He's alright.

The exhibition challenges perceptions of fashion imagery. The exhibition showcases innovators such as John Galliano, Gareth Pugh, Vivienne Westwood and Kate Moss.


"We are in the midst of a revolution in fashion imagery," Knight asserted. "Moving away from illustration and stills photography, we are now entering the restless world of interactive, self-created, digital-imaging: accessible, downloadable and constantly changing. This is what interests me. Working with the very top fashion creators, this show will open up the whole process of fashion to literally everyone, instead of just an informed few."


I love the interaction between the designer, brand and consumer. I found it very inspiring. At one point there was a model sitting in a chair and you got the chance to speak to him through a phone. I didn't, Miss Tehrani had a little flirt.

Louis Vuitton gets Sproused up!

A delayed favourite upload.



A visit to NY last January this 2009 led to this picture of a Louis Vuitton store in Soho. I love the vibrant neon orange graffiti by punk artist Stephen Sprouse. I think this collaboration is genius, as I am a particular fan of graffiti artists.

Norman Parkinson

My secret love for Norman Parkinson entales his fashion photographs in black & white. I love the striking images with high British fashion. Parkinson's work covers over seven decades right through the war to the 80's. I really like the tayloring of the clothing and with parkinson capturing the sophistication and feminity of the strong, powerful women.
