A couple of weeks ago I was asked to do some rogue modeling for an LCF collaboration project between designer and photographer, Jessica and Isabella.
Each shot was taken by about 5 different film cameras from basic to old school polaroid. The results are pretty amazing! Nothing beats the mood you get with film.
Helen Furber graduated this year from the London College of Fashion with a BA (hons) in Footwear Product Design and Development. After work experience with talented designers Y-3/SLVR Adidas and Nicholas Kirkwood, her final collection called Euphemia aims to redefine the footwear product life-cycle.
The 'Icica' wedge you see above demonstrates this concept with glueless construction and reconsidered materials.
I just love the idea of being able to take this shoe apart, play around with it, put it back together and feel as if I have a bigger part to play than simply putting them on.
The sleek, eye catching design really draws you in and then you start to look inside the clear wedge and your mind boggles on a whole other level. I was always attracted to the clear plastic gameboys, because you could see all the micro chips and get a glimpse of what's inside, when you look inside this wedge it's like looking into a cave a crystalised stalactites.
It seems to me that Helen's only just started on a very long and ambitious design career, I can't wait to see what she does next.

More inspiration from this years graduates, this time around it's LCF. (See how on the ball i'm being, preparing myself for GFW in 2 days) I have to say it wasn't as easy for me to find favourites with the LCF crowd, however this selection shone through for me. Beautiful neutral tones and silhouettes. Yelena Loguiiko and Jade Jung Sun Kim were my absolute faves. Yelena in particular blew me away with her range of fluffy textures hats and jackets contrasted with beautiful pastel shorts and tops.
