Adoring Charlotte Dellal

So what do you get when you mix a cat obsession, a penchant for 1940s glamour, and design brilliance all in one person? You get my soul mate, Charlotte Dellal! Her shoe brand, Charlotte Olympia, is known for it's elegant and retro inspired designs that always have a touch of quirkiness about them. I've had a girl crush on Ms. Dellal ever since I read about her chic and sweet wedding in an issue of Vogue. A dear friend of hers (who just happens to be one of my favorite designers ever), Giambattista Valli, made her show-stopping wedding gown and this was the moment when I decided her life may well be my dream future.






Loving her kitty cat hat!










Another reason for featuring this idol of mine is because I came across these too cute Kitty flats from Charlotte Olympia and I love them! I wish they weren't so expensive, but a girl can still swoon...

I came across this photo shoot that Nick Knight did for i-d magazine and fell completely in love with it. I love the edgy fashion, the thigh highs, the queen herself, Kate Moss. Goth glam is also something that is really trendy right now and something that I definitely like. It's sexy but not in a very typical way.

Patterns Patterns Patterns!!!

My computer survey teacher said that we could basically do whatever we wanted for our final as long as we used the software extensively. So of course my natural reaction is to go crazy and make about a million patterns and not sleep for days, but they don't say SCAD stands for "Sleep Comes After Death" for nothing. Anyways, it was ridiculously fun and I'm really happy I learned how to do this because it's something I've been wanting to play with since forever. The end results were almost exactly as I imagined. I wanted to employ images that I had taken and warp them into otherworldly and, in some cases, almost unrecognizable forms. I CANNOT wait to print these onto fabric and make them into garments. Fingers crossed I get some Christmas money to do so!
