a wonderful adventure





the beautiful stack rock fort; my collection shoot location and the most amazing place.
And an 1870 original photo, amazing indeed.

Junya Watanabe Autumn/Winter 2010








Polite and Sensitive/ Wild and surly. As allways Watanabe never ceases to impress.

Comme Des Garcons Autumn/Winter 2010






'Inside Decoration' was Rei Kawakubo's description for her Autumn/Winter Collection. Her enhancement of the parts of the body that women usually try to conceal with clothing, was I thought quite charming, and I thought certain garments were really wearable.
The unconventional silhouette and contrast in volume appeared almost sinuous yet in Kawakubo's usual shiftless, obscure way. The placement of padding and shape across the body appears completely natural and as a feature that we should all embrace! For me, really beautiful.

patti smith-a dream of life




If you are a fan of Patti Smith you must watch this documentary.

Dream of Life is a plunge into the philosophy and artistry of cult rocker Patti Smith.

This portrait of the legendary singer, artist and poet explores themes of spirituality, history and self expression. Known as the godmother of punk, she emerged in the 1970s, galvanizing the music scene with her unique style of poetic rage, music and trademark swagger.
