Stray From The Mode: July 2011

Pretty Fine

My parents are Fine Art Dealers, specialising particularly in dog-themed paintings or jewellery. When I was helping them to pack up their stand the other day, I saw this beautiful and delicate watch. I think it's mainly the simplistic black band of the watch in comparison with the gold which I love rather than the miniature dog images (although those are pretty cute too).

Laura Holmes

I apologise for not posting in such a long time (once again :p), but I got distracted by my room which took 4 DAYS to tidy, and still resembles a junk yard, and then my days just sort of continued so that I never continued with posting. However, I am now working with Laura Holmes Productions. I'm pretty psyched for this work experience, even if it takes me an hour and 20 minutes to get there from the other side of London- aka, where I live. I'll keep you updated on that, but for the time being it's my first day and I'm just being sent on errands. For now, enjoy this gorge McQueen skirt which I found on ebay. Paris here we come:

Maybe now is the time to mention that my birthday is coming up pretty soon? 20th July, taa :)

'Moda' in Spanish, 'mode' in French, and 'moda' in Italian. It all translates into fashion.

I worship the daring designers who step across boundaries, inspiring the cuckoo and the crazy in all of us. Alexander McQueen was one of those, and I adored him. I think that fashion needs these new boundaries.
I'm no wacky, bold fashionista, but I try and dress a little differently to my friends. Alongside following the modes and the trends, it is important to take a creative leap. If we don't, we will always follow the same, monotonous approach. It is important therefore, for the sake of art and fashion, to Stray From The Mode.
