LOVELESS

I really didn't want to have any reguritation on this blog, but i just read an article over at dazeddigital about a song called 'Loveless' by DAVID MOORE AND THE OARS and had to re-post something about it.

The artist described the song as a representation of "pining for a loved one but realising that maybe you're in love with a ghost, or an idea of something long gone." A quote relating to a mindset which everyone suffers, two close friends are at the moment finding it difficuilt to find any piece of mind because of lost love.

I couldn't think of anything more relevant to those friends than this, simplistic yet epic and obviously heartfilled song. listen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKs2QepeLVg

LONDON'S FORWARD THINKING FASHION IS FEELING BLUE

This photo was taken from houseoforganza.com, as my phone died on the day and left me camera-less.

HOUSE OF ORGANZA returns for their third season with 'Muse' where a team of hand picked creatives have made bespoke pieces, inspired by a poem recorded by fashion figure, My Roy, where he recites his own vision of the colour blue. His vocal response to his favorite hue of blue was itself inspired by Yves Klein and his concentration on the colour since his 'Proposte Monochrome, Epoca Blu' exhibition.

I was unaware about the HOG collective until i was working Ella Dror PR's press day where the collection debuted last week, initially confused more by Roy's poem which was playing on loop through blue headphones to the left of the set.

The projects curators are stylist Kim Howells and designer Lyall Hakaraia who bring together the talent, personality and inspiration of different disciplines to focus on interpreting one vision which could either result in something beautiful or disastrous but either way, exciting. Last season HOG produced a mythical looking gold collection inspired by the folklore surrounding Elizabeth I.

From left to right on the picture above, of this seasons collection, is Fred Butler's extravagant ruffles, Lyall Harkaraia's harness, Piers Atkinson (whom my interview with is on my last post)'s headpiece and Dr Noki's hood. The pieces come together and look suitably like performance art which Yves Klein was a pioneer of. 

A fashion film and exhibition is coming in Summer where My Roy will be modelling the clothes but until then the houseoforganza.com went live last week, here you can view a complete guide to HOG, its past collections and news.
