Beyond The Chintz Eley Kishimoto S/S 10

We went to the Eley Kishimoto S/S 10 collection Beyond The Chintz.

A clashing of visual references in the home environment; a predilection for old value co-exists with modern commodity. The quiet madness of this chaotic affection surrounds the inhabitants, observed but not questioned the closed door.





The catwalk came alive with their signature bold prints which always reflect their textile background.
Our pictures were really rubbish so here are pictures from London Fashion Week website

This print reminds us of the embroidery piece which we saw at The Spitialfields City Farm last year







Loving the slouchy socks chunky strappy sandals






Clash of angles and chintz


Also checkout their pop up shop at 8 Kingly St Soho, which holds their current collection, flash pieces and sample sale downstairs.

Appliqué

Appliqué
Ornamented with a pattern (which has been cut out of another color or stuff) applied or transferred to a foundation; as, appliqué lace; appliqué work.

So following on from Do you like my Angles in print I decided to experiment in appliquéd leather. Here are the results which can be worn as a statement necklace or attached to a vest.

BNN does London Fashion Week

So we went to London Fashion Week to buy stock for the shop.








........ok we did quite a bit of drinking but it helps us get through the stands.

iPod Earphones Pendant

Love this pendant from Oye Modern designed by Australian artist Nathan Thomas

The same size as the real thing, they are just like your iPod earphones. Those white earphones are everywhere, but you’ll be the only one with these sterling silver ones.

Cana of Galilee

Picked up this beautiful bag at my local charity shop maybe donated by a Irish Catholic from there trip to the Holy Land.

Water into Wine
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine.""Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."......

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. (John 2:1-11)
