Hermès - J’aime mon carré
A simple statement from Paris – J’aime mon carré or I love my scarf. Shout it in the street, write it in lipstick on your mirror, stick it on your fridge, pin it to your chest!
Hermès believe in the idea that their silk scarf is for life and for living, as do we! In appreciation to this very idea Hermès have created a fanzine in order to document the fervour around that traditional silk square of which the Hermès ‘carré’ is the ultimate expression. British photographer Matt Irwin, Art Director Dean Langley and stylist Francesca Burns travelled to London, Paris, New York and Tokyo with 7 girls, 4 boys and 250 scarves in order to create this wonderful fanzine!
From the 18th-21st November J’aime mon carré will be at the Rochelle school of art, and 25th November at Ledbury Road, West London. Here you will learn how to style your scarves with the experts and get your style on record by one of their photographers! Definitely one not to be missed!

Francesca Woodman
I recently stumbled across the work of American photographer Francesca Woodman. Her images undeniably portray a distinct style; one that I cannot get enough of. Black and white images that usually depict a naked woman/herself or destruction each with blurred effects, created by camera movement and long exposure settings. The strong dark narrative tones within each of her photographs create an eerie and distressed feel; a feeling that Woodman herself was later found to be feeling at the time. She became depressed after a broken relationship and with her work itself, which led her to sadly committed suicide in 1981 at such a young age, 22. There are only 120 images of Woodmans' that have ever been published/ exhibited. Such a waste of life and tremendous talent, I could spend all day looking at her work.

Triumph Inspiration Award 2010
The Triumph Inspiration Award (TIS) is an annual competition that challenges design students worldwide to create an exciting and unique piece of lingerie to showcase at the final show. Around since 2008, its fresh, new and innovative designs have proved to be a perfect pre LFW show.
All of the pieces were pre-shot by Rankin and modeled by Helena Christensen who looks ridiculously in every shot.
