SOU BRETTE JEWELLRY

These tasty handmade accessories are designed by Muqliza Imroni hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia. Inspirations for Sou Brette grew out of everything and found their way into Muqliza's senses. What she sees, hears, feels, and touches are then translated into an intimate yet tangible recognition of these abstract reverie. The collection below is called 'Runic' and these gems would really accentuate any outfit, cotton ropes, polished metal, safety pins, and the staple element, resin, really draws me to want to hold them in my palms and paw all over them. (I thought the eyebrows in this lookbook are quite funkdafied tooo)

GUNSELITURKAY

Günseli Türkay studied fashion design at Accademia Italiana , Firenze. She worked as a fashion designer at İstanbul for important brands, including Mudo and Mexx for five years. At 2009 December , she won the Young Fashion Entreprenuer Award. The competition was organised by Britisch Council and Ima. Günseli Türkay presented Turkey at London at London Fashion Week at February 2010. These gladiator inspired dresses ooze for the women who want to feel powerful while strong and sexy at the private life of being a mother or lover.

Omelle SS10 Shoe Line

PUNCHY THIRSTY GUNMETAL

When I first laid eyes on Omelle's debut S/S09 collection, back in August last year, I was chuffed to see a new fruitful shoe line develop, created by a partnership between Nicole LaFave and Cherise Angelle, and its that time again to harbinger the Omelle S/S 2010 shoe line. The collection grants a distinctive aesthetic, according to LaFave, Omelle’s colour palette is “punchy and thirsty with some hints of gunmetal, bumper and wooden accents. The playful mixture includes colors such as speed yellow, black tire, tin snake, snake tread and vapour. The variety in surfaces and textiles ranges from painted python, tree snake and conductor stripes”

FORSOOTHERY OF OBSESSIONS KNOW NO BOUNDS

The product of my obsessions include but not only confine to E.shopping, colour schemes, house decorating Magazines, Vintage, history of architecture, fashion & life, fiddling around with the settings on the D-SLR'S, Local, National going ons, Art Illustration, bonzai trees and Japanese water garden landscapes, foreign souvenir collection, World Cinema, film votary or anything vulpine and curiously experimental in Artificial Stupidity or ANYTHING as much use as a hedgehog in a condom factory.

Barring that babble, I have never commented on what a MONDO of a sports fan I am, of Football (soccer to the U.S) Tennis, Cricket and anything else I can get to grips with, It's mostly spectating, because playing doesn't bode well, unless I want to amuse myself and others......When I came across this VK editorial with the sport theme, it occurred to me, just how sports free this blog is and I probably haven't shared with you what sort of things make this hyena pulsate in life.

So I have decided to update this blog with all the happenings going on in Football with Liverpool Football Club & Derby County FC and Tennis with Rafael Nadal and co the next time I watch them play...Just jesting :-J  It has been an ordeal of a football season anyway, and I am now looking forward to forgetting it and moving my thoughts onto the World Cup in South Africa, I wont be going this time round, so look forward to enjoying that period of time soaking up the carnival atmosphere her in England. 

On the subject of obsessions, I have been rinsing this song by Hurts on my playlist.

Born in 1979, Sacha Rovinski, as a present for his eighth birthday, received a small Super 8 film camera. This is how everything began for him, he discovers that this camera enables him to capture both images and moments onto miles and miles of film, much to his parents’ displeasure. Capturing here called steampunk, some eye sparkling jewellery, mouth stopping magnality and safety pin hérissé.

Sonny Vandevelde

BACKSTAGE CATWALK BAISEMAIN

For those of you, who may or may not been aware, plenty of my photographic sources are from Sonny Vandevelde's fantastic collection of backstage catwalk photos, and his exhibition opened backstage in Melbourne as part of the L'oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival and for those who missed my previous post on Sonny Vandevelde.

Janet Burns quoted from the Sydney Herald, about Vandevelde whom 'doesn't work at the sleek, neat, choreographed end of the catwalk where models pause and pose prettily before twisting away, job done. He works at the other end, the "wrong" end, behind the catwalk's scenes, in the cacophonous storm that rages at the back of a fashion show's relative calm. He shoots amid the racket and chaos of a hundred or more models, make-up artists, hairdressers, stylists, dressers, designers and assistants, all hell-bent on their part in producing those perfect moments at the "right" end of the catwalk.

I every so often, don't embargo a same feel of an outfit just via looking through the catwalk photos. The photo's Sonny captures behind the scenes, brings out a more personal aura of an outfit and focuses more on the personality of models whom are often seen smiling backstage, providing energy to the photos and letting the personalities of the models shine through. 

And what I like about Sonny Vandevelde is that he seems to have a dedicated relentless ethos with 'surfer dude' free spirited approach of making backstage models feel at ease, in order for us to see more natural photo's of the models being themselves, and it would be fascinating to see Sonny receive more creative control whether it may be on an editorial or backstage arena.
