_Nick @ Marc Jacobs:Not an ordinary internship!
This post is about my friend Nick, I lived with her last year in Leeds, but now she is interning in New York at Marc Jacobs. She has been working all hours of the day for weeks running up to the AW10 Show and now She has had time to share with her friends how its been, and here are some photos. The first picture is of a dress of which she designed the bow. The two pictures after it show the detailing and design which is feminine and elegant. Really subtle, and elaborate at the same time. Of all the looks, 'WWD' chose this one to put in their issue about the show!Well Done Nick!The third photo is of another look from the catwalk:Nick designed and sowed the embroidery on this coat and also decided the placement of it, and there's the lady herself hard at work in the fourth photo. She has completely thrown herself into everything whilst being at Marc Jacobs and I'm so proud of her, cant wait till shes back to tell me more about it! This last pick i thought was cute so put it in for humour!

_Atomic
I came across these amazing dresses today, they're Christopher Kane and available at Matches. Recently I've had a thing for graphic photo print textiles - these intense images of atomic bombs, along with the surreal dreamy colour palette make these really special. They range from £188 to £838, quite a difference! I'm guessing there'll be lots of factors in that jump, materials, cut, low - high quanties all included. I think Kane gets it right with his choices of femininity mixed with strength (gorilla/crocodile). x

I really love this photo, the dress is so dreamy, and the blue McQueens look amazing with it. It reminds me of Elle's styling for Fanni Schiavoni SS10 with the grainy rocks! Beautiful!

_Ikat
Ikat is a style of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. It exists throughout the Eastern world and I just love the patterns and colours that are created with this technique. I guess i like it as it's part ethnic, aztec, tribal. These aspects have never and will never lose their appeal to me. Prints in textile are so important to me, and seeing these ancient dresses and swatches makes me want to start designing patterns myself.

_Sasha Pivovarova:Interview Magazine Feb'10
I am in love with this Shoot, everything about it is amazing, would of loved to be a part in making it!Its beautifully styled, the scribbles,drawings,graffiti-esque concept is weaved so well through the clothes and the set. I think it's one of my favourite shoots of all time!! The photographer is Craig McDean, I've only just looked through some of his other shoots on Art + Commerce and really like them all. Credit to the stylist Karl Templer - he hasn't tried to let trends dictate his ideas and concepts behind the shoot. Templer has thoroughly executed this creative idea with a new burst of energy. There is a sense of unity throughout it. It reminded me of these artists below....
