VICTORIA BECKHAM DENIM | STEPS FOR 2

I never thought I would be blogging about Victoria Beckham here but I enjoyed watching her  emotional acceptance speech at the British Fashion awards and how lovely is this animated short concieved by Quentin Jones and Another magazines fashion editor Agata Belcen for her spring/summer 2012 Denim collection.

The pair found a Fantastic starting point for inspiration in Jean Luc Goddard's film Bande Apart...you can't go wrong with a pinch of French New wave!

See Anna Karina's dance moves that inspired the animation here

KELIY ANDERSON-STALEY | ART

Imagined Family Heirlooms: An Archive of Inherited Fictions.

I stumbled across the artwork of Keliy Anderson-Staley whilst researching family heirlooms for a recent editorial project I am working on. It really struck a cord with me as I am slightly obssessed with peoples possessions and the stories they tell.
