Hussein Chalayan's 'table skirt'.

From his Fall 2000 collection. I'm obsessed with his genius and his commitment to challenging the boundaries of art/fashion.

Muse for Saturday 28th August, 2010 - Cyd Charisse.

 Look at her!! She was so delicious. Apparently Fred Astaire once observed of her: 'That Cyd! Once you dance with her, you stay danced with!' Doll after my own heart.

This week has been an odd-assortment of demanding folk; I'm about to go for an epic run out around uni and back to get away from them all. Turning off my phone has never felt like such a subversive act before.

On an amusing note; I've been offered a significant amount of money to 'style' an older friend of mine and her friend as well. This amuses me no end, and when she asked me I was completely taken-aback. Basically because I really admire great style, but I've never considered that I have great style, or would be able to fake having great style. I tend to dress like a Vargas pin-up, Stevie Nicks and Susanna Hoffs circa The Bangles era, got chucked in the washer together. I seem to reach for anything in lace almost by default, and have an obsession with ankle socks, thigh-highs and head- dresses verging on demented. Whimsical and womanly - yes, but elegant or 'stylish' - no.

I'm definitely going to do it though. I think it will be fun to dress older women and it might just get me looking a bit more sophisticated in the process. We can only hope, right?

Lanvin Campaigns.

Lanvin are my favourite campaigns bar none. They present so many narratives to me; I adore fashion images that really embrace the genre's capacity to incite voyeuristic participation in the mind of their viewer... just makes for really memorable photographs I believe.

Latest artist obsession: Ellen Rogers.

Ellen Rogers satisfies my imagination's desire to feed on spectacular pictures.
