Really Good Idea - Britart.com

London's Poke agency used SMS technology to link Britart and Selfridges. Passers by were able to bid for artwork displayed in the windows of selfridges via their mobile phone- Think its a brilliant idea!!!!

Pink champagne, pastel cupcakes and Jeremy Scott for Barbie clothes were all at the launch of the Barbie celebrations at Dover Street Market!

Henry Holland has created the Barbie space with includes a gigantic sculpture of Barbie applying lipstick by Martin Smeaton. Barbie and Ken dolls have been designed by Roksanda Ilincic, Danielle Scutt and Gareth Pugh. All three dolls were dressed in designer's signature looks. All dolls will be available in limited runs of 50 and i am desperatly trying to get my hands on one!

Jeremy Scott took the iconic Barbie logo and placed it all over skater dresses, leggings and denim jackets. I am definitely after a T-Shirt!! My Bday celebrations were inspired by the Barbie and Dover collaboration.

Rockabilly V loose Curls

Selecting the hairstyle for the shoot. Deciding for two different looks but would work well together.

French Connection SHOOT! J'adore Jumpsuit!!!

French Connection recently appreached us to do a photoshoot with them around the theme of our graduation ball. Earlier this morning i went in to select a few items for the shoot. Going on the website nearly all the items i had slected were not available.

I feel in love with an all in one tailored black jumpsuit. From a distance it looked just like a long evening gown- definatly an option for my own outfit!

TOKYO TOKYO TOKYO!!!!

I was one of forty Fashion Marketing students descending on Tokyo for a Fashion Trip of a life time! The five day trip was planned with military precision, every minute of our time there accounted for, so that we could cram everything in! With a population of 35 million people it is the most populated urban area in the world. You might expect a difference in style being situated half way round the world, but not to the extreme which we came across.

Department stores and exclusive boutiques stock every fashion label imaginable. The famous Ginza and Ikebukuro's giant Seibu and Tobu department stores are the largest in the world. The Exchange rate was not the best with 128Yen to every £1. Labels prices in Tokyo are typically higher than anywhere else in the world. As much as I could have filled five suitcases full of clothing my budget couldn't stretch to more than one!

Shinjuku is the district where futuristic skyscrapers are situated with hundreds of shops and restaurants and designer outlet stores such as Dior, Prada and Chanel. Unlike most cities Tokyo tends to home two to three flagship stores. Extraordinarily once they have been built after a few years they are knocked down and replaced by even more revolutionary concept stores.

Shibuya is the fashionable shopping district which also encompasses the teenybopper haven of Harajuku park which was the absolute high light of my trip. They are the best-known shopping areas for funky, youthful clothes and accessories. Almost without exception, clothes are sized for the petite Japanese frame.Every Sunday every fashion subculture imaginable comes out in force. Everything from Punks, Rockers, Elvis impersonators to groups I have absolutely no idea what to call
them??

Blown away by the sights of modern Tokyo, I was also taken back by the glimpse of old Japan. Japanese weddings take place throughout Sunday on the other side of Harajuku providing a vast contrast of elegance and tradition.



Tokyo is defiantly a must for any Fashion lover!!!
