Finito Bandito

24Jun10

Eventually we ( Mark and I) find ourselves in that happy place where we no longer have anything left to do on a project. Namely the Perfect Video for the beautiful and talented Gwyneth which has been edited, rendered, soundtracked (thanks a cajillion to Ben George and Heather Bell) and sent off to the label for them to decide what to do with it- hopefully available on an internet blog near you in the not toooo distant future. I’ve decided to post some sneaky shots of the styling-the pretty restaurant we used, La Vie en Rose, on Broadway Market (where Gwyn fits in a perfect treat I think you’ll agree) and the two lovely little co-stars all dressed up in their finery.

this one is possible my favourite because it shows- to their full advantage- the metres and metres of ruffles that I stitched onto and under and on and around this dress…

and when you’ve spent almost a month (hyperbole employed) at a sewing machine with a long trail of tulle half circles spanning the room behind you, that sort of picture gains a certain status that’s not entirely based on rationality.
In all of these photos Gwyn wears a super soft organic alpaca cardigan from one of my most favourite ethical brands- Miksani which I finally managed to dye scarlet using kool aid….. God bless america.

Looking forward to the video being out and about and hopefully some Holloway-Smith Femme for Gwyneth Herbert t-shirt designs appearing in your fashion conciousnesses.
