In the Company of Wolves at the GFF

This Friday myself and Claire Stuart ran a fashion catwalk show for the Glasgow Film Festival. The catwalk ran after the film screener of 'Pyuupiru' a film about a Japanese performance artist.

The show went very well and we'd like to thank everyone involved.

RICARDO VILLALOBOS @ SENSU

Next Friday 4th March the Sub Club will be playing host to RICARDO VILLALOBOS. Needless to say the event sold out in record time. Unfortunately the wee Sub can't hold the 1000+ people that wanted tickets but for those lucky enough to get a ticket, this night is going to be very special.

FASHION MAVERICKS - OBSCURE COUTURE

Fashion Mavericks is an event which aims to showcase and introduce new & independent designers. This new exciting event takes place every season during London Fashion Week; one of the most busiest times of the fashion calendar. The event showcases the work of talented creative designers who offer fresh, new and independent designs and surely destined to take the world by storm.


This year, my friends Lyndsay Pagan and Jenn Celine Coyle of  'OBSCURE COUTURE ' were there showcasing their collection FLESH & BONE. Glasgow should be very proud of these girls, I can see very big things happening for them in the future.

The Obscure Couture collection will be showing at the 'Pyuupiru' fashion and film event this Friday at the CCA in Glasgow. 

TOPSHOP UNIQUE AW11

I'm so inspired by Topshop's SS 11 range for the next coming months. But I have to say I'm not that impressed with the AW 11 collection.

The collection was inspired by 1930's elegance and Disney's '101 Dalmations'. I do like some of the looks but I could do without the faux dalmatian fabric. Check these out from the 2011 AW show that was on this LFW.

Still undecided on the puppy dog hair styling! Thoughts?

Love the dalmation nails.

PYUUPIRU

This Friday myself and Claire Stuart's events company 'In the Company of Wolves' are producing a fashion catwalk show to help launch the film screening of 'Pyuupiru' at the Glasgow Film Festival.

Tickets have now sold out for the film and catwalk show but it is possible to get on the guestlist for the afterparty with guest DJ Pam Hogg. Just email events@glasgowfilm.org for your chance to gain access to this exclusive event.



Pyuupiru is one of the brightest stars of the Japanese art scene, renowned for eye-popping handmade costumes and being a work of art in her own right. Director Daishi Matsunaga is an old friend who has captured every moment of Pyuupiru’s rise to fame from first highheeled strut in the coolest clubs in Japan to cult status. The trust of friendship is behind an extraordinary documentary that provides a fascinating insight into the private life of Pyuupiru. Born a boy, she decided that that her true gender was female. The emotional and physical upheavals of becoming herself, finding love and seeking acceptance are all revealed in a fascinating portrait of an artist as both creator and creation.

Director: Daishi Matsunaga
Year: 2008
Running Time: 1h 33m
Country: Japan
Language: Japanese with subtitles

Watching Jeremy Scott's AW 2011 collection reminded me of just how crazy his style is. Remember what he did with Adidas last year?? Inspiring yes, wearable? Don't think I'll be rockin the pink teddies anytime soon.
