David Bowie @ V&A

So yesterday I finally visited the Bowie exhibition, which I was eagerly anticipating.
After digesting the experience the overall taste left behind was not so sweet.
As a long time Bowie follower most of the images and displays I had seen before.The clothes ,( which should have been my goose bump moment) didn't do it either as most of them were replicas and scattered into different sections of the exhibition loosing the feel of the impact.
The idolisation and overload of one persons achievements in life were overwhelming in the displays, not to forget that he is very fortunate human being able to follow what he loves. There is so many talented people in this world but unfortunately not with the same possibilities and fortunate omens. A tissue of DB with smeared lipstick put in a glass box added to the uneasiness I started to feel about the whole thing.
The amount of money put into this exhibition all the great things it could have been used for helping others…..I wonder what Mr.Bowie thought when he wondered around yes he is great but let's keep it real….amen

Resonate


Whilst waiting for the SS14 Samples to get finished I have been taking lots of photos …oh I wish I knew how to technically, but I don't. What I can do is find things which resonate something in me…..

CHALK

My idea at the start of Nixie Clothing was that the label would grow with my children.
Ivy is a teenager now and I have been designing clothes for the last 10 years time for some more fun now....and to spread those creative wings.....

So Felicity Lynch and myself have joined forces and created an online magazine for teens.
It is still in very early stages, but we are both excited about this project and getting lots of talented and inspiring people involved.





So please come and join our journey...

Exhibition - Eyes as big as plates

A friend posted a link to this, which I find moving, inspiring and had to share it ...
Love the connection with age and nature. The organic materials surrounding the lovely faces. 
The return of the body to nature, the circle of life. 
Finnish photographer Riitta Ikonen and Norwegian photographer Karoline are showing this series 
Eyes as Big as Plates  Recess in Red Hook in Brooklyn through April 26, 2013.
