Red or Dead Tea Party Watch Launch

img339 Red or Dead Tea Party Watch Launch

I love tea parties and this one was for the launch of Red or Dead’s Watch Collection. I think a tea party is always a great event – what girl doesn’t love cake?! I love cake; it always looks so inviting, so delicious and tempting that I can’t decide what I want. I almost can’t think at all! Yet somehow cake always seems to disappoint me, it’s never as delicious as it looks, it’s so deceiving; the excitement and the high of choosing a piece of cake is so grand that perhaps the taste cannot live up to my expectations. Ice cream, on the other hand, although not as aesthetically pleasing as cake but nice enough, generally seems to taste quite nice. I am almost never disappointed by ice cream, but the anticipation just isn’t there.

The watches were quite lovely and fun. Lots of bright colours and some really great styles. I never wear a watch to tell the time, I use my mobile for that, I think a watch has really become an accessory. More so for a women than men. I think a watch is still really a status symbol for a man and of course it can be too, for a certain type of woman but for the most part I think we wear a watch more as an accessory.

This is Katie Greenyer, the creative director of Red or Dead. How super cute is she!

Spice Girls outfits sketch by Cavalli

Cavalli has designed outfits for The Spice Girls’ comeback tour, which starts Dec 2 in Vancouver, Canada! Apparently Victoria Beckham has been personal friends with Cavalli for a long time, and that’s how they got him to design for them. It pays to have a fashionista in your band!

Here they are back in the day – what a great image!

The Icelantic Hatter: Thelma Bjork

 The Icelantic Hatter: Thelma Bjork

I recently went to Iceland, where I met up with Icelandic fashion designer Thelma Bjork. She makes embellished headbands, and I love them! I’m a bit intimidated by the hat, but the headband I have no issues with: somehow it’s easier, less of a commitment than a hat but it makes an equal statement! While she specializes in handmade headpieces with embroidery, Thelma also works with knit and crochet. She first learned needlework from her grandmother when she was just eight years old, and hasn’t stopped sewing since! Thelma studied at the prestigious Ecole Lesage (atelier de broderie) in Paris, where she now lives. She sells in Japan, Sweden, Iceland, Italy, London and Le Bon Marche in Paris.

Christopher Beales and Prince

Posted by Rebekah Roy on November 28th, 2007

You never know what will be an inspiration for a garment. Sometimes all you’re given is a swatch of fabric and that’s where you begin! I think it’s great fun and inspiring!

I love working with Christopher Beales. He’s a fantastic tailor and pattern maker!!! He’s so great; he’s one of London’s best kept secrets – but I don’t think he’ll be a secret much longer since he has started making suits for Prince!
