Pitching

I love looking through old Interiors magazines - they can be just as inspirational as fashion or art magazines for me. This was an editorial essentially about trimmings - something I seem to be collecting, judging by my styling kit and sewing bag. I love these embellished tents... food for thought. 

Collections Pt 1

'Women in Clothes' was a gift from a friend a few years ago, and is an unusual and interesting book with many contributors. It is divided in to sections: photographs, interviews, essays. One thing I enjoy throughout are the photographs of various women's collections of clothing. These include someones capsule collection of raincoats, another of grey sweatshirts, of fedoras.... It's an idea that appeals to me - the compulsion to collect variations of the same thing. Here are some quite bad photographs of my white t-shirts.

Incredible embellishment and embroidery from the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition at the Bowes Museum last month. I love the little jacket above especially - definitely a stand out party piece for Christmas!
