Mulberry S/S 2012 Look Book

Ohhhh my!!! How beautiful are the new look book shots for Mulberry's S/S 2012! I absolutely love the fact it was shot in Brighton, with giant sticks of rock and ice creams!!  The campaign is inspired by creative directors Emma Hill's childhood memories of English seasides, and styled by Edward Enninful. 

I think I just fell in love with Mulberry a little bit more!

Refreshers ice lolly anyone?!

Earlier this week I entered the 'Company Magazine - Are you the next big thing in fashion illustration'. One of the illustrations we needed to enter, had to be the one of the key accessories off of the S/S 12 runways. I automatically thought of these beauties by Burberry Prosum. My only problem was, I only found out about the competition 2 days before the deadline. I wasn't entirely happy with the way they came out, but for the amount of time it took me I can not complain! You got to be in it, to win it. Right?!

What do you think?

Wedged Hi Top Trainer

What with the olympics around the corner, we should not of been surprised that many sports influenced looks were sent down the spring/summer 2012 runways. However one of the key items seem to be the wedged hi top trainer. Isabel Marant led the pack with this key footwear shape. However the question is will you or won't you?

Burberry Prorsum S/S 2012

My plan for this weekend has been interrupted by a tight deadline at work, I was planning on posting this post with an illustration or two, however that will need to be put on the 'to do' list!

I am a huge fan of Burberry! I look forward to there shows each season and this collection is my favourite so far yet.... ( I have yet to see Isabel Marant, so I am sure that will all change in a few weeks!)

I have no words for this collection other than 'complete genius'. I am sooo in love with this collection and look at those shoes!! Arggh those shoes!!! They need to be on my feet right now!

These are my favourite shows from NYFW to date. I am loving the lace, androgyny, surf inspired, and bright prints happening across this week.

Only a few more shows to go and then roll on London...

Illustration: Alexander Wang S/S 2012

My first illustration of the Spring Summer 2012 runway collections goes to Alexander Wang. I loved this collection, it seemed to be made up of different characters. Once again there was a strong 'sports' feel to this collection, which seems to be a strong trend coming through already at New York Fashion Week.

It felt so good to be able to have some time to do an illustration this morning. I can't remember the last time I put pencil to paper! I am hoping to do a few more of this fashion week, so keep your eyes peeled.

Spring Summer 2012 runway shows are upon us! Where has this year gone?! One of the few reasons I love seeing the runway show, is seeing how the trends that the trends company I currently design for, really start to show through and be proved! Starting off with New York fashion week, I am already liking some of the goods that New York has so far shown us. I absolutely love looking at all the runway shows..... so expect a few lust blogs coming up!!!

I am already counting down the days till my favourite designer shows in Paris..... yes you guessed it! Isabel Marant :)
However first up is Rag & Bone's Spring Summer 2012 collection is a stand out show so far.... with influences from 1970's surfers mixed with neon colours from the nineties with a few drawstring details added into the mix and I am a happy girl!


The bright blues contrasting against the oranges. The use of technical fabrics contrasting hand knit crochet vests and dresses are to die for!! This is a collection I could easily wear! I feel that poncho was designed for our non existant british summer!
