Apparently becuase the long ears help them sniff out what’s been shot on the hunt. In the studio today making stuff for our AW12 lookbook shoot tomorrow and doing pretty much anything to avoid financial forecasting which is why we’re really supposed to be her. It’s Sunday, give us a break.
So whilst googling such matters as above we stumbled upon this….
We stand on our dogs all the time but we never apologise. Maybe this explains why my dog has an eating disorder and problems with posession.
So as some of you are probably aware we’ve been running two labels, an online store and a blog from the beginning. We showed TWO WEEKS in a showroom in Paris back in October and it’s now stocked in several concept stores and high end boutiques internationally. TWO WEEKS was always Remade’s more avant garde older sister. The label is getting lots of call-ins at the moment with the plastica and dip dyed hair-pieces getting the most attention.
We’ve decided to take a sabbatical for AW12 so we won’t be showing anything on this label in Feb. We need to catch up with ourselves and give our main line the attention we need to become a proper global brand. Everything has grown really quickly, really organically and in order to give everything the chance it deserves we needed to re-focus for this season, do everything properly and give ourselves time to grow both as designers and business people.
I wanted to shoot a Lookbook out of our standard bleak warehouse settings and yellow just seemed like a good colour to bring the bright to the collection. The collection was inspired by luxe-sports future-mermaids and we use dip-dyed hair, white leather, opalite and hematite pyramids, swarovski crystal orbs, mesh, liquid jersey, lycra and mesh. In case you were wondering what SS12 Looked like, here it is…
Prodcued by Major Lazer’s Switch and Buraka Som sistema this tune’s a heady mix of signature afro-beats and saturated tropical samples. Infused with elements of M I A, it’s my favorite Santigold track so far and the videos nay to bad neither. This comes ahead of her soon-to-be-released album Master of My Make-Believe. If you sign up on the Lady’s websiteyou can download it for free.
French stylist, editor and photographer Carlyne Serf De Dudzeele is fast becoming a favorite. Not only did she style the Queen of Hip-hop shoot in the current issue of V Magazine, she also styled the shoot on my last post on Japanese Vogue.
Kath and Sora are in China at the moment. They keep asking me what I’d like them to bring me back. They’ve got me a surprise. I hate surprises. I’m hoping for a bit of airport mag swag though cause this is what I have to look forward to….Check out the HOOPS!
…and now they’re doing GIFS. Might go round and bang on the door.

Been rubbish at writing this blog recently which is made even more blaringly obvious by the fact that I chose to do a big new years countdown on the post below. My all time contemporary favorite Givenchy’s just released their Lookbook for Pre Fall AW12 and there’s more elements of wow than I have time to write about. To be honest I wasn’t totally sold on their SS12. I felt it veered a little too minimalist. Yep, get the whole surfers and mermaids, sea theme but I love Givenchy for the shiny, sharp digital prints layered back with super slick tailoring and a nod to the streets. I may have to kill someone for those boots and that dog sweater.
