Paul Smith A/W 10.
Maison Martin Margiela A/W 10
A rather swish collection from Margiela, always very forward thinking. I do like the odd touches he puts in this collection and the varied choice of models, I like it alot.

Yes please! I am all over this. Trouser - yes. Scarf - yes. Overcoat - yes. Amazing.

Raf Simons A/W 10
Loving the coat detail.
This model looks suspiciously like a model I dressed at Uni's graduate show a couple of years ago. Hmmm.

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture A/W 09
This is along the lines of my thoughts for my collection. Lots of robots and metal parts. Minus the glamour look.
Got.
I got the beset present ever on the weekend from my fabulous friend Asher. I study Fashion Knitwear Design but I am completely head over heels in love with pattern cutting. I am on a pattern cutting placement an Temperley London and everyday it confirms my passions.
This is a Japanese pattern cutting book and it's one of the best I have ever seen. There are a couple of things that Im going to try out: collars that are built into the main bodice piece, 3D holes that fold out of the body. It's indredible.
THANK YOU ASHER!!!

Jil Sander A/W 10
So I just stumbled over a masterpiece and almost broke my jaw as it hit the desk!
I like this ALOT. It's incredible; it's completely authentic and subtle yet just mindboggling at the same time! Jil Sander is amazing for that and I am a big fan of the J+ line in Uniqlo. I keep oggling the camel trench coat and wondering wether I can afford it . . . the answer is always no to anything but I do love it.
Outfits for the weekend.
What can I say, I love these outfits! No1 is Stella McCartney's S/S 10 collection, everything about it is right, the neutrals, the splash of indigo, the cut, the shoulder pads. I would love to have that outfit.
Numero deux is from Jeremy Scott's A/W 07 collection Happy Daze. I love the stuffed roll collar, lovely fresh colours and the poodle is great!
Want.
I want to paint my hands white every day! Couldn't do much cutting with that ring though.

Alexander McQueen A/W 10
I've heard tales from friends about interns at McQueen, I adore the man and think he's a genius but from what I know I would never work there. However he is still one of my favourite designers alongside Hussein Chalayan, Stella McCartney and Yves Saint laurent.
McQueen and Chalayan are the closest to the kind of design I like to do myself; dark themes, art pieces, powerful, interesting, technological, and a bit strange. I will always love his work and this collection follows on from his womenswear S/S 10 beautifully.

Lanvin A/W 10
Trust Alber Elbaz to take my breath away once again, the man is a legend. The drape and construction of his work is outstanding. I love the top knit(?) piece, it almost looks like a piece of armour clipped onto the black top. The jacket sleeves underneath are another nice cheeky twist, bringing glamour into menswear, god knows they love it.

Dior Homme A/W 10
Ive fallen in love with these grey tones. This palette is perfect. I really like this coat, its not too formal - almost dressing gown like but the piping on the inside is beautiful.

Dries Van Noten A/W 10
Mentioned below but I would like to point out this coat as it is just amazing. Simple, classic, new, fresh. Just what the Dr ordered!!
Trousers are brilliant too.

Givenchy A/W 10
I have a penchant for simple garments with unique pinpoints on them. This shirt I love, a new version of the dinner shirt, nice fit and good contrast fabric and colour white/grey. Good strong shirt.

Junya Watanabe Men A/W 10
Delicious choice of colours, I love the blue, and that pocket. A casual jacket over a suit - nice modern touch.

Comme Des Garcons A/W 10
CDG = pure genius. I love their designs, this suit is brilliant and fun. The shoes and socks are a briliant accent and lift the whole outfit. Big thumbs up.

Jonathan Saunders for Topshop.
I do quite like Jonathan Saunders but I don't know how I feel about him doing a collection for Topshop. All these designers pushing their diluted designs onto a public that probably never knew who they were, hmmm I just feel like it's a bit of a sell out for money I guess. Keep your integrity, you would never have seen Coco Channel or Yves Saint Laurent selling their soul to Topshop.
Oh hello cushions.
Basically the point of my title explained through cushion mime.
Okay so everyone knows the olde PC command CTRL_ALT_DEL.
For Mac users the same command is this.
Many people will know what my title does, it's very useful.
Ill let you guess.

Delicate Mayhem.
I came across an artist I really liked today in Brick Lane. Her name is Laura Jordan and her work is so good! Really intricate pen drawings with ink almost a collage image of bits and bobs of London, they are really lovely. Check out her website at www.delicatemayhem.com/
This one was my favorite. I really love quirky, individual art work like this, it makes me miss my art foundation course but so happy at the same time!

Hair.
I was stopped on Oxford Street on Monday evening by a fellow fashion student asking to photograph my hair and what my inspiration was. I jokingly said Cruella DeVil but I don't think she caught on.
I dressed up as Cruella at Primary School on Book Day, I don't like the fur though.
