Tom Dixon London Design + Hotel Encanto Acapulco
Inviting, Surprising, Obscure, Strange and Beautiful

I have the occasional lust for Interior Design, architecture strange quirky objects and its a hoopla exploring new venues and ideas, and there's sometimes nothing better than outdoor living, which cant really be achieved here in England...... Fervently putting me into the mood for a vacation.

Tumblr PS I made this
22 Feb 2010
While thumb through wandering online, I found Tumblr to be a free wheeling and less commitment minded place, with oodles of constant inspiration without the titles and comments form. So on a whim I decided to join, as a side project by creating the odd post on a impulse..but prime of all I get to appreciate some of the creative cream of Tumblr. That is when I came across PS I made this, a do-it-yourself blog giving readers ideas for DIY projects, she makes everything look so easy to recreate....
 P.S. - I Made This...
is a movement.
It’s a call to action to re-imagine, re-use, and re-invent.
I see it. I like it. I make it.

London Fashion Week is in full swing and what I always look forward to at L F W, is the energy and vibe from the young people of London, a mixture of eclectic and glamorous styles.
LOUISE GOLDIN
DAVID KOMA FW 10
LOUISE GOLDIN
All these things set my toes a-tapping, the blend of military & Robot, the insanely gorgeous architectural shapes, and the palette and textures. the air of excitement could have come out of my very nose!
The architectural sculpted tailored coats in this collection are the most acapulco, but I wasn't able to share and post those photos for you, due to my Photoshop software seems to be playing up, maybe Photoshop, itself got dizzy seeing those images.....I don't know!?...but will post them sometime later on. For now you can have glance over at The Fashion Spot
David Koma, a former MA graduate from Central Saint Martins presents, Futuristic form fitting leather dresses, with slicked back hair and nude lips and oodles of embellishment edgings.
Head Spinning Jeremy Scott + Anna Sui + Proenze Schouler Fall 10/11
18 Feb 2010
The Real Mr. HeadHood Please Stand Up?
Strong catchy golden beats, I can always expect J.Scott to bring jewel encrusted, glitzy clothing, you just can tell that Jeremy has fun with his designs. The higher the hair, the closer to heaven it would seem. It’s always a hoopla to add something a little eccentric and quirky to your wardrobe, and that is exactly what this collection brings.
New York Fashion Week all wrapped up today, and I have yet to have a look see on all the collections so far this time round, I will probably savour them for when I have a few moments. Its always fun to match some of the runway style to the high street and boutiques. I know some can feel runway couture is unattainable, I use them as inspiration and I think its good for the soul to dream of unattainable amazing items, although indeed at times can feel like torture!
JEREMY SCOTT FALL 2010/11
Doctor Frame shaped handbag's are a weak spot of mine, they make for a timeless classic ladylike look. I own two doctor frame shaped handbags by Valentino, and when one needs to feel more of a sophisticated contessa, I choose and take my Valentino handbag with me. The Anna Sui bags below would add to my collection, but I know really the two handbags I have are enough, but the golden embroidered brown bag below is still very tasty to look at.
Baby Says Boutique + Busato + Tommy Ton
17 Feb 2010
BABY SAYS BOUTIQUE
E shop, on-line boutiques, I evermore relish stumbling upon a dewy on-line store something bursting with independence, low reproductions and hence..... deflatedly my excitement turns down a notch or two, when viewing the price's, which is understandable seeing as they are mostly an independent business, but I am pretty much chuffed by the affordable prices for all on Baby Says Boutique, some dresses start as low as £10.
“For The Love of God" is the collection born inside of a school project based on the study of an ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. And who is the Student who shares us with his collection? Lorenzo Busato a Fashion Designer from Italy, who's new SS 10 collection has been galvanized by the works of Damien Hirst. Lorenzo explains, The essential & symbolical graphics, the concept of death estranged from it's meaning of pain, the dissection of the elements, the obsessive specularity, frequently used themes by Hirst, personally revisted for the project, become modular patterns to be applied on the fabrics, become a mask that lifts off the identity before the fear of death, become monumental shapes for clothes, alike architectural works, strong, impressive, which do not seem to bow to the passing of time.
I particularly find the standing figure and clothes of sculptures & geometrical volumes, quite eerily daunting and captivating at the same time, I think especially due to the faces are masked away and the same identical stance taken in each photo. This collection is certainly a window to the fusion of fashion, art, history & architecture, and If you want to see more from Lorenzo, you can follow Lorenzo's blog & flikr and I hope this eerily figure does not appear in a nightmare one night!
