She sells sanctuary!

The fashion set's love affair with, some might say, the exploitation of religion and religious imagery, never fails to create thought provoking, debate evoking designs and styling that could either be viewed as crass or courageous!

I would argue that with a cultural system that has been exploiting it's followers the world over, for thousands of years, they may be due a little payback!

I love religious artwork and I think it translates perfectly to fashion, creating images and art direction that never fails to stir emotion.

Uncomfortable? Incredible? Take a look at these and decide......

What is the Surreal Woman? Here's my interpretation! To check out a delectable treasure trove of surrealist trinkets with a twist of the female about them, make sure you check out the inspirational concept store, Guts for Garters, at the Cob Gallery in Camden.

The launch date for the latest theme is the 16th of June. In the meantime, check out gutsforgarters.com

Big Love!

After being away for so long my list of "wants," "loves," and "got to have nows," have steadily grown to quite a substantial set.

And unfortunately after I decided that my loan was destined to be squandered on only a measly portion of the treasures that I want, these beauts are still confined to my "To buy," list......
