Lula Issue Nine
Nov 01.09 / Fashion, Photographs
I bought a copy of Lula about two weeks ago and I was so excited to get it in the post, however as you can see, the postman/woman busted the spine whilst trying to get it through the postbox which sucks.
They appear to have a habit of doing this to our post. My friend managed to purchase a book that is no longer being published, so are quite hard to find/expensive and the spine got damaged on that too. Boooo.
Anyway, it’s absolutely beautiful. If you’re interested, you can find scans at The Fashion Spot.
A collection of pleasant things…

1. The ‘Londoners Through a Lens’ photo exhibition at the Getty Images Gallery in London will be exhibiting from the 14th August, showing photographs throughout the past century.
2. This photo editorial from Teen Vogue is from last month, but I still can’t get over the styling and how pretty Emma Watson is!
3. Illustrations by Sougwen Chung are absolutely beautiful. Her drawings section is also nice to look at too.
4. Tord Boontje jewellery from Artecnica. If you’re not familiar with Tord Boontje, I recommend you take a look at his website.
5. Martin Wilson creates large images from the strips laid out on the contact sheet. Each frame is taken specifically in the right order, so one mistake and he starts again!
6. Littlepixel at Flickr has a great set dedicated to classic record sleeves in the style of Pelican books.
7. How awesome are these vintage Coca Cola cans? See more at Inspiredology.com
8. The Uniform Project is a year long fundraising idea for the Akanksha Foundation by Sheena Matheiken. She has ‘pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion’.
9. Jr.Canest has some pretty good film and animation work at Vimeo. I like ‘A Walk Around Vancouver’ and Crazy Enough – Title Sequence in particular. The first one reminds me of the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is my favourite film of all time!
10. A brilliant stop motion music video involving a lot of chalk, for the Firekites song Autumn Story by Lucinda Schreiber and Yanni Kronenberg.
Annie Leibovitz, Alice in Wonderland Editorial
Jun 16.09 / Fashion, Inspire, Photographs
Carrying on with the love for fairy tale themes, I came across this Alice and Wonderland editorial shoot by Annie Leibovitz yesterday for Vogue in 2005. The story has always been one of my childhood favourites, so I really like seeing photo interpretations by other people. I wouldn’t expect anything less than super from Annie Leibovitz anyway, she’s fantastic!
Manon Gignoux
How beautiful are these textiles pieces by French artist Manon Gignoux? Exploring the theme of ‘wear and tear’, this talented woman uses old fabrics and objects to create new and one of a kind pieces which I think are absolutely amazing.
