I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

This is the best bit really, of blogging I mean. Invitations to lush events and goodies in Fed-ex envelops… yes, it’s all very nice and feeds the gluttony plump but if I can’t even find time to do DIY tutorials in hope that you, readers, don’t leave empty handed, then I want to shove amazing talent like this in your pocket before you go. I haven’t necessarily unearthed Flik Hall – evidently she’s been at large since AW10 – but then again I live under a rock (shaped like a duvet). Her studio in Hackney Wick was foamclad, both on the singlepane windows and her AW11 collection – first seemed to me as an alternative punk reference, it turns out the philosophy of her designs ran deeper than simple textural bling.

“The Ghost in the Machine” ideas initially transpired from looking into the realms of free will and the bonds of fate. It came down to the conflicts as to whether we have true control over ourselves, are we every completely free? “The past controls the present and

future. You can’t control the past. Also you can’t control the way the past controls the present and future” So, you can’t control the present and future.

The prints in the collection illustrate what it might be for another being or a mass is looking birds eye into our world – so the foam represented rooftops of houses, both man made and mass produced. My favourite bit probably was the pattern on the black skirt – she called it the ‘Skyscraper’ skirt, meaning that the glossy square print was the tops of buildings. It’s so clever I’m gonna die.

    Ahh, one of the comments above tells me that the big necklace-thing on one of the pictures is made of dolls arms… I have to say that I first thought they were sausages, but then I looked closer and it looked like…. weird penises :S But dolls arms, absolutely, I see it now ;)
    Beautiful pieces though!

  15. Holy moly. These pieces are gorgeous! The blue dress in the very bottom left is a total dream, as is the pinkish with the cutouts in the middle in the SS11 row above. I checked out the website and am even more in love now. I can just picture Daphne Guinness in the spiked collars!

  21. Although I essentially don’t agree that our past controls our future (just because I’m one of those people that believes our PRESENT, the way we think/talk/act/etc RIGHT NOW, controls our future lol), this collection ROCKS nevertheless!
