Flamingo Arts Project, Private View

On Thursday I attended the Flamingo Arts Magazine private view of their first art project at Betty's Cafe, Kingsland Road.

The idea was to bring together and showcase the best up-and-coming illustration talent in London. The nine artists displayed one composition each. The aim of the Flamingo Arts Magazine is to support and promote new talent.

I liked what I saw but the setting was cramped and there were only nine pieces on view. I'd like to see more in the future with perhaps a bigger display space.

Peter Pilotto Resort 2012

I recently visited Starworks PR HQ to view the Peter Pilotto Resort 2012 collection.

Other collections were on show from Roksanda to Jonathan Saunders,

however this was definitely my favourite.

The collection is so uplifting to look at whilst remaining wearable.

I love the bright, bold colours and the use of print

that the label has become famed for.

My personal favourite: the double-breasted blazer.

I can't wait to see what Peter Pilotto, and handsome design partner,

Christopher de Vos have in store for us at next month's LFW.

Mary Katrantzou, London Fashion Week A/W 11

As you may have already guessed,
I am a big Mary Katrantzou fan!
It has been my favourite show at both London Fashion Week S/S 11 and A/W 11, where both collections were heavily influenced by household interiors.
Last year's show Katrantzou labelled 'the room on the women',
whereas this year was entitled 'the women in the room'.

The prints in Katrantzou's recent show were just beautiful from the floral patterns on the knitwear and trousers, to the
ming vase-inspired panels on the waist
of the long, flowing, luxurious skirts.
I just can't wait to see what she has in store
for us next season!

Rob Ryan

Here are some of the art works by the highly acclaimed paper artist and screen printer Rob Ryan. I love the ethereal and fairy tale feel of his pieces and often peruse his works in his Colombia Road, E1, shop.

The pieces above and below were created for last year's Elle UK magazine to celebrate London Fashion Week.
