Happy Monday

A visual orgasm to lift away those Monday Blues. 
An array of beautiful digital collages from the artist Leif Podhajsky.
Leif describes his work as a"theme of connectedness, the relevance of nature and the psychedelic or altered experience. Pursuing a symbiosis between digital techniques and organic outcomes."

Preen: Prim and Proper Neon Floral Goodness








This new collection creates a burning desire to go back to the drawing board, or in this case, the paint room at college, and experiment with a Catherine Wheel, some Dulux tester pots and a tropical bouquet, and maybe a blender, just to mix things up, mix media style a little further.

As you work your way through the collection, the nods of floral appreciation become more youthful, as does the pallette, hinting to neon tones  and digital abstract pallette knife smudges to create something so mouth watering, that you want to wear it to show up your not so best friend at a wedding, whilst als contemplating whether to wear it for 4 days straight at any of the great British festivals......just for the hell of it, and because it looks so damn great.

If digital printing be the new food of love......Eat it.....all of it.

May Inspiration be with you




p








Great girls, Fluro pops, fruity bikini's, pink hair, draping dip dyed gowns, Turkish Geo prints, grunge styling..... everything i want from my summer to come....

Bloody Hell Chanel......





With a  nod to more than just one era,  what seems to be the love child of Mary Antoinette, Claire Boucher (Grimes) and Venus Palermo (a recent feature to tabloids for her japanese doll aesthetics) has been created in Lagerfeld's latest Cruise/ Resort collection.

To say that a prozac is needed to get you through to the end of the collection is again, more than an understatement. The signature tweeds are still a prominent running feature, in more candy tones than previously, with Creepers, sneaking under the oversized bellbottoms, and volumous below the waist attire.  

Either Lagerfeld has intended to create an ugly tribute to japanese Antoinette grunge, or I just should keep quiet on this one........

Berlin





























From Vintage Boutiques to living rooms disguised as print studio's, and from models with reindeer to mulled wine, Berlin was a feast of festivities, especially nearing the jolly old date of 25.12.
Christmas markets a cimbo, the main reason for my short but sweet reside in this beautiful(but scarily quiet) city, was thanks to a shopping inspiration trip with work. But of course, the camera was with me the whole time. Everything in Berlin seems so effortlessly cool, a certain nonchalent je ne sais quois.....Perhaps it keeps them in tune to their sub zero temperatures. Never the less, the shops were a feast to the eyes. Packed full of wacky hand made accessories, jumpers are flocked and foiled to within an inch of their life and, luckily for me, it seems like print is most definitely the new black in this city.
Sady on this flying visit, no time does indeed equal no techno. Alas, I will have to return for another 3 days, but this time to not leave the club for 72 hours.........
