The Rip

Jeffrey Campbell VS Celine
So here we are again Jeffrey Campbell VS ...
If you are as big a Celine fan as me then you will have been following Tommy Ton's latest 'Philophiles' over at the Jak&Jil blog. Absolutely stunning images showcasing the sheer range of Philo's incredible work. With this recent outbreak of Celine fever, everyone and anyone wants a piece of that look.
So, here we have it.
I have hunted high and low to find the Celine platforms online but have exhausted all options.
Jeffrey Campbell Shoes can be found over at Karmaloop
Stephanie from greytheblog has just bought a pair of the JC's and they do look pretty damn good.
I'll let you make up your minds.

Out of this world

At London Fashion Week I discovered the works of Atalanta Weller.
These insane sculptural pieces are the work of an english eccentric.
The 28 year old is originally from Gloucestershire. After studying a foundation course in Cheltenham, she did her BA in footwear at Cordwainers College.
“Shoes are like small sculptural buildings in their own right. I just love the challenge, the technical restrains of footwear. And I enjoy the materials - conventional leather or unconventional wood, plastic and polystyrene!”
Atalanta has been working with Henry Holland since his first runway collection and Gareth Pugh
for one show, shrink wrapping the shoes before they went out onto the catwalk.
Resemblance?

She also has some much more wearable pieces that were also on show at lfw. Got to get my hands on those wedges!
I also stumbled across the work of Gabriella Marina Gonzalez. She designs garments as well as making out of this world accessories. I couldn't find a website for her but she does have a blog.

Love her illustrations!
You can buy Gabriella's work at Digitaria, London.
