Camo

With camouflage hitting the catwalks,

here's proof that the street is always one

step ahead. Even if these folks are not

fashion focused, they may just have

inspired a designer or two.

Whose to say?

Turbans

One of the most memorable experiences I

have had was one about ten years ago in

New Delhi.

I was staying in a small horrid backpacker

hotel in the old city.

I heard the sound of a procession coming

into the small narrow street at dusk.

Poking my head out of the small

non-air conditioned room into the muggy,

Indian night air, I saw a sea of multi-

coloured turbans. A Sikh festive occasion

had brought all of it's devotees out in all

their celebratory glory.

Hot pinks, deep vermilion, canary yellow,

lime, and vivid indigo all vying for

head space as they celebrated with

exuberance.

Cool Kids

Check out the amazingly cool energy of

these kids. I think their creativity and

self expression is inspiring.

We should all try and have the fresh outlook

that children have.

Let's paint with bright colours and

design with no preconceptions.

It is only as we over-think things as we get

older that our palettes get all murky (as

acknowledged in one of my favourite films;

'Six Degrees of Separation'

Kids have a way of just not complicating

things.

It's great to see the future is in good hands

with these lot!

Pendants and Chains

There is something going on with.......

chunky chains and pendants.

Homemade, dripping with jewels or..

maybe lo-fi, with a cassette...so retro cool.

There is no in and out when it comes to

jewellery these days.

It has to suit the wearer and hopefully lift

the mood of all who admire it.

My favourite double ended religious icon

chain I bought in Brazil years ago has

just snapped...gone to God...

oh well!

So in it's memory, here are some

admirable neck pieces
