Panasonic is one funny cat... whenever she's in the house she's this fat purring ball of love, but the second she steps outside? She turns into a wild huntress!
Unfortunately I never seem to be with camera to capture her as she climbs through the back window from the yard into the house with an unfortunate victim in her little mouth, but here she is after dropping it in the front room for us! Isn't this guy massive??
Last night I made the trek down to Brixton, to meet up with my good friend Tom Houser. Despite having worked non-stop from 5am until my arrival at 6pm, Tom had found time to whip up a marvelous homemade chowder for us to nibble on while we went over his designs for the official RP/Encore lookbook/poster. The perfect remedy for all this wet weather we've been having in London!
Here are some images of posters he took inspiration from:
Growing up I collected those DK Eyewitness books etc... I fucking love the layout etc!
So, I really try to post mostly just original content on here, but at the moment I am down and out with a particularly vicious flu, so I couldn't help but to share this image from the guardian with 'yall:
Ok, so after finding the amazing dragonfly on my way to the studio, imagine my surprise when I received this from my good friend Tom. Now, I have a few incredible Toms in my life... Tom Houser (photographer and general go-to man about town), Thomas Williams (Owner of Mrs. Chips(!), RP/Encore's right hand man for getting shit done and constant provider of amazing meals)... the list goes on. The Tom I'm writing about today is Tom De Poortere: disgustingly talented womens wear designer for Belgian brand Essentiel.
Last time Tom was over for the launch of the PARK collection, we had a look through his latest work for Essentiel, and I practically died!!
HOT!
I love these look book photos--- so many beautiful bits that can be dressed up or down, made edgy or feminine--- but most of all I couldn't believe the amazing GOLD TROUSERS! Cut perfectly with an amazing drape to them, Tom said he'd had trouble convincing some people at Essentiel that anyone would be ballsy enough to wear these beauts!
Well, thankfully they made the final cut, because what should I find in this thoughtful package from Mr. Man?
You guessed it... my very own pair of totally outrageous and unbelievably amazing gold trousers!!!
I am thrilled to bits. I refuse to take them off.
THEN --- Never being one to be limit his skills to mad fashion design --- Tom also included one of his famous mix cds!! Tom is also an in demand dj in Antwerp, so when he sends a mix-cd (which is something he does... personally designed cd artwork and jacket always included!) you know you're in for a treat.
