In Wolves Clothing


is a show that revolves around our enduring fascination with and use of dolls in contemporary visual language.
"Today, high art and high fashion’s enthralment with the doll as a medium with a message continues. From Matell’s Barbie who has literally — albeit unexpectedly — pioneered high-powered jobs for woman over the last sixty years to the newly celebrated Enchanted Doll by Marina Bychkova telling a tale of vulnerability beneath layers of elaborate costuming, the art form continues to be a metaphor of personal identity.  Able to freely explore the beautiful, the bizarre, and the grotesque all at once with flexibility that an actual human cannot, the doll has essentially become a modern deity for contemporary problems, a platform on which to stitch a story."
Artists in the show include the following: Viktor & Rolf, Andrew Yang, Barbie, Nancy Fouts, Marina Bychkova, Nick Knight, Michael Baumgarten, Lone Sigurdsson, Laurie Simmons & Peter Jensen. Show runs 9 September 2010 — 30 October 2010 in London.

All Saints

The sale is still on at Allsaints

and yeah...I was bad.  Picked up the gorgeous 4th Horseman tunic from Laurie Lipton (*amazing* artist -already own the bride tee) and the Distress Dress, because of the material and the yummy cowl neckline. I'll need something cozy like this for Xmas in Paris at the end of the year. A girl can never be too prepared so I'm starting early!
