The Wanderer

A beautiful tribute

Alexander McQueen + Bjork + Nick Knight = a few of my favourite things.  Enjoy.


Tribute to Alexander McQueen by Nick Knight, music by Björk from SHOWstudio on Vimeo.

Aldo Lanzini's beautifully crazyily mad looking crochet masks most recently made an appearance at Missoni's Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show when the 30 ushers wore them to seat people. While the riotous colors and fantastical faces make compliment the Italian label's renowned knitwear well, their bold expressions and strange forms of the maskes are a spectacle of their own. His work is diverse and his website is very honest and inspiring, it  definitely pays to be different...

Jaeger v Julie

JAEGER has recruited the artistic talents of Julie Verhoeven to create an exclusive illustration to be displayed in its soon-to-be opened Boutique by Jaeger pop-up store.

Verhoeven's new artwork will be used as the wallpaper for the store and in many of the label's shop windows. Elements of the illustration will also feature in a three dimensional form - as standees and hanging mobiles.

The Boutique by Jaeger store will open on Foubert's Place, off Carnaby St on August 7.

Masked Ball

The Masked Ball has snuck up on us this year and us shapes are in a dilema about what to wear; 3 days to go and still no outfit in sight! We've been having a look on the net for inspiration....

Vice Style

VICE has just launched Vicestyle.com (with the help of my friend Dylan) their new online fashion and lifestyle platform that features fashion shoots, videos and exclusive insights into the back rooms of fashions makers and creators. With 30 connected editorial departments from all over the world you'll get daily news directly from the scene. As you might already expect from VICE the coverage is not only restricted to the major fashion cities but also shows scenes and currents away from the popular fashion consensus.

The website will also feature exclusive stuff by well-known figures of the international fashion scene like Terry Richardson, Ryan McGinley, Chloe Sevigny or Gavin Watson.

There's some lush photography and videos, a definite go to for a sharp, inspiring take on fashion...

Black and White

If all else fails, black and white is always a winner...

The Enchanted Palace

There's a new exhibition at Kensington Palace called 'Enchanted Palace' due to open this weekend which is sure to be a spectacular delight.....

Enchanted Palace is set in the State Apartments of Kensington Palace, where designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Steven Jones, Boudicca and William Tempest have collaborated with theatre company WILDWORKS (from West Cornwall), to create installations that combine modern design with historical artifacts. From forest scenes bathed in eerie blue light, to papier-mache animals and a cabinet of curiosities, the exhibition is hauntingly atmospheric and thoroughly immersive. Whispered voices follow you from room to room and a group of costumed characters wander through the exhibition, making the experience even more surreal

The exhibition exposes the secrets of the Royal Court, through the intertwining narratives of each themed room. This isn't your average historical exhibition, though - the information is implied, rather than explicit.

So if you are in the area, you should check it out...

The Enchanted Palace opens 26 March 2010 at Kensington Palace and runs until June 2012. For information on opening hours and ticket prices, please visit www.hrp.org.uk/kensingtonpalace. Supported by the Members of Historic Royal Palaces.

Good ol' grandad

Grandad cardigans are becoming a staple in my wardobe, I love them, in fact my gran is about to knit me a new one.

Love from Emma Eco chic at People Tree

Well well...so in all honesty it was hard to believe the jump Emma Watson made from being the Harry Potter star to a style icon.  As if being the face of the Autumn Winter Burberry campaign wasn't enough she is now turning her hand at designing with a new range at People Tree...and she looks, well amazing!  Not so sure on the clothes though.  Its as if shes just taken her favorite things and gone, copy that. But all that aside its a great way of getting her market into ethically produced clothing :) Clever People Tree!

Purple Fashion Magazine

Purple is my favourite colour, even more so when it comes in the form of a french fashion art and culture magazine...featuring photography by Terry Richardson and an artist book free with each issue, you can buy it online or at American Apparel. 

Oh Coco...

Being in Australia its hard not to notice how inspired the youth fashion market is by graphics combining traditional methods with digital imaging... So there's nothing nicer than when you come across an Illustrator who mixes both genres so effortlessly. Check out Coco , an Illustrator from Paris. Here at Shapes That Go we love her 'aim for restraint and minimalism', and especially her Forget-me-not boutique scarves

Wonderful Wonderland

You must go and see Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland, it is truly magical - especially in 3D!

It seems that its even influencing the fashion world...
