--EMMA WATSON FOR BURBERRY S/S '10--

LOOVE HER!! And her brother, who features along with her. Nothing like keeping it in the family eh? And that really buff model she gets to drape herself all over, whose name I don't have time to research right now.

Oh-also an arty video here. Thats all for the moment as exams have started...i.e. crunch time.

--FASHION A TO Z: A (ACCORDION PLEAT)--

For christmas I received 'Fashion A to Z', a dictionary of fashion terminology by Alex Newman and Zakee Shariff. In an attempt to educate myself more about the complexities of the industry I spend such a large amount of time researching etc, here are a select few terms which aren't completely obsolete today (and there's a surprising number of 'em in there).

Accordion pleat-a narrow pleat that, when used in series, resembles the bellows of an accordion, hence the name. Also called 'sunburst pleat'.

(google.com-I couldn't be bothered to browse all of the s/s '10 collections to find pleats, so I just picked some random stuff from whenever)

--BUNCHES--

I hate how my hair would have been perfect for this a year ago, and then I went and cut loads of it off.

Remember when I wrote about these?

--CECIL BEATON--

Because it's almost time to go back to school, I am naturally spending a large amount of time procrastinating instead of working...so I unearthed a few coffee table photo books and found some images I liked. These are all from a book accompanying a Cecil Beaton exhibition from way back when, before I was born probably! They're stunning. I love how his photos stretch from an Irving Penn-style simplicity to a Tim Walker-level of colour and general extravaganza.

This one reminds me so much of Annie Leibovitz's Alice in Wonderland shoot with Natalia Vodianova for US Vogue.

The Misanthrope

I was lucky enough to see David Crimp's adaptation of Moliere's The Misanthrop the other night, with Keira Knightley and Damian Lewis. Wow-it was amazing! I was slightly sceptical about Keira Knightley due to some of the reviews I read, but she was wonderful (and SO beautiful!). As were her clothes-Chanel was a sponsor and so there were Chanel bags and shoes all over the set! Anyway, it was a great production-I would recommend it but I hear all the tickets are gone...shame...
