CHARLIE MAY AT ONEDAYSHOP CONCEPT STORE

 This Saturday I'm very excited to have my work selling alongside fashion favourites James Long, Atalanta Weller and more at the ONEDAYSHOP concept pop up store, Dalston. It's your chance to get your hands on an exclusive designer selection of one off pieces or last chance to buy designer must haves. I will be selling a few one off catwalk pieces from my graduate collection, the full length suede double breasted dress and brushed cotton trousers you see above, as well as some bits from my S/S 12. As you can see I've been busy working in the studio! I look forward to seeing you all there at 10am, there will be complimentary bloody mary's for those of you who need it!

Prices will range from £25 to £400.

You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter!

REVISITING THE ABANDONED HOSPITAL

 You may remember my trip to the abandoned hospital 6 months ago, probably my favourite blog post to date. I was lucky enough to sneak in again - model, photographer and collection in tow, to shoot my S/S12 lookbook. It feels strange unearthing this, like a magician revealing their trick. I find behind the scenes so exciting but when it's behind my scenes it feels odd indeed. The pictures above were taken on my phone when we did the reccy around the hospital and then leading up to the shoot. Rain was running down the walls inside the room when we started shooting, as you can see throughout the lookbook, the wall gets dryer and dryer (love those details). I think it was the perfect setting for the lookbook, not just because it's one of my favourite places in London but also because some of the clothes have a medical feel about them, for example the white shirt with buckle and tie sides. It was a lot of fun shooting, I hope you all like the pictures!

Sorry to everyone who was hoping for a colourful look, the title was just for fun! Outfit worn on day 4 (I think) of London Fashion Week. I realised there were actually six days at LFW not five... confused. Anyway thank you to Refinery29 for the full body shot and to Jennine for the close up.

MARIA GRACHVOGEL SS12

Held in the ballroom of the Savoy hotel, Maria Grachvogel presented her Spring/Summer 2012 show yesterday. The fabrics were so luxurious, every garment was meant to move. The catwalk was a large square so there was a constant pounding of models and fabric following behind them. I loved all the white looks and the snakeskin trouser suit was pretty amazing. The shoes were a collaboration with Atalanta Weller, so chic! It's all about those snakeskin booties.
