Fashion Interiors Wishlist – April 2012

  • There are a few different Alexander McQueen designs available, mostly with skulls on them, but this Hummingbird cushion by The Rug Company is our favourite – POA, from The Rug Company.
  • The Oxygene lamp from Armani Casa will fit into a variety of interiors – POA, from Armani Casa, Dubai Mall.
  • So you’ve got a few pieces from House of Holland with a similar design, why not bring the same print into your bedroom? This DVF Spotted Cat bed linen will not only brighten up any interior, but is on trend for 2012 – $250-$350 from DVF or Bloomingdales, Dubai Mall.
  • As always, we can’t resist a bit of Vivienne Westwood, and the VW Flag Rug, Mouth and Scribble Orb cushions are no exception. Add these pieces to a bland interior to infuse a bit of Cool Britannia punk – POA, from The Rug Company.
  • Fine bone china from Paul Smith by Thomas Goode – the collection includes a coffee jug, tea pot, and breakfast cup and saucer – perfect for an afternoon tea (or coffee) – collection prices start at $62, Coffee Jug $500, from Paul Smith.

Behind the Scenes at Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Spring/Summer 2012

Some fashion designers are just that, fashion designers, while others create works of art. Vivienne Westwood is undeniably one of the latter.

Describing her Gold Label Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Westwood cites three main influences;

“China, because I hope their traditional wisdom and experience from a culture going back to Confucius may help us to save the planet; the desert because of climate change; and 17th century corsets.”

You can vividly feel these influences come through in the beautiful ‘Behind the Scenes at Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Spring/Summer 2012’ video. Whether it’s the music, which was composed by sixteen year old Kyle Nash-Baker who performed live at the show, the fabulous cinematography, the collection itself, or a combination of all three, this three-minute video will give you tingles and is a work of art in its own right.
