphne Guinness. The aim was to create a dynamic 'water' dress after the scrupulous analysis of the pre-made footage purposefully shot in slow-mo that captures fickle dynamics of the element. Yesterday, SHOWstudio posted an edited footage of the 7 day process behind the Iris' creation. From research and analysis to the final outcome, one can see the astounding progress on the project and technique by which Iris attempts to transform sheets of plastic into an abstract splash that has to fit the body and hold to it just by leaning on the waist (!). Pretty amazing!

A Relationship With The Sublime

Yesterday we decided to go to Westfield in order to look for some christmas presents. Christmas, in all its coziness, always reminds me of the whole palette of reds and golds so with all the cheerfulness of the occasion I decided to go for the look arranged of those colours. Also, here you can see the bag of our design that I am very proud of! :) For those having an account on lookbook - you can hype my look by clicking the banner below the photos. I'd appreciate that. Thanks!

J's Halloween Look 2013

Yes, I know I'm late. Halloween is already behind us and I got so busy at the time I couldn't find a spare moment to post it. But better late then never! This year I went for the sort of a twist of a Wednesday Addams x Pin Up girl x 60's spooky librarian mix that eventually made me look like a sort of dark version of Lana Del Rey (which I totally don't mind haha). I used La Riche Directions turquoise hair dye and I absolutely loved the effect! For those of you interested in achieving pastel shade I recommend doing what I did - don't put the paste directly onto your hair, try mixing it with hair conditioner instead, in 20% paste - 80% conditioner ratio. You'll get a nice strong pistachio shade. You can always add up more paste later on if you prefer stronger shade. I also used black lipstick from MAC - it spreads  brilliantly and covers lips nicely for a long time, definitely worth recommending! The studded headband is from Call It Spring for £3, and earrings are from H&M for £7 + I found this bow neck dress in second hand for as little as £7. Putting everything altogether and voilà! I'm ready to party. Hope you like it!
