Happy Sunday
Last Sunday was a fab fab fab fab fab day. I attended the engagement party of some friends which was held under a beautiful Keening Oak on a little hill in Hampstead Heath. The weather, the company, the nibbles, the drinks and the place were all perfect... I wish for many many Happy Sundays like these! Above an image of the spread the lovely couple set up for us.

Photograpy: Saga SigIn April this year I designed the costumes for a beautiful short period film called Lament. The writer and director of this film, Chi Yu found the image above on a blog and it became the starting point and inspiration for the story. This very moving and beautiful image is of the final collection of the very talented CSM fashion graduate, Sorcha O'Raghallaigh.
Below are some screen shots from the film. It was a real challenge for me to put together 6 wedding outfits and 5 funeral ones of that period with the budget provided, but I am quite happy with the result. I will be posting the trailer and telling you a little bit more about the filming and costumes very soon.

It has been more than a month since my last post, where have I been? Well I spent a month researching, designing and making the costumes for a music video. I was in charge of all 20 costumes/looks for the video and as you can imagine I was swamped with work. After the prep work came 4 filming days which again were busy but lots and lots of fun. The morning after we finished filming I was off to Spain to enjoy a long weekend home, went to a Spanish wedding, to the beach, watched the latest Woody Allen film, 'Midnight in Paris' and fell in love with Paris in the cinema and with Barcelona outside of it. On my second day back to work in London I came across the above image and nostalgia for my Spanish roots took over me, I have a love hate relationship with the country I must admit but now that I am away I am going to focus on the side I love: the colours, the traditions and the haphazard dress sense of people and the architecture of cities which more often than not is very kitsch. These images capture some of these aspects and remind me of the Feria de Abril which I went to in Barcelona a few years ago as well as the beautiful South of Spain.
