FFFFFashion week

Hello Lovely Peps,

Had such a long absence on the blogging front, Well you know what they say the girls to busy to keep a diary.

Yep ive been busy alright, moving about London town doing the pop up malarky.

All good but exhausting in these present times, Lots of good things have happened my most resent to date

is a call from Stylist mag asking to me make Kylie a new frock in the same vain as the white catsuit I did oh so many years ago.

I went with the first idea that popped in my head as I find that's normally the right idea.

plus had 1 day.

Funny because all that time ago she came round my house and had George my son on her knees, this time he was her fit model, yes my 12 year old is Kylie fit model.

Wish I could post the pics of him wearing it and sobbing at the same time, but he would truly kill me.

Its not quite right I have to say as a vital strap has been removed, which as a perfectionist it bugs me no end.

But im taking deep breaths and really im very proud

I have a few hours before I go do my thing at LFW.

If your around please come visit me, Im styling folk there which is always good fun, taking my weird gear for the fantasy element, Dressing daytrippers in popstar droppings !

promise to be back soon and fill you in all on the goss.

Much love and Stuff

New Collection

Hello all,
Hope you guys are all well, As for me im just so glad fashist week is over and I can get back to being creative. So here's the thing that pisses me off about fashion and the way it works, It takes soooo flaming long. Its no ones fault, its just the way it is.
 This is my first ever commercial collection which I designed donkeys years ago or so it seems and it only just ready now,  although not really as it has to go to Paris and get orders then it will be around in the summer I guess, Its so tedious all the waiting about and factory visits and the disappointments as it never end up looking quiet the same as it did in the first place.
I shouldn't really moan as I have not had to deal with that side, A lovely company called "Inspired by" have been dealt with all that side of things thankfully as I dont think I would have the patience.
Im more see it, buy it, have it.
Here's a sneak preview. Its inspired by all the artists I worked with last year, well mainly Kirsty Almeida and a dash of Claire Mcguire. That's the best thing about my job is I get to meet so many amazing people and their briefs are all so different it pushes you into doing something you would never have thought to do, hence tons of inspiration.
The new commercial (yuck dirty word sorry) collection turned up fresh from the factory yesterday and I whipped it out the box got it home, got my gorgeous house mate LeeLou in it, rammed some horns in her lovely head and bundled us into the shed as it was pissing down, whipped me camera out, boxed it back up, sent it back it now on its way to Paris. DONE. Getting so inpatient in my old age. Like a child, I want it NOW.
Just need your help now to help me decide which pics you think I should go with only need 3.

Much love and stuff

Shooting Stars

Hello All, Hope you all well and safe after resent escapades. I must admit I was terrified our little shop was going to get it but luckily my stuff is too weird to bother with.  Moving on sharply as it doesn't deserve any more discussion.
So just before it all kicked off I was shooting stars, Well they are stars in my eyes, been keeping the new camera busy with another side line. Press shots for Musicians and Djs, here are a few to have a little gander at, remember im new at this game. Was slightly shitting myself as the first lot of shoots could just have been a fluke. Still I find its good to do things that are a little scary. Keeps you on your toes. Hope you enjoy!

This is Rodney Hilton Smith from Roots Manuva (in case you didn't recognise him) Its just a test as we have been playing around with his look, trying new shapes/ silhouettes etc. This one is my fav, reminds me a little an early 80s Run DMC which is one of my fav times in music and fashion. I love the fact there is a figure in the reflection of the amazing Cazels, Worth at least 500 squid !!! lent to us as a special treat by the lovely Lee who sells the best vintage Glasses ever. Available in the Emporium and also in his new shop on Redchurch street eastside.

Im loving this look on Rodney, What a dude!!!

Great silhouette dont you think? very dapper, well it would be as the cape was another lend from the man himself Mark Powell. Cant go wrong really when Marks Designs are on board.

Have you heard Rodney's new track? Its pretty bloody good, Im well impressed, defiantly worth checking out. What a nice guy he is and funny too. Would love to work with this guy again he's got it going on.

This handsome devil is Jon Jak a dj who is based in Thailand, plays dance, electro and house currently entertaining the troops in Ibeefa.
In this pic Jon Jak wears jacket by" I dream of Wires" which we stock at the shop. I love their wares they are totally out there and beyond there time. Know that feeling...

Yes the amazing Cazels had to come out again, well I only had them for one day and had to get the most out of them. love this pic, very sexy dont you think? togs and hat from Emporium.

Another look for Jon Jak, Adorning a Mark Powell special.

Shoot in Used Not Abused, perfect for a dj isn't it.

Sorry Neil moved one record, cant remember if I put it back

where it lived. (This is why I am not allowed to touch)

Had to have the "Classic cuts" in there !

Another wicked guy who trusted me with my camera, Ahh bless.

Be back soon !!!

lots of love and fun

Latest news , I finally invested in a camera ! it was well over due, it does I have to admit drive me made keep pestering photographer mates asking if they will shoot my gear, then there's reeling all the models in finding locations, plus its always a favour, so it always takes longer, you know the score im sure.

Last Frocks From Farringdon.

Hello you all, Been a long time I know, but all I can say is "I have been busy" famous last words.
Anyway I have lots of new pics to show you but before I do I just wanted to show you the last frocks and bits made at our last Emporium.
They are quite special so I cant overlook them. The dress below was commissioned by an artist called Alice Angus who is based in Farrindon, She asked if I would be interested in making a dress out of her art.
Off course I said yes as her work is so beautiful. It was for an exhibition on "Fifties fashion and emerging feminism" So here is what I came up with....

Bit to much emerging feminism in this one, good thing its on a dummy.

Wish I had taken some more close ups as the fabric is so detailed.

Drape can be worn up or down.

I would love to see this on a real person. It all happened so fast.

Next minite it was out the door.

Crazy how you can put so much work, love and attention into something

never to be seen again.

This dress is currently being exhibited at The Collyer Bristow Gallery

To see more of Alice Angus artworks go to http://proboscis.org.uk

This gorgeous green cape was the very last piece to be made at the old place.

The last few beads where stitched on as bags where flying out the door.

The next day it was in the window of the new place and today it was sold.

soon it shall be on its way to Burning Man.

Some pieces are born to have adventures.

New blog soon come!

Much love

Mrs J
