pinch me, this isn't real

Sat innocently in my lecture, when my tutor appears explaining how they have drawn out of a hat, three names from our class to go to Burberry Prorsum fashion show at London fashion week this year. Everybody perked up at hearing this.
It was one of them moments you think 'This is never going to happen to me' when i heard, 'Emily Wilson'.
Excuse me?!
What?
ME?
Yes, Me. I will be at Burberry Prorsum's fashion show on feb 23rd! An absolute dream, and a foot in the door.
Somebody slap me...this doesn't feel real.

it rains alot in scotland

Pringle video
An interesting and extremely weird take on Pringle's company values.
The Gerald the alcoholic and the dancing goat definitely beats any promotions I've ever seen.

Sales galore

Why do i even bother? I hate shopping on busy Saturdays. I hate the pushing and shoving.
So why did i even bother heading into Manchester on the most chaotic shopping day of the year!? I was asking myself this question all morning, as i got elbowed left right and centre around a topshop rail. I didn’t want it last season so why would i want it now? Walk away Emily, walk away.
I am in complete awe of a shopper with a great sale find. A piece that isn't from two years ago, is half price and an investment. This is an event that rarely happens, but have faith, it does! And for once, it happened to me.
French Connection, the only sale on the high street where i didn’t have to tackle through rails of 3 summers ago vest tops, whilst dodging two women squabbling over last season’s mini. I had the space to browse and undeniably enjoy a sale.
The half price New Years Eve dress from £120 is sale perfect.
I can’t wait to brag that i hit the January sales and succeeded in what every shopper dreams of doing, bagging that January sale item your proud of.
The only advice i give to anyone willing to trawl the January sales, is hit the designers! Yes you have to queue early but you’re getting quality, at high street prices.

i shall name my children michael and jackson

There are few people in life that you just naturally cant help to admire. For footballers this may be David Beckham, for actors Robert De Niro. But i do not think anybody can deny that Michael Jackson was the most influential singer, dancer and entertainer of all time.
To me Michael Jackson reminds me of my childhood, when i didn't quite realise how much of a king he was. Know not only am i older, but i realise how influential this entertainer was.
This man is able to quite literally take my breathe away, and leave me in utter awe. His stage presence, dance skills and singing talents are, to me, a very small part of the package. for me its the curiosity that engages me. his unusual lifestyle and childlike behaviour is what keep me enthralled.
I had tickets for the first night of his gruelling 'THIS IS IT' world tour. That was an opportunity of a life time that i will always be sad never came round. But to have the chance to see the rehearsal tapes has just fed my admiration of this talented man and left me even more fascinated.
The one thing with Michael Jackson is that you can never get bored of him. yes he sparks debate and controversy but that is what this celebrity gossip filled media is all about and who knew that better than the legendary pop icon himself.
I am not just a fan of Jacksons music and moves but of his character and fashion style. In the words of Hilary Alexander, 'Michael Jackson was a one-man band for fashion'. Even during tough rehearsal on the film 'THIS IS IT' it appeared he was making a return to fashion's front line wearing a crystal-trimmed tuxedo designed by the likes of Christophe Decarnin for Balmain which, with my over exaggerated shoulder obsession of late, i would die for.
Michael Jackson will always be an admired icon and inspiration to me, even if he was wearing women's togs.

neo-expressionism

Neo-expressionism is based on expressionism and developed in the 1980's.
A trend for Autumn/Winter 09 is 80's,a trend i really like because of its neon colours and exaggeration. And in honour of Marc Jacobs A/W 09 collection (which was my favourite) who recreated the 1980's artsy New York scene, i will choose my artist from this era.
Julian Schnabel

David Salle

expressionism

Expressionism is an art movement i had always heard of but never known of. So for my next project; to design a perfume packaging in the style of an artist for a perfume endorsed by a celebrity, i will research expressionist artists.
Wassily Kandinsky was a musician and displayed this in his work. he used the concept that colour and musical harmony link. i like his bright bold colours and the abstract objects put together on his images, that contrast but equally fit together well.
