DAS MAGAZIN

Photographer: Pier Luigi Maccor

This image needs an explanation:

Remember back in January when Selfridges awarded me the status of Bright Young Thing and gave me a window on Oxford Street to decorate for the month of January?

Well, if you were lucky enough to pass by Selfridges any time from the beginning of January until early March you would have also seen two windows filled with life size cardboard cut-outs of all 20 designers/jewellers/artists awarded the status of Bright Young Thing.

When it came time to clear the cut-outs from the windows, Selfridges got in touch, and a few of my friends insisted I pick mine up so they could decorate their houses with life-size 2D versions of yours truly. Well, when I was walking from the tube station to their house with my double me(s) the photo crew from DAS Magazin approached me to take a set of inpromptu photos for their weekly mag! How random is that?

Polyvore

DELIGHT IN TEMPTATION by isabellexo featuring dr martens boots

Excited to see some RP/Encore jewellery has made it's way on to Polyvore via my UK stockist Kabiri.

I have never used Polyvore myself, but it's cool to see the different ways that people think to wear my jewellery.

This one bellow is cool because they even included a bag by my friends Ilya and Resha (of Fleet Ilya)... they also hand make all of their work here in East London. Check out their website HERE.

GO TO CHURCH

Meet my first California stockist:

CHURCH BOUTIQUE

After carefully checking out every single shop boutique and gallery that was recommended to me in Los Angeles, I couldn't have found a better match!

Church isn't interested in trends or fads... their interests lie in beautifully executed "pieces"... quality over quantity.

Their gallery/store is an oasis of calm amidst the hectic hussle and bussle of Santa Monica Blvd. I could tell as soon as i pulled up in the car that this place was special. The building is covered in ivy and the smell of scented candles wafts through the door as you approach. They have done an amazing job on the interior and the selection of stock is something else.. There is a brilliant range of peices from designers such as McQueen through to Diederik Comte. Rodney and David's clarity of vision really shines through their careful selection of antiques, new artworks, jewellery and clothing.

If you are in Los Angeles SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE!

Los Angeles Natural History Museum

Last Friday I went to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum to take a peek at their taxidermy dioramas.




I used to love the diorama halls when I was a kid. They were so magical... like little portholes into these fascinating animal worlds.

Though I think a few of the cases could do with a spot of dusting and maintenance I must admit they are still pretty striking.



I love all of the little details they include in each display...



It was "First Fridays" when I was there so unfortunately I wasn't able to see everything (due to some talks and musical performances that were being held in certain wings) but I was able to get some good shots around the museum which you can access via my flickr account.
