I saw these shoes on the platform at a tube station and thought someone forgot them while changing to into their flats, but on closer inspection I noticed that the heel had snapped. That’s just one of worst things that can happen on an evening out – you can’t really wear just one shoe and limp around all evening, so this wearer just decided to ditch both shoes!

I had the pleasure of meeting the charming duo behind Fyodor Golan, Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman, at their press day. I used one of their dresses in our last issue of Phoenix and saw their winning collection this season at Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden! I thought their collection was so beautiful – I can’t wait to use it for my shoots. There is lots of texture and thousands of tiny lazer cut petals that are reminisant of impressionistic paintings.
Fyodor graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp in 2007 and and Golan graduated from the Istituto Marangoni in 2008. After working at Issey Miyake and Alexander McQueen respectivley, they launched Fyodor Golan in February 2010 for their first show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout. Fyodor said the only person that he would allow to to draw on his illustraions is Golan and that they work well as they are true opposites.
The show at Fashion Fringe and the very beautiful Claudia Schiffer.
…our shoot for Phoenix magazine, with Leah Weller in Fyodor Golan:

I’ve been customizing t-shirts for a shoot. We’ve been using lots of crystals, chains and pearls! It’s quite amazing how embelishment can completely change a look.

.jpg "Wooden Hats by Keely Hunter")
Keely Hunter is a London based hat designer presently making wooden hats! I love the idea of a wooden hat and had a chat with Keely about her inspirations.
What inspired your collection?
‘NEW BUILD’ for me was all about contributing to design in a directional sense, hence I have produced a series of pieces made from wood and other non-traditional millinery materials. The focus is 5 minimalist designs with a maximalist twist. Punctuated by splashes of bold colour and drawing inspiration from architecture and conceptual sculpture I wanted to create a bold sense of design that looks firmly towards the future.
Where did you study?
I graduated from an HNC in Millinery from Kensington & Chelsea College (the course is taught by Kirsten Scott, who used to be the milliner at Chanel). Before turning to millinery I was a product developer/buyer in tailoring at Arcadia.
Are the wooden hats light, easy to wear?
The Mohawk is a bit heavy – but amazing! But everything else is actually quite light. Weight was obviously a key consideration during the design process, but this is something I have controlled so the pieces are wearable.
I asked Keely for a brief description of her hats:
Wood Mohawk
Birch, balsa and perspex create a sculptural hat giving a contemporary take on the classic punk-rock hairstyle.
Hinged Cap
Treated balsa-wood, connected together using internal aluminium hinges creating a sense of movement to the piece, which essentially turns the wood into a fluid fabric which allows curves and shape in a material that is normally flat and hard.
Walnut Veneer Fan
Walnut and walnut burr with veneer.
