A one lady fashion catalogue

Ok. I'm not sure where to start, when I started my blog I had intended (or at least imagined) it to be full of graphic design (of the print variety), but as I sit here and contemplate my previous post trends, it would seem I'm far more interested in fashion that what I had thought. Thankfully not to the point of excluding all other disciplines of graphic/visual design. It's rather enlightening to see the things I've found visually appealing through the time I've been posting here. I blame Gary of SprayGlue for my subtle shift towards fashion.
Anyway. This post is actually about a miss Liebemarlene Vintage. I came across her Flickr page whilst browsing the net for fashion reference for work, and OMF is her sense style good. The pictures are awesome too. So far as i can gather (I'm not one for research), she buys her clothes at thrift/antique stores, then sells them on via Ebay.

[Coincidentally the sunglasses she's wearing remind me of my beautiful girlfriend]

Etsy of the Week, Kirstenlovesdinner

I've been faffing around on Threadless.com the last couple of days, trying to get some decent feedback on designs I submitted. Thats where I came across Kirstenlovesdinner.

So from there I found her Blog and her Etsy shop. What is it with all these industrious girls doing so much great crafting. Haha. Her stuff is brilliant. She tends to use bulky crocheted items with fine lace, and the overall look is flippin cool (although me being a guy, I'd never actually wear them).
Another great designer, with a great blog and great Etsy shop, well worth a look. Also you can she her Flickr page here.

Konkord retro t-shirt prints

I'm not sure what inspired it, I was browsing ffffound, and had the sudden urge to do these rough t-shirt designs (I think I saw something with a similar font). I quite like them. Check more stuff out at my Flickr page.

Cool Boots

Very cool boots, I wonder if there are guys versions. They're kinda halfway between wellingtons (Gumboots), and a pair of Allstar Hightops. Ali took the picture whilst at a photography class, and the photos are just about as cool as the boots.

Jiten Ramlal photography

Here are some flipping great pictures of Holmes Brothers clothing, by photographer friend of mine Jiten Ramlal. Using local model Klaudia Dedekind. Some great pics. I'll link to his flickr page as soon as its up and running.

Finally my degree show is done and dusted (If you keen to see the 3rd and 4th year Graphic design exhibit, its on the 8th of November (Durban), let me know and I'll email you an invite)
So I can get back to blogging. Oh and thanks to everyone who wished me well/luck :)

Hard Edge? Fashion & Photography

Ok, first off I appologise for the vagueness of this post, but these guys (Sunday Workshop, unappreciated.scholar) are super busy, and I'll get all the proper info (maybe and interview, if I get a chance) when its possible.

Anyway, I came across their blog Sunday Workshop, and apart from the pictures being really cool (I couldn't believe most/if not all are from my home town Durban,RSA), but the fashion is also really cool. Its definitely more Haute Couture than fashion, "Hard Edge" as they put it, but cool none the less. As soon as i glean more info out of them, I'll post it.
I'm hoping they'll be interested in being featured as the fashion component in a magazine I'm working on at the moment (but thats still in the wings).
