Beyond Belief

Right, so I have found something that is possibly one of the most remarkable discoveries of my life. Jake Bugg. Learnt that name, download that music and be prepared to be completely gobsmacked. Something about me, thanks to my Father, is that I am ridiculously obsessed with music and pretty much all of its genres. My obsession with country and its great lyrical contents really has been something I have been listening to since I was in the womb so my country lists includes most of people like this: John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Iris Dement, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, John Denver to name a few of my favourites but this kinda makes me stuck in the past. However, I can happily announce that my obsession has just become current. This cat is 18. 18 years old. The amount of soul this guy has is so refreshing to see and with a voice that makes you want to cry this guy will be massive. He is playing in London's 100 Club on 31st May (get tickets here) and if you miss it, you miss out. It is as simple as that. Bloody hell, my faith, once again in the current music industry has been restored. So guys, please support guys like this because they are the people that deserve it the most. 

If You Go Chasing Rabbits

 Annie Leibovitz 

Vogue US December 2003

Model: Natalia Vodianova

Inspiration for our up and coming 'Alice in Wonderland' shoot. Think Alice- unconventional-on acid, slightly Tim Burton inspired, bright colours and eery feel. We found the most perfect location and insane props and gadgets to accompany. Various other moodboards to follow. Oh and of course, a song, one of the best written EVER in my opinion. Lyrically genius.

Heart Shaped Box

Grunge & Glory- US Vogue December 1992

Photographer: Steven Meisel

Stylist: Grace Coddington

So from an underground phenomena- Seattle Sound- starting in the late 1980s, to a worldwide fashion movement that would fill wardrobes and stereos with dirty riffs and dirty clothes. We hail the likes of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Nirvana. An 'anti fashion' movement that became fashion- funny how it works eh?! But I guess being not fashion, in itself, is fashion- now that is a thought to wrap your head around. What would my world me without this?!
