Live Catwalk Illustrations by Kelly Anna

You many have noticed her, sat at the front rows of some of the fashion shows this season during LFW, a very well dressed fashion illustrator scribbling and scrawling frantically away. Her name is Kelly Anna, she is a very good friend of mine and incredibly talented. She is doing something that is so new and clever, fashion illustrations of the catwalk collections. Everyone has a camera these days, and everyone is a fashion photographer or street snapper but Kelly's illustrations capture the collections in a more permanent and physical keepsake, a piece of art you want to keep forever and treasure. Have a look at her blog for all the past few days illustrations including shows

Below illustrations from the Eudun Choi show and the designer himself
And her lovely illustrations of me
Celia Loves Kelly Anna!

Something for your Monday...On the Paris Metro

Its Monday morning, it is February the 1st, it is my birthday! Whoop! But i think all the excitement and anticipation over the weekend of manically looking forward to it, and constantly reminding everyone (by the hour) of what was to come has made me ill. Last night with 2 hours to go till my birthday gong, i started to come down with a sore throat, heavy head and a simultaneously blocked and runny nose. Not great but i am not going to let it ruin the day!

Anyway, champagne breakfast down and with the whole day ahead of me, i remembered a little something that i saw during Paris fashion week that made me smile...

Happy Halloween!

This is my most recent video for Buckstyle. Beware, there is some blood and gore. Grab a pillow and get ready to hide...

Acne Paper Party Pics

Now i am not one to post party pics on this blog, but this was a party worth noting about. It happened on Friday at the Spitalfield Church in my manor, East London. Vodka was flowing and everyone who was anyone was there. It was too much fun, a great party to catch up with all the people you work with on a daily basis and don't get to see often enough.
The theme of the new issue of Acne Paper was enlightenment, spirituality, transcendence and paradise. "As human beings we sense there is more going on than meets the eye... We are reminded about these energies when entering holy places created by great craftsmen and artist... Even the most sceptical atheist, when gazing at the icons, painting and sculptures, feel that there is something godlike about it." A very fitting comment for the grand location.

(L-R) Excellent publicist (to Katie Eary and Katie Rowland) Sergio Pacini and me.

The cover story (above) this issue is a collaboration between Tilda Swinton and Paolo Roversi, plus i got a lovely Acne canvas bag (below), with Swarovski crystals to add to my ever growing collection of Acne. I love it!

Acne Paper 9 is available worldwide from today (19th October 09)

McQueen Armadillo shoes SS10

So i went to the McQueen Press office earlier in the week to pick up some samples for the Buckstyle Halloween video shoot i was styling on Wednesday, and I stumbled upon all the SS1o womenswear samples from Paris fashion week. They were back and they were in my presence! I couldn't help but perv... And then i saw these!


Yes i did try them on!
Simply amazing, such works of art. Fashion moments like these are one of the reason i love and work in fashion.

Not Just a Label Pop-up store

Have you heard...? Online shop Not Just A Label will be opening an exclusive pop-up store in Notting Hill during the 23rd and 24th of October.

After 24 months online, the 2 day event at Beach Blanket Babylon, Notting Hill will see shoppers able to get their hands on the exclusive and mostly one off designs as well as meeting the designers.
Lara Stone, the most recent curator of the site (previous curators include Diane Pernet, Robin Schulié and Amanda LePore), will have her selection available in store as well as a whole host of promising designers. I certainly cant wait to be in the store and get my hands on all of the designs and see them face to face. God knows i love shopping online (and so does my bank card), but nothing beats the instant spark you get when you see a must have item on a rail. I have always found the site so inspiring and a great platform for new and young designers, even I myself have my graduating collection on the website, and although my pursuit to be a designer is on hold, it is always great to trawl the site for new talent. Here is my Top 5 buys from the site:

1- Box dress with 4 stud leather belt by Scott Ramsay Kyle
2- Warp Sequined vest by Lall_London
3- Squid Bodysuit by Donna_Sgro
4- Faux Fur coat by Nikicio
5-Enjoy Coke Singlet by Eleventh Commandment

And don't even get me started on the jewellery.... I love this "Faggott" necklace by Jesuisbelle:

The pop-up store will take place on Friday 23rd October 12 lunch – 11pm and Saturday 24th October 10am – 3pm. Beach Blanket Babylon, 45 Ledbury Rd, London, W11 2AA.
