 Spotted   Fashion Designer Kirsty Ward

I spotted Kirsty Ward in Soho while she was out sourcing materials for her next collection. She’s had a very busy year: elle.co.uk named her a ‘Rising Star of 2011’ and Vogue.com announced that she was one of their ‘Designers to Watch in 2011.’ She was also selected as Selfridges’ ‘Bright Young Thing’ of 2011, she was short listed for WGSN Global Fashion Award’s – ‘Emerging Talent’ category, and she was selected to be part of Vauxhall Fashion Scout’s ‘Ones to Watch’ show in February 2011 and in September 2011 Kirsty exibited at London Fashion Week.

Whew! That is a lot of accomplishments, but her best accomplishment is that pair of shoes in the above photo – so cool!

Every week I’m visiting designers or PRs to pick up items for my shoots. Today I went to visit Becc at Bloody Gray PR. Every PR is unique. Becc represents quite a few new designers – which is perfect for Phoenix magazine!

Becc is super friendly and very professional – we even had a sneaky peak at some of the new collections but what is really charming and fun at Bloody Gray is that there is always cake & biscuits!

I went to visit Corrie Nielson at her studio at Somerset House and had a sneaky peak at her new SS12 collection. Of course I can’t show you any of the new pieces, you’ll just have to wait until London Fashion Week. Corrie won Fashion Fringe in 2010.

I love that Corrie’s pieces have a sense of drama. They make you want to dress up. We were chatting about how people still dress up for the opera and how nice that is: dressing up just makes everyday feel more special!

Today I went to visit designer Kirsty Ward. Kirsty is such a fun girl and I love her bold accessories. She’s been quite busy working on her new collection, which she’ll be exhibiting during London Fashion Week at Somerset House. She’s also working on production – all the accessories are made by hand!

I really enjoy visiting designers in their studio and chatting about their collections. I’ve been a big fan of Bora Aksu for many years. I went to visit him today to choose a selection of garments that I’m going to use for the Elite Model London fashion show.

I love how Bora uses different textures, fabric weights, knit and embellishment. It always come together so beautifully.

For several seasons Bora has used tights in his show. This autumn we should be able to purchase them as they will be launching a transactional website. They are also introducing a pre-collection for autumn/winter 2012.
