Roy Litchenstien ; A Retrospective. I

I have the easily forgettable pleasure of living in London, I have access to many things of a close interest within my range. Today I spent a few hours strolling around the Tate Modern along with my niece. Roy Litchenstien  is currently holding an exhibition called 'A Retrospective' running throughout May. I have to be honest though he doesn't live up the hype that surrounds him. I studied him in the previous years and it seems all my teachers spoke so highly of him. I saw his work on the internet in books but actually coming close up to his work? I thought would feel a bit more than it did. Its not all negative. I found a few pieces I studied and reworked in school and truly and utterly fell in love with design, and you'll see why!  This will also tell you a lot about my fashion sense, why I love simplicity and most of all lets take a moment to appreciate realism, what I consider the epitome of skill and technique. Id recommend any comic fanatics to go and see his work, I feel because of the type of art I favor, I haven't given credit where its due and perhaps I should. All in all I was impressed by Litchenstien's ability to duplicate several pieces of the same piece of work, as well as his seemingly obsessive ways with perspective and how light works along with it. I loved his projects on 'nudes' and the sculptural work.

in the words of the Reaper,

WASSSSSSUUUUUUURRR'P!

What's truly up guys? (I wish our viewers would comment, at least tells us what you like or don't). Moving along its been a lovely day, my most relaxed day this week so far.. well I'm having one of those anxiety attacks of both excitement and sheer bewilderment. Long story short, for a good chunk of my academic years I studied art. Last year happened *pause* so I decided (I had no choice) to take this gap year that's been hell for the past 6 months though I'm ever so grateful for now. I then decided to change my path due to realizing what generation I live in and decided to do something challenging I had always told self I couldn't. I'm currently sitting in my bed, looking at the clutter I've caused by trying to tidy up, ironically this is my state of mind. I'm a busy messy bubble bee because I want to reorganize my life- as well as that I'm a city girl, I love being on the go. Basically I have an interview with a university tomorrow and I'm bricking it!!

Ultimate Love; Richard Nicoll

I'm back from Bristol, tired as hell! Ill post about my trip tomorrow, thought I should do a post on a designer I've loved since last year, Richard Nicholl. Another London born CSM grad who's designs scream out geometry, minimalism and like most British manufactured designers its almost inevitable that the designs have a chic finish. To me this mean the garment is one to treasure the term chic ooze's of everything classy, bold, elegant and the modern woman. I've decided to upload both the SS13 and SS12 collections, to be honest purely because I'm still in love with last years floral prints, the perspex materials, cold pallets and the more interesting layering and textures just as much as I love the new collection which is currently filled with the new so-loved sports luxe, the reoccurring leopard-like print, the mesh seems to have replaced the sheer materials we saw last year. I will start with this years collection.
