Halling the Knits

One thing that has been drummed into my head in my few days of vegging out in front of the hotel TV is how the nature of American seasons and the 'coming of fall' is really emphasised in seasonal advertising.  "We have great denim offers for fall."  "Fall is coming, better stock up on school supplies." etc. 

Not that we don't have 'Back to School' offers thrown at us in the UK but autumn as a season isn't really emphasised in the same way.  Like the sucker that I am for TV-brain washing, all this 'Fall' talk has me subliminally reaching out for knits, capes, boots and layers - all the things that I normally adopt for leaf crunching, most people's favourite thing to do during autumn/fall - even if the temperatures outside suggest otherwise.  I think I may have seen more than 50ml of sweat coming off a jogger's forehead the other day as he was trudling by.

This may explain why I picked out the chunkiest Jil Sander knitted top yesterday at the Barney's Warehouse sale and why I'm posting about this debut collection of knitwear by Amy Hall.  Yokoo does somewhat own the chunky knitwear game though I have a feeling she may be heading in a slightly unexpected direction as her hugely successful Etsy label probably starts becoming a bit of a mini empire.  Amy Hall is a self-taught knitwear designer who interned at Clare Tough for a bit and as now launched her mini collection of seven pieces that are made in the heart of Dalston and ready to buy straight away.  She's a slightly more expensive prospect that Yokoo's knits though her mix of yarns errs towards the use of silk and mohair and merino wool and her pieces are larger scale too featuring capes, schrugs that can be worn both ways that are heavily built up in texture. 

The names of the pieces - squirrel,discount coach bags, possum,outlet coach, fox,http://ubbrmt.blogspot.com/, mink, beaver, monkey and bunny - are of course animal references without going anyway near the actual animal.  I love that the faux take on animal fur which I saw as a bit of a mini-trend at the LCF BA shows has been taken up as a commercial prospect through Hall's collection.  It will be interesting to see whether Hall builds on top of these initial core designs or where she does seasonal collections like other London-based knitwear designers.  I'd like to see badger, stoat, hare and vole get added to the mix... anthing to recreate Animals of Farthing Wood of course...

Getting Steamy

>> When pretty and thoughtful lingerie designer Araks asked me to snap away for her A/W 11-12 lingerie lookbook that would also include contributions from her 'circle' (a very wide one at that...) of friends, I was most delighted.  Especially since it involved using a disposable camera,beats by dre kobe bryant, the sort where the flash looks like it might break at any moment and you get that pleasing sound when you turn the film advance wheel. 

At the time,Nike Air Max Griffey Mens, I was slightly limited with options as I had precisely three days to shoot Araks' pretty A/W 11-12 things which included a lovely maroon pyjama set, aa stripy top and shorts combo (left) and matching orange bra and knickers on my trip to Reykjavik in Iceland.  A trip to the Blue Lagoon partially saved the day as did cavorting around in our teensy hotel room trying to arrange lingerie in an interesting way amongst MDF furniture and questionable curtains.  In the end,discount coach handbags, the humble bath tub did the trick for laying out all my own orange bits and bobs (Prada furry thing, Wonderment leather collar) with Araks' orange bits and bobs to create an imaginary 'You've Been Tangoed' figure.  AKA my version of beach attire where layered lingerie and faux fur makes complete sense only to me.   

The rest of the lookbook can be seen on the Araks blog and consists of contributions from designer Richard Chai, model Coco Young, Kim Hastreiter of Paper Magazine and director Gia Coppola.

>> It's sample sale madness this weekend and I'm unfortunately not going to be here to revel in all the glorious messiness.  Still, given a choice between scoffing my face with Tim Ho Wan's amazing barbecue pork buns and lunging for gifts in a deluxe claw machine at Lane Crawford's XMas celebratory bonanza on a four day jaunt in Hong Kong or riffling through piles of EVERYTHING it seems in snowy London...hmmm... actually, that still is a toughie.  Nay,cheap coach handbags outlet, I'm not going to be indecisive about it.  Hong Kong it is.  Therefore, run readers towards those designer studios in deep dark East London and get merry and high on bargains...

(NOTE: Flyer is incorrect - there will be NO Carven at the sale - *BLUB BLUB*)

NOTE AGAIN: The Peter Jensen sale is NEXT weekend - read dates carefully!

Oh Chéri!

>> What are long haul flights good for other than itty bitty tubes of toothpaste and different shades of flight socks?  Catching up on the cack movies that you wouldn't pay £10 for (yes, it is THAT expensive to watch films in London...) nor would you think to download it online because that still requires an iota of effort. 

Chéri is one of those fluffy films that I watched on the way over to Philadelphia, whilst trying to digest whatever kind of mystery meat pasta the airline had just fed me.  Based on the novel by scandalous Parisian writer Colette, Stephen Frears has done his rompy period thing AGAIN laden with oh-so-witty (but not really...) one-liners with a stellar cast mostly used and abused by the odd scripting of this film and the less-than-subtle acting.  Still, in my post-gluttony of airplane food and hazy sleepy demeanour, even though Chéri is most definitely not a Frears best and at times, unintentionally clunky and funny... the beautiful cinematography, sets and costumes were a visual feast that is worth watching IF it's on your flight path.  Actually, watching it without the 'headsets' (why do airlines call them that when they're basically cheapie headphones...) was a far better experience and the pastel colours and sweeping curves of the Belle Epoque era depicted have thus been ingrained in my head ever since.  It wasn't so much the style of dress (though costume designer Consolata Boyle did a fantastic job - the costumes were displayed at the Ciné Lumière in London for a while in May) that was appealing but the painterly mood and a dusky yet rich palette that is making me drawn to anything that features pale lilac, duck egg blue, pistachio green, light peach and emerald green with sumptuous and tactile fabrics being an added bonus...
