Tues 13th April: Hannah Marshall and her "Army of Me"





Hannah Marshall doesn't mess around.  Infact you can bet your bottom dollar that this girl will pull out all the stops to put on the best preview she can.  So it was no surprise that I received a personal invite to Shoreditch House to see her new collection "Army of Me".  She thought it would be a nice venue for her friends to visit and congregate to paw over her latest velveteen pantsuits.  CORRECT!  It is very rare that I find myself in the member's club so any excuse to get a glimpse at how the other half live is a definite draw!  Before I was even in the elevator I bumped into Jodie Harsh and Little Boots ..............apparently its half price dinner for under 27's on a Monday..........(that'll be me walking straight back out the same revolving door I walked in then!)
Back to the garms..............the Grace Jones inspired garms.  Hello!  You can see in Hannah's mood board above that she has referenced Jean Paul Goude's manipulated iconic imagery of Miss Jones to achieve her slashed and re-scaled silhouettes.  So funny that we both look to the same sources but end up with such opposite outcomes!  Who knows, perhaps one day the ying and yang will come together for a black .vs. colour collaboration............watch this space!  Until then, head over to Kim Howell's blog to look at catwalk and backstage photography of her LFW show by Alistair Guy............

(Hannah and Kim both wearing Hannah Martin spike rings from last season.........notice the Judy Blame knit-comb medallion on Kim too!......Amber and Nisha Broken Hearts wearing matching Melissa shoes, Rosy Nicholas with Fred Butler in her hair...........the accessory not me.........quite obviously...........that would just be ridiculous)
