You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

One of the major trends set to dominate Spring fashion 2010 is nude, barely there looks. I found some lovely looks while browsing through my old favourite www.style.com . I can see elements are borrowed from Madonna's cone bra, designed by the hero that is Jean Paul Gautier.


The concept behind this trend seems to be teasing and tantalizing, either by showing visible skin or by using soft flesh coloured fabric, making people look twice at the outfit. The main colours threaded through the designs are soft but rich nude tones, coffee colours in sheer, subtle fabric. Some metallics, lace and lucious blacks give a sexy boost to this sultry yet sophisticated look.



The designs are incredibly sexy, yet not in an obvious way. The dusty pinks, shimmering silvers and obscure nudity, make the look more Dita Von Teese than Katie Price.x

There's a pattern, there's a pattern, there's a pattern there to be followed

So for the next few weeks I'll be studying printed textiles. Its not something I was very enthusiastic about but I'l gonna just throw myself into it and try and be as creative as I can. I never really had an affinity with print, I always preferred more texturised mediums. However, I started my research today, and from looking at other artists, I'm actually getting quite excited. I've always wanted to like print because it is a much more versatile and commercial aspect of textile design, in comparison with embroidery and weave that is. Anyhow, I'm throwing up a couple of things I found today which boded quite well with my eyesight.......

Sometimes you just need someone to tell you everythings going to be ok.....

'I love my wife, but I don't respect her, because I don't think she's smart'

I find, that I lose respect for people when I don't find them smart. It annoys me incredibly when people are slow to catch up on conversations, or they don't know who you're talking about even though you've told this story over and over for weeks. Its so frustrating, it amazes me how people can get through their lives being so incredibly slow, and for want of a better word, retarded.

Stop Worrying!

In ten or twenty years you'll look back on your life and say "Those things you used to worry about so much were soo small and trivial", take a step back, stop worrying.

"Don't sweat the small stuff... its all small stuff"

Chicks with Beards...


This photograph is part of a Media elective I'm doing. The model is wearing a beard made out of ribbons, I've previously worked on themes around humiliation and embarrassment, so this is a branch forward from that. I'll put up the other work at a later stage..
