I’ve been a fan of Olivia Rubin for quite some time, and I’ve got quite a few of her dresses in my wardrobe, so I was quite happy to find out that she’s designed a collection entitled ‘Postcards From‘ for Dorothy Perkins. She’s previously done collaborations with ASOS, Oli.co.uk, Very.co.uk and Dune. Olivia is known for her signature graphic prints on a variety of simple feminine silhouettes and this collection starts at £35 so they’re perfect for a summer!
Olivia Rubin graduated from Central St. Martins College and while still a student she interned with couturier Jacques Azagury, Tristan Webber and Jade Jagger. Before launching her eponymous label 7 years ago, she worked for Alexander McQueen and John Galliano in Paris.
I don’t think I ever realized that Los Angeles would feel like a desert – hot and dry with mountain peaks that could actually be snow covered in the winter. It’s been really hot and sunny, and most of our shoot time as been spent outside – which is great. It’s always a bit disappointing when you’re in another country and you spend all your days inside a studio.
It’s understandable that everyone wants to move here. I worked with a makeup artist yesterday who just moved here from New York because of the weather. There’s lots of work here but really it’s the climate and the lifestyle that makes me want to be here. I’ll just have to come back again!
I’d never seen a lemon tree until today and was quite delighted!
I first met Gabby Young at London Fashion Week and you can’t help but adore her. She’s a big fan of Vauxhall Fashion Scout and was seeing quite a few shows there before heading off to the US to do a tour. One of her favourite fashion shows was Inbar Spector so it was only fitting that she wore one of Inbar’s dresses and with her red fishtail braid and bare feet she looked like a princess mermaid.
Koko was her biggest headline performance to date and it’s one of my favourite venues – it’s perfect for a cabaret – jazz event.
The show was like being at a circus complete with an acrobat. There were so many different choirs and people who joined Gabby on stage and it just felt like a magical night! It was a very happy audience and it was like being at one big party where every knows each other – even though you don’t, but it’s one of those rare events where strangers are talking to strangers and that warmth definitely comes from Gabby.
I’ve always liked Nicola Roberts and I quite like how she’s been dressing this past year. She looks like she’s having more fun and I think she looks great on the cover. She’s just launched her new album and now there’s a video of her single Beat Of My Drum. Although I like her look in general, I’m not too keen on her outfits in the video.
Love Austra’s video The Beat & The Pulse. They are are Canadian band: Katie Stelmanis, drummer Maya Postepski and bassist Dorian Wolf. Love Katie’s voice – she studied opera when she was 10 and plays viola and piano! How cool is she!
