The magic of SnOw

There is something so magical after a heavy snowfall everything goes quiet. There is something in the air which I find hard to describe like a sigh of relief.

This is how I found my daughter this morning.

For over an hour was she lying there taking it all in 

 

while the other nearly teenager was fast asleep

We spent an afternoon browsing through the Liberty London Sale & came across a wonderful printed skirt suit by French brand Carven (currently one of our favourite women's wear designers) from their SS13 collection. The adorable print referenced the vintage 'souvenir scarves' from the '50's & '60's that we are so very fond of & made much use of in our SS12 collection.

A wonderful autumn

Autumnal colours are a great inspiration. The beauty of decay is breathtaking even more so when we are blessed with amazing blue skies and golden sunshine.

✭Fashionable childhood. Children in fashion advertising✭

We went along to the truly imposing new Central St. Martins Campus in King's Cross last night to hear a talk given by visiting research fellow Annamari Vanska. 

The Grade II Granary Building itself is a marvel of Victorian steel and brickwork married with the lightweight materials of the modern age. Image via Central St. Martins Blog.

Annamari is a scholar of visual culture and has recently published a book based on her research; principally into the publication Vogue Bambini. The magazine was first published in 1974 and she used the entire back catalogue as the main focus for her exploration of the visual discourse of childhood.

Annamari's insights into the grand narrative of childhood innocence being visualised and commodified by the fashion and advertising industry were fascinating, they gave us much food for thought and will definitely inform the way we read the visual signifiers present in the images we look at and create.
