Sneaky peek at the new collection. Gorgeous as always.

Following the path of offensive posts which have swearing in (sorry mum), I couldn’t resist posting about this from Alison Carmichael.

Its true, words do look much nicer when they are hand lettered. She has more gorgeous hand lettered typography on her website, well worth checking out. I promise tomorrow, no more swearing.

I have been an avid reader of Charlotte Taylor’s blog for some time, following her as she has prepares to launch her first collection at London’s Fashion Week.

Inspired by penguins, grannies and old soap operas this always promised to be an exciting collection. I have just looked through the  images of Charlottes collection online and IT IS GORGEOUS. The penguin print adds a flash of colour  to the navy, cream and tweed base and the cut of the clothes evokes elegance and femininity. I want it all! I am praying to the buying gods that be to please buy this collection, because I want to own it all.

I love these illustrations by Al Murphy.

You can see more of his work here.

Matthew Williamson is always the highlight of London Fashion week for me.

I have always loved his work, ever since I saw his Electric Angels collection in 1997.

I was so desperate to own something from it that I printed out every look from the collection and started a Matthew Williamson sketchbook. I love his use of colour and his prints continue to inspire me everyday. I read recently that he is working on a book that will be out towards the end of the year, I’m glad my sketchbook can be updated to an actual book.
