Frieze Recap: Acne Studio, The Underwear Memos
20 October 2014
Last week, London was utterly buzzing with arty action, party after party has resulted in a very burnt out Stalker by today! On Wednesday I popped along to Acne Studios on Dover Street to the launch party of their funky (with a capital F) new underwear line and to celebrate these, their Underwear Memos series.
The series not only showcases the new products,
but also reflects the Swedish brand’s tongue-in-cheek humour and minimalist
aesthetic in a way that will make you smile, even if you’re not sure exactly
what’s going on. Watch the entire series at Acne’s YouTube page and shop
the collection here.
Back To Basic Stalking: Brittany
17 October 2014
I met the beautiful Brittany a while back and with her very cool rock chick style and numerous tattoos she was a must stalk!! Brittany used to work for Rolling Stone magazine before arriving in London and settling in PR. I quizzed her on her awesome style over coffee and cupcakes in Exmouth Market.
How would you describe
your personal style?
My personal style is very heavily influenced from places where I have lived. I
am from New York, but spent a few years in California, so I would have to say
it is very unselfconsciously laid with a splash of 90’s/bohemian
influence.
Stalked: Benedetta, Jewellery Designer, Dubini.
15 October 2014
They say that love at first sight is only for fairy tales and love stories but beg to differ! On the grounds of the reaction I had to a ring by DUBINI called the Alexander The Great ring! The ring is made up of a silver coin featured in a ring worn by Alexander the Great, the coins are antique and completely unique; in result each ring looks different! I caught up with the designer Benedetta Dubini, a Central Saint Martins graduate who originates from Italy.
What made you decide you wanted to be a jewellery designer? And what do you love about your job?
I’ve always been fascinated by jewellery, but I believe that from the moment I got my acceptance letter from Central Saint Martins I started approaching it in a different manner. I saw the potential there to turn what I loved into a career.
I love the deep relationship that is formed between the wearer and its jewellery. How an item of adornment even in its simplest form becomes a marker of social or personal status. If you analyse what people are wearing it can tell you so much about what their life is about. Are they married? Do they travel? Are they religious?
Campaign Stalking: Jigsaw
14 October 2014
Hats off to the bridge level brand, what a campaign!
If you are a Londoner then you may have noticed these all around the tubes and billboards - the brand hit it in a big way with broadcasting it's new image, less is more!
The concept:
“One minute fashion tells us to wear this, the next to wear
that. If we followed every fad and trend, we'd get lost in the tangle. This campaign
is about straightening things out. It's about Style & Truth. Fashion may
say 'wear green' but if red is your colour, wear red. Yes, Polka dots may be
in, but if you like that check coat, buy it.
The concept came about because of the dynamic between the
voice of fashion, and these confident, empowered women who had listened to
their own voice instead, and wore what they wanted to wear. It created a
simple, striking set of images that both showcased the clothes, and an
attitude.”
