Le Basie (The Kiss)

Jasper Garvida AW11 at Vaxhall Fashion Scout
London Fashion Week

Effortless draping and peep hole 'key' prints gave us an insight into Jaspers more relaxed mood this season with a collection of refreshingly calm, oriental inspired minimalism.

Armour-like embellished gowns and accessories gave an edge to the unusually light story which was much less extravagant than previous seasons.

Jaspers hit his stride!


Thanks for the mention Jasper!!!!

London Fashion Week

MURRAY collaborated with the wonderful Falguni & Shane Peacock to create hats for their SS11 show this season.

This season I was delighted to work with the Peacock's and Fu-sion 360 to create hats to compliment the stunning SS11 collection.

Inspired by the plight of bees and tigers 'under the threat of extinction' the collection of trademark prints and beautifully intricate embellishments displayed elements from the structure and pattern of bees and tigers which was interwoven throughout the collection consisting of mostly body con dresses. The vibrant collection adorned with impeccably finished detailings made up of chains, digitally printed sequins, rivets and crystal studded leather, was contrasted with a harder bondage style body armour with a strong emphasis on shoulders and hips.
When creating the hats I was thinking about how beautiful Bees are and how we could end up in a world with out them and their beautiful honey! So I drew inspiration from the bee’s strengths and their protective army like nature. Concentrating on the ‘sting’ of the bee I wanted the wearer to feel fierce and powerful..

The fashion pack turned out for the star studded event. In from row were Matthew Zorpas, Jimmy Choo and Destiny’s Child Michelle Williams, Elle Editor Lorrain Candy, Abbey Clancy, and Miss India to name a few....


















Amongst the creative team were Supriya Nihal Singh Bedi and Mumtaz Suterwalla who make up Fu-sion 360 along with a top creative team including stylist Aradia Crocket, Make-up Artist Lisa Stokes and hair stylist Nick Williams along with star chopper James Brown and the E4 production team for the egarly awaited ‘Great British Hairdresser’...bring on the wrap party!!!!

for

Jasper Garvida Collection AW11

photographed by Magnus Arrevad

This season Julie-Ann created bespoke headwear inspired by Picasso to compliment the 1920's themed AW11 collection for Jasper Garvida at London Fashion Week.

The headpieces wear hand crafted from snippets of photography lighting and reflective film used in the media industry and cleverly pieced together to form a sharp collage in the style of 20th-century cubist arts Pablo Picasso. The pieces were then decorated with tiny circles in homage to the artist Kazimirir Malevich famous paining of 'The Black Circle'
