Bobo House

I recently was lucky enough to work with LA based designer Eloise Lapidus in styling the Fall/Winter 2013 look book for her collection Bobo House.

The wonderful Katrina Dickson took the pictures and our model, Eyren Powell, wore the heck out of the clothes.  A great team and such a fun day!

Here's a selection of my favourite shots.

What I'd wear to Oz

Actually I suppose if I were going to The Land of Oz there would be some red shoes in my bag but if I were headed Over The Rainbow as a witch (and therefore unable to wear the Ruby Slippers because some broad called Dorothy gets them) it's the Miu Miu FW13 collection I'd be shopping.

I've always been a fan of crazy tights and here's an eye-popping series of leg and footwear combo's that make my heart flutter.

The buttoned and zipped up formality of the black jackets and swishy dresses sits so perfectly against the girly neckerchieves at the top and the zinging legs and feet beneath. It's quite fantastic and fantastical.

No Saint Laurent

If he's watching, from wherever he might be now, I don't know what Yves must be thinking.  Tom Ford's collection was more Yves Saint Laurent than Hedi Slimane's latest offering for The House.  One can only think that he dropped the Yves upon starting his job there so that he wasn't exactly following in the maestro's footsteps.  Because he ain't.

At least last season they looked like rich California witches with a great jacket and a cool hat, this season they're spoilt rich LA girls who are in to grunge (because it's so retro) and huffing gas. Courtney Love did it better the first time around and she was strung out.
