in the past

I was going through my folder I call the Bible (thanks alec) which is full of anything I find pretty and cool, mostly pictures I randomly drag off the internet that dont have much use other then to be collected and for me to come back across on a rainy day. So, way back in 07 A level days I did my final photography project on Sylvia Plath. One of my heroes and favorite people/poets/writers of all time. I think it all kicked off when I tried reading the Bell Jar as a 12 year old but ended up putting it away and revisiting when I was older and wiser!! Anyway, these images from W Magazine caught my eye then and still do now. Its not even because Gwyneth plays Plath in the movie 'Sylvia', in fact I didn't watch the movie until after I found these pictures and started the project, it was just the weird, eerie, distant feeling of them that made me rip them out my magazine and franticly glue them in my sketchbook. I like that she seems slightly unhinged...not sure how to explain it. But these are beauties and to be quiet frank anything that makes me think of Sylvia Plath deserves going into my Bible. I like incorporating Literature into my work, I did a design brief for my Fashion course that Plath formed inspiration for and was the basis of the whole thing. Its all about the crossover people! For real...mmm, maybe Im slightly obsessed...Have a lookie.

p.s Gwyneths daughter is called Apple! how friggen cute!

I think its good karma...

Let me tell you a little story....This time last year me and Alec had the worst job of our lives handing out flyers in Richmond, like little poor children we spent a lot of time groveling and the windows of shops longing for everything we couldn't afford. Anyway, The Russell and Bromley loafers (you know the ones, cute as a chubby baby, little tassels...) where stalking us, we really wanted to trot around in matching shoes.... I pretty much needed them! So when I was next at home I dragged my mum and step dad to the shop and pretty much begged and begged but Linc (the wisest shopper ever) was like "no Passi, I think you need to wait, these are so expensive, wait for the sale, shop around more first" la la la....so reluctantly I did. In the mean time I found some substitutes at Absolute vintage for only £25. Then the sales came and went, no reductions on the £125 shoes and still to this day no reductions!!!!A hole year one!! I need to stress how much Linc convinced me it "wasn't the time" to get them, pretty sure I can quote "its not the right time for them, just wait a while"....so I forgot about the little buggers UNTIL....I went shopping with the crew "oh look, a pop up vintage market, lets go in" la la la I find a cute dress, browse about then I see none other then the Russell & Bromley loafers, brand new, my size, being sold by a woman who got them, wore them once, they didn't fit her so was reluctantly selling them for a steal. So I bagged myself the dream lil shoes for a mere £38!! Thats what I call karma, it was as if they where actually there for me to buy. So weird. So yeah, I got new shoes and Linc was right, again! PEACE OUT.

FriezeARTFAIR

Well Frieze Ar Fair was pretty good. boiling though and pretty packed with the slow type that make me surprisingly angry, I went on the first day though so what should I expect. I saw some amazing pieces, I really enjoyed the sculpture pieces. White Cube Gallery hello, love it. It was a beautiful day to so that was nice. I always get a little bit scared at Art Fairs because of the really strange pieces (in my opinion) that some craaazzzy artists make. The kinda stuff that could give me nightmares! Like this wax work of Hitler with a massive moth on his face, theres a picture below, creapy or what, I hate moths, there ugly and they eat my clothes. There was also this weird man in a hard hat that looked so real and his hands wobbled....There was lots of really lovely and pretty pieces too though, I just get scared easily. Twas a good balance!! I really recommend going if you can before its too late!! Amazing opportunity to see work by amazing artists from the worlds most prestigious galleries. Yes, it was very good. As it was a bit hectic and packed I didnt do anything clever like make note of the artists names and stuff to match with the pictures, so sorry!! Here you go, a few of my favorite pieces and places at Frieze : ) as you can tell, some shot with a camera and some with a phone curtsy of Giorgio Enzo. brraappp.

my makeshift advert

hell yeah thats a 20 foot statue of Naomi Campbell with a passi pocket tag...yea mate, shoulda done it on the front...may have been slightly more appatising. This all happen at the Somerset House SHOWstudio Fashion Revolution exhibition, it was swell. I recommend you check it out. Its really cool, lots of my love Martin Margielas stuff so it was bound to impress me. Go see.

Im choosing to look at Rene Gruau for my latest project. I like his use of negative space. And colours. And I generally think these are prettttty awesome. Looking forward to digging in.

Knit Knit Knit

I have been moved in forever now but still have so much (please excuse) shit in boxes that I really dont want to open, although im sure Ive been thinking about where loads of stuff is recently and it all just clicked....anyway the good news is ill be whipping one thing this weekend and thats my knitting machine. The most old school baby there is, im pretty sure I wont be able to set it up without Ash....or remember how to use it. Im home alone and a tad uninspired by watching american teen dramas online all day so im going to go knit mad and post my creations on here! whoop whoop. Its rather exciting. I got given it by a amazing woman called Leila and its one of the best gifts ever!! I had a whirl at it in halls and I made a mouse, which unfortunately got eaten by a kitten. But now its getting cold i'm about to go knit mad, I hope I manage to make something half decent, jumper, scarf, socks, hat, mittens....just about anything I can knit I guess. Yeah, here goes. It will probably be a massive disappointment. Wish me luck!!!!

how pretty is this

Meow Miu Miu

Miuccia if I could kiss you I would. I love the long pointy collars. I guess im a bit of a shirt girl, I tend to find beauts in sales during the summer then the get chucked into my wardrobe until the cold comes. Im looking forward to digging some out this autumn, I got a lovely little Ann Demeulemeester shirt in a sale earlier this year that has a collar similar to these Miu Miu ones, they kinda remind me of party sandwiches....not sure why....And the prints! I love the little animal prints. Sweet. These are my favorites from the SS10 collection, all images courtesy of Style.com.
