Inspirational 70's Images
07 June 2010
The following are some beautiful, inspirational images
I’d like to share with
you from the 1970’s. Somehow they are so relevant today with the crochet clothing, hair & make up and Kate Moss
looks. They’re taken from a rare photography book I own entitled Birds
of
Britain by John D Green and published by Macmillan Press. I found this book in the ‘bird’ section of a little
vintage book store in New York some years ago!
Enjoy !! Xx

Little Joe Woman Fashion Week
05 May 2010
Little Joe Woman showed for the first time at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and we were told by many that, WE ROCKED !!!
The inspiration was Talitha Getty, luxe hippy-chic....urban city girl goes to Morocco for S/S2010 – 11.
Our gorgeous models stomped down the runway in Jimmy Choo shoes with thick glossy hair courtesy of Renya Xydis for ghd and beautiful make up by Lancome. They were dressed in 1970’s style flouncy printed dresses with coin-embellished belts, silk khaki combat genie pants in all of summers greatest colours: dusty pink, camel, khaki, cream and peach and soft silk jackets. We’ve had so much fun working on this collection and doing the show.

This week we dressed Barbie for Grazia Magazine...
We all love Barbie! She's a fashion icon. We are so into flowing, chiffon, floral dresses right now, and to make this vintage inspired lingerie and kimono robe was such a fantastic and fun project.

Azzedine Alaia
12 April 2010
I
wanted to share some gorgeous images from the early
1990’s when I used to work as a model with Azzedine Alaia. He is such an incredibly
talented person and a dream to work for. We all used to have such a fun time
doing his shows, as you can see from the photographs.

Our Melbourne Adventure
23 March 2010
“ What a great week we had in Melbourne!
LMFF (L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival) really had the city buzzing!We had a fashion show at Chadstone, with Lindy Klim providing the
beats and then headed into store for a trunk show preview of the new Fall Winter
Collection, Winter Wonderland. Laurent Perrier provided the beautiful bubbles and there was lots of
fun in store until closing around midnight.
The next day we caught up with the Calvin Klein collection designer
Francisco Costa and CK’s head of marketing and PR Malcolm Carfrae for drinks at
Coda bar and then dinner with the Westfield team at Bar Lourinha where they had
a cartoonist doing drawings of everyone. Lots of stupid fun!
On Friday we were back to school at the Fashion Seminars. These are
always really interesting and inspiring. The Fashionair creator, Sojin Lee, was
great and we met up quickly after her lecture. She used to buy LJW for
Net-a-Porter which she founded. What a story.
Also of great interest was the former head of Hermes, Christian Blanckaert,
and his lecture on the future of luxury. It seems from his point of view that
we are in for some very challenging times.
Finally Kirstie Clemens interviewed Francisco and Malcolm on stage
about the Calvin Klein business. Francisco has really interpreted and renewed
the CK aesthetic. It’s so funny, I used to work with Calvin back in the day in New York!
Before we raced off to the airport we made plans to catch up for a dinner party
with Francisco and Malcolm when we’re in NY next – hopefully June!
So that was it! Melbourne was such fun!”
