One To Watch - Joe Richards

Morning guys, how are we? I've just been reading the Business of Fashion and stumbled upon an up and coming fashion designer Joe Richards. Currently mentored by fashion consultant Yasmin Sewell, this young London based designer has worked at the likes of Céline and Dior. 

His design aesthetic combines simplicity and functionality, combined with a masculine edge. His SS14 collection was inspired by the style and sophistication of Lee Miller and Greta Garbo, with a strong emphasis on the shirt. 

Like myself, Richard's also collects archival garments as reference pieces.

Richard's experience within the industry clearly translates in his debut collections showing his understanding of building a collection which is commercially viable while still maintaining a strong identity.
There is so much potential within this brand, let's see what AW15 brings.

Céline SS14 Campaign

Featuring Phoebe Philo's favourite face, Daria Werbowy and photographed by Juergen Teller. What stood out to me on the catwalk was the styling and accessories. Each piece is an artwork in itself. The mules below with their metal sculptural heel came up over coffee this morning, I have to say they are quite a talking point.

One To Watch - Ming Ma

Sunday is upon us, my favourite day of the week especially if I can sit back, relax, reading 'The Times'. 
Just my luck that today I have to work, but not before a few sneaky posts. 

I've raved about the website before but 1 Granary really showcases new raw talent from the alumni at Central Saint Martins, among various other topics. 

I had to focus on BA student Ming Ma who has been successfully accepted to progress onto the MA course. You can see below from her work that she has strong skills in pattern cutting and draping. It just so happens that she was inspired by artists such as Duilio Barnabé and Geoffrey Beene, both of which are artists I draw inspiration from. Perhaps thats why I like her clean, sculptured pieces so much. With the freedom CSM offers I look forward to seeing this designer develop her skills.

LFW & MFW - Street Style

Sorry for my absence. I have a lot of projects on at the moment and I need a really good wifi connection to be able to work on my blog, some hotels really need to sort it out! The next few months are really busy with trips to NY, Hong Kong and India so please bare with me. 

I have been going over the collections, what are your thoughts? I think a lot of brands have really pushed embroidery and applique work this season, its really exciting to see new techniques. Also, sheer layering guys...ORGANZA is a new craze, its everywhere!

Before I delve any deeper, here are my selection of street style snaps which I am loving, and would happily rock up in at the studio.

My Picks - Celine Pre Fall 13

When it comes to Celine collections I usually get a little bit speechless. Not because I have nothing relevant to say but I feel like I am a broken record. The collections always entice me. For me Phoebe Philo continues to break the mold in fashion.
