Lizzy & Cecil

I love the Queen and I love Cecil Beaton, so I was thrilled when I saw the exhibition Queen Elsiabeth II by Cecil Beaton at the V&A. The coronation portrait above is just amazing. Go and see it and celebrate the Diamond Jubilee!

Paolo Roversi

In case you haven't seen it yet (I know some of you have), Paolo Roversi's amazingly beautiful fashion photographs are exhibited at the Wapping Project Bankside (next to Tate Modern) until the end of March. A must see! And a proof that fashion photography doesn't have to be crisp, highly stylized and digitally manipulated. Less is more, if you ask me.

UCA Talk

Thanks everyone who came for my talk a couple of weeks ago! I think Jonathan already posted something on the course blog, but here's some of the things I mentioned:

The YouTube video for Out of Fashion can be seen here and if you wanna know more about the project or see some pictures from the exhibitions, check out our Tumblr and Facebook. You can also always ask me, if you want to know more practical things about how to make an exhibition and/or publication happen, I'm happy to help you out.

My project, The Memory of My Wardrobe, can be seen on my webpage, along with other projects I've done during my stay at uni.

For anyone interested in ethical consuming and fashion, the book I recommended is called To Die For - Is Fashion Wearing Out the World, and it's written by Lucy Siegle.

Hope you're getting along well with your projects and enjoying your time at uni!
