Romance & Roksanda

Roksanda, Roksanda, Roksanda....your proving to be a re-occurring character in my blogging life. No doubt after Fashion Week I will be writing yet another post on you but lets focus on the here and now ayy! Or maybe a little bit of the future...Here is a little selection of designs from the S/S 10 pre collection. Pretty huh? I love the colours, the draping and of course the ruffle and tuffle inspired by the ever romantic rose, a seriously indulgent component of Roksandas designs. How can anyone deny the combination of romance and such a p.r.e.t.t.y. piece !
Im looking forward to seeing the limited edition cocktail dresses Ilinic will be doing for Whistles this September, I'm sure that it will be worth the extra saving of pocket money, after all its an investment.( i like to hammer this into my head so I feel a little less guilty when I spend my loan on clothes I shouldn't reeeaaallly be buying). Anyway, I definitely need a new cocktail dress.
On another note I should be working at her Fashion show this LFW with Mandi Lennard (YAY)!!! So ill get a chance to look but not touch some of the most appetising dresses of the season. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

‘Mat, Satiné, Brillant’

As a flu bug stuck in the house I couldn't help but wish I could morph it into a clinical white heaven, similar to the likes of the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition that happen back in april in Millan/the original in Paris. Its introduces his concepts of interior design through the instillation 'Mat, Satine, Brillant' . Its a exact reproduction of the b-e-a-utiful interior design workshop in the Paris head quarters. Where all the magic happens. I'm feeling a bit drowsy so the length of detail in this post is limited, I'm just fantasying about my heros 'pad' and how I'm so so sure I'd feel on top of the world if I could be dropped in there. Pretty amazing to be able to just double a place, one in Paris, one in Millan (bring it to my living room?). Its interesting to see how and where the genius works I LOVE HIMMMM. It has a similar feeling/mood to my ma and step pops works, the whole family are big fans of his, (but not in a creepy way)... the old but new thing, dirty but clean, worn to the bone but pristine. I'm blabbing... all I know is I have a head ache and I'm sure I wouldn't if I was there. Someone?!?! Private jet you wana lend me?? Time Machine too??

Sorry I disappeared, I took a page from Alice's book. I love Colleen Atwood

Hello everyone. I've been completely engrossed in the rumors about Tim Burtons Alice In Wonderland ever since they stared, so yesterday when I saw the trailer I was like wtf!!! Youtube that shiz (link), its soooo exciting. And as often, the legend costume designer Colleen Atwood has been on the case. Dressing Johnny Depp!?!?! YES PLEASE!!! She does go hand in hand with the whole Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp trio, and does a ammmmazing job. Alice is a actress I admit I haven't really heard of.... Mia Wasikowska?!! Needless to say we all will as soon as this babies out of the bag. Any whoo go Collen Atwood for yet nailing another, it ill no doubt add to the endless awards and nominations up her (I'm sure beautiful) sleeves. Anyway, its not out till March 2010 so we have a bit of a wait : (  heres some piccys. I'de love to be in ANY of their shoes x x

Angel-A. The French fantasy.

Angel-A is a amazing film. Really beautifully directed, I wanted to jump into my laptop and run around Paris. Luc Besson is a genius. Bessons film Leon has been my favorite film since I was like 11, my mum wasn't impressed when I watched it with my dad on new years eve as little 11 year old but im so glad I did!! Anyway Angel-A was the first film Luc Besson had directed after a 7 year gap. He sure aint lost his touch. Its so pretty and generally amazing. Set in Paris (love), beautiful in its simplicity, supernatural, a true fantasy. I havnt seen anything like this. Its well worth a watch! Its now a new favorite.
