Three months ago, Little fashion Gallery launched an artistic and charitable operation in the name of the French charity “Tout Le Monde Chante Contre Le Cancer”. In partnership with Supereditions, LFG has brought together the most famous designers and people of the fashion world in order to promote this worthy cause. For this special partnership, the publishing house created a book entitled: “The Freaky King and Queen”. This book was sent to the designers and fashionistas with the goal of being personalised and illustrated – there was plenty of artistic license for these creative people to scribble, jot, and make wonderful collages… Amongst the many designers and bloggers to take part in this project were: Philip Lim, Antik Batik, Anne-Valérie Hash, Finger in the Nose, Le Mont St Michel, Maloles, Milk, Petit Bateau, Anorak Magazine, Graine de Princesse, Lili & the Funky Boys, Lucky Boy Sunday, Marina Vandel, Tatty Devine, Zef, Carton chic, Coq en Pâte, Hucklebones, Kidimo, Loppa, Marucho, Max & Lola, Mini Rodini, Soft Gallery, Tuss, Vivetta, Minor Details, Mark James… These unique pieces are works of art; they represent true little treasures of creativity! Whether it be the collages by Tuss or Hucklebones, the handmade patchworks by Petit Bateau or the chosen objects by Tatty Devine, there are plenty of different original ideas filling the pages of these books.

The auction is running until the the 21st of October, to view the auction click here, or to see the schedule click here.

Last Sunday we headed over to the Brixton Ritzy to see the Sylvain Chomet film ‘The Illusionist’. Being big fans of his 2003 film ‘The Triplets of Belleville‘  (Belleville Rendez-Vous) we were keen to see his latest creation. We weren’t disappointed, as we sat through the 90 minutes of nearly no narrative, we were happily captivated with the enchanting soundtrack and subtle quirky humour throughout. Beautifully illustrated, with a divine colour palette so typical of Chomet’s work. The characters have an incredible realness about them, not because of the way they are drawn but because their mannerisms are so cleverly descriptive, informing us constantly of how they are feeling or what they may be thinking.

The mood of the film is somewhat sombre as the struggling illusionist searches to find a captive audience. Set in the 1950′s when conventional entertainment is being pushed aside by vibrant rock bands and television, you are taken on a moving journey of hope and disillusionment. Despite this, the attention to detail and eloquent depiction of the characters left us full of wonder, fondly reflecting on Chomet’s breathtaking ability to bring to life an utterly convincing and often stark reflection of society.

The A/W 10 catwalks are punctuated with yellow accents. The Prada A/W 10 collection featured yellow highlights in their prints and Marc Jacobs even celebrated this fabulous colour with a head to to outfit! The Hucklebones ‘paperchain rabbit’ print is a playful take on this gorgeous seasonal colour and adds a bright touch to a winter wardrobe. Available in 2 styles, the placket dress and double collar blouse from the Hucklebones online shop.
