COMPANY Takeover!

I've been meaning to do this post for a while now but I've just moved back down to uni so everything has been a bit hectic, catching up with the girls and making my new room all pretty (i'll post some photos soon!) so I just haven't got round to doing it! BUT a few weeks ago I was grabbing the train home and I really fancied a little read for the journey, I would usually go for Vogue or ELLE but I saw this cute little copy of COMPANY magazine for just a pound, and Fearne Cotton was the cover girl so I couldn't resist! Once I got on the train I realised that the magazine was a special Fashion Graduate Special, where a group of 'fash-grads' has been given total control of this edition of the magazine. Being a fashion student myself, this obviously caught my attention so I dug right in and read it from cover to cover. I absolutely loved the layout and style of the magazine, with the use of mood boards and different fonts! It reminded me a little bit of a working sketchbook and I really liked it! In fact it has given me a lot of inspiration for my own future work, as I was thinking about working a lot more on the computer this year for my sketchbook to create a  different style of sketchbook to what I am used to. Not only was the image of the whole thing great, the content was also really good, I especially loved the interview with Fearne Cotton as I am a hugeee fan! So well done to the Fashion Graduates who took over the magazine, you did a great job if you ask me, I hope this becomes a regular thing as I would definitely buy it again! Has anyone else read the new edition? What did you think!? xxxx

I NEED THESE SHOES IN MY LIFE!!!

Love the illustrations

even the spine design is cute! 

mmm good enough to eat

How incredible is this!? A dress made completely out of gummy bears! It may have taken 50,000 gummy bears, three weeks and a painstaking task of glueing them on by hand but I definitely think it was worth it because this is an amazing tribute to the late Alexander Mcqueen and one of his original pieces. It was created by Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi for TWELV magazine's debut issue and it ended up weighing around 220 pounds and took three adults to move it! This is a great example of why I love fashion...because anything is possible! A gummy bear dress, what will they think of next? Does anyone else know of any crazy fashion creations?  xxx
