Studio_805 - London Fashion Week - A/W Collection 2009

Once again, daring to stand out from the crowd my dear friend Andrew Bannister shows his amazing dual gender collection for Autumn/Winter 2009 at the London Fashion Week 'Vauxhal Fashion Scout' show this September.

With big, red, shiny plastic 'sex doll-esque' mouth pieces, the installation of stationary models bedazzled the viewers with the Bowery-style progressive cuts and off the cuff mix of colour and texture that the label is becoming famous for.

Andrew's second collection is “preoccupied with confusing classic gender roles set within a Hogarth inspired landscape” – it's a confident, bold and entertaining collection that’s sure to be a hit with stylists.

And after the show, there is always time for a little partying...

And as gift for Andrew (and a belated Birthday pressie) we made a 'Tranny cake' - that yes, did taste as good as it looked...

3 wardrobes of clothes and STILL nothing to wear...

For the past few days I have literary been pulling my hair out trying to think of something to wear to London Fashion Weeks' Vauxhall Fashion Scout show....arrragggghhhhh!!!

In times like this I always look towards my true style icon of all time, Debbie Harry.

I decided to go through my old vinyl records and found one of my favorite Blondie albums - Parallel Lines. I LOVE this album and I LOVE the album cover......and then the inspiration came! And with the help of my Sizzix Die cutter (the BEST tool) and my trusty glue gun, I have made my self a gorgeous 100% bespoke hair fascinator....

From This.....

To this...
I am going to pair this up with a tiger print Ra-Ra skirt, a slash neck white T and a red vest, my all time fave blondie-tastic black stilettos and some matching black and white Lego jewellery.

(Photos to follow!)
I hope Debbie would approve! X

ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR...

The only place to be this Friday night is checking out the amazing work of Studio_805 at London fashion Weeks' Vauxhall fashion scout show. An event showcasing young designers and stars of tomorrow, from the newest trend setters to the most promising graduates and the most talked-about young labels, see them here before they hit the mainstream!

Andrew Bannister the brains behind Studio_805, (and a very close friend of mine! X) shows through his latest collection an energetic, fast paced and impactful source of fresh and directional fast fashion and emerging trend ideas that keep you right on the pulse.

For this collection the jewellery was made by myself from red and white Lego. You too can hook a piece of my manipulated Lego jewellery in my Etsy shop http://www.upcycleme.etsy.com/)

So luckily for me, I have bagged myself a front row seat for the event...I'm so exited!
