Pastel Palette S/S

Just loving the off kilter nudes, and pastels cropping up as stand-a-lone's or complementary partner's to some of S/S's more daring brights and primary's. This painting by a fairly unknown artist; Manasse, who I stumbled upon online, fuses a fabulous assortment of some of my favourite shades. Worn head to toe, or married with an in-your-face red, fuchsia, tangerine or purple, a soft pastel is your best friend this S/S.

Alex Noble show LFW off Schedule at St Martins Crypt

LFW 2011: Alex Noble's off schedule show, at St Martins in the Crypt.
Fabulous show, created like an installation inspired from Manhattan's meat packing district, only with an anatomical and ethereal fashion spin. External vertebrae and nude tu tu lemons with subtle ballet like nods in the form of leotardesque bodies adorned with grecian draped detailing were enough to wet the appetite of even a fashion veggie. The dark wood walls in the Crypt, the meat cleaver metal hooks, and the soundtrack of a beating heart only added to the moody atmosphere, orchestrated primarily by models wearing exoskeletal unitards poised gracefully on top of navy blue fuel barrels. Overall, an atmospheric and royal collection with a dark and cheeky edge, definitely one worth watching: Alex Noble.
