Its just a tatti Bugatti.

Well not really. A extremely rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante was found in an old garage in Gosforth, near Newcastle, it had been unused since 1960 and is 1 of only 17 ever made.



This particular car is even more valuable because it was originally owned by Earl Howe, a prominent British race car driver, and because its original equipment is intact, so it can restored without relying on replacement parts. Bonhams will auction the car Feb. 7

In all its glory:




" WAHEY MAN. wha a canny good find like"

What's He Gonna do!

LeBron James “Brace Yourself” January 18th 2009.

Whats he going to do.... Few rumours have been circulating. Rap single. Feature some how in his other sport of choice, football.

I think he should be the captain of one side and pick 5 players of his choice past or present to play against Jordans 5... that would be interesting no...

we shall wait and see!

Louis Vuitton Boat shoe.

Louis x Yeezy Boat shoe. Loving the brilliant white and the leather tassels. Not so sure on the back detail just yet!

Look forward to the rest of the collection!

Louis Vuitton x Louis Vuitton Don?

Rumour has it that the self acclaimed Louis Vuitton Don will be collaborating with French fashion Giants Louis Vuitton.

This will be on a range of sneakers. Brilliant White mono-tonal, im guessing to the same quality of Lanvin shoes and Common Projects. Simple design with attention to quality of production and materials.

This video below shows Kanye confirming the rumour but it all could be a hoax, similar to the April Fools by The Hundreds saying they had been bought by Louis Vuitton...


We shall have to wait and see, but the massive influence Kanye is having on the Fashion World by the things he has been seen wearing and his verbal expression for the love of Design. he also has strong relationship with LV's Creative Director Marc Jacobs it may seem the rumour is most likely true.

Pharell also has done a collaboration with Louis Vuitton. A Jewellery line named Blason, not a huge fan, but the 1of1 M-65 Jacket he had made for him by L.V was quite special!!!

I always thought a Vans x Louis Vuitton would be an obvious collaboration.

Checkerboard x Damier Canvas respectively.

Colour Palette.

For my upcoming collection I have been considering a Monochromatic Tonal Collection. Meaning one colour for the whole collection with varied tones and fabric texture.

After seeing work by Giuliano Fujiwara and Hannah Marshall I think it will work well with the the idea of construction, layering, detail and silhouette of my garments and outfits.

The End Of The Beginning ....pre_COLLECTION

So the lack of blogging has been due to the RIDICULOUS amount of work that has been coming my way. Juggling briefs left right and centre it seems as tho the hard work has started to finally pay off.

This blog is to cover my final year at LCAD as a visual diary of interests and inspirations for my Final Collection. Pre-Collection research and design developement has just been handed in and given positive feedback by my tutors.

I decided to base my Pre-Collection on Surrealism and the work of Elsa Schiaperelli. Many artists then became prominent, such as:

Elsa Schiaperelli

Coco Chanel

Salvadoré Dali

Man Ray

These are just a few to name that will influence my research for a Streetwear Collection morphed with a 'Couture twist', produced with luxury fabrics and quality detailing throughout

A slight taster of whats to come:

.....keep em' peeled!

Nike Spring 2009 Footwear

Two models from this collection instantlu caught my eye. The Vintage blazer as I have been searchin for this shoe religously on eBay! Hopefully there will be more colorways to come but the red is dope!

Then the Air Pegasus 89 'OG! For the simple fact I wanted them so bad in primary school, but all I recieved was a pair of Arrows from Barratts! To rub salt in the wound, a friend of mine who I did not particularly like got them in the dopest colorway, and outshone my Arrows wasnt hard though hey!

"GOOD things come to those who WAIT"

WINTER STOMPERS!

Due to the bad weather in the U.K I decided to acquire some winter footwear. Red Wings 875 IRISH SETTER BOOTS were the shoes of choice. Check out the video, which gives you an insight to how they are made and the History surrounding this work shoe.

These shoes are definatley for LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS.

Stussy x Futura

Stussy have come together with one of my favourite Graf Artist Futura. The signature spray can tee is my personal favourite and a defo pick up for me!



He also recently collaborated with Burton on snowboard under garments. Consisting of a top and bottom, the pieces combine Burton’s superb quality apparel with a pixelated print done by Futura.

"Fascist protect the FASCIST!!

It was an eventful weekend in Leeds City Centre. Most prominently that there was an organistaion called the BPP, a National Fascist Group demonstrated their White Supremacy ideals outside HMV, protesting against Black Music and its influence on the U.K. These narrow minded idiots were supposed to turn up at 9a.m but all that gathered outside HMV were a number of Riot Vans and then suddenly a hoard of Anti-Fascist campaigners came trooping through top protest against the vile BPP.

A anti-fascist flyer read:

"The BPP are a group of vicious racists and neo-nazis, they are supporters of Adolf Hitler, and want White supremacy and not White equality."

Being an Ethnic minority my self it was quite heart warming to see such a vast amount of people believing in Unity rather then ultra Nationalism. Their hatred is upon Blacks, Asians, Gays and basically everything that is not a White British.

They eventually turned up in little numbers, 15 at the most with children. Protected by the Police. Thats when I heard the cry:

"FASCIST PROTECTED BY FASCISTS!"

Anti-fascists protest

Police

Quite a turn out:

Great Black Music:

Police protect the BPP:

I then asked the officer:

"have you ever heard that track by NWA?"

"which ones that then?" he replied

"You know 'FUCK DA POLICE' ?"

Terry Richardson Photographer

Richardson's photographs are often to some extent autobiographical and frequently graphically depict sexual subject matter, erotic nature and controversial style has given him that edge and his work is instantly recogniseable. Something I feel makes a good Photographer.

Here is his latest shoot with Marc Jacobs, Lily Cole and Leo Fitzpatrick. We also get to see Jacob’s tattoo work which includes the likes of Sponge Bob, Eric Cartman, a Simpsonized version of himself and matching “Bros over Hos” piece with tattoo and graphic artist extraordinaire Scot Campbell.









welcome to Terrys World!

King Stampede x New Era

Seen as everyone is collaborating with New Era these days its hard to come up with an original concept for the cap.

King Stampede recently released their collaboration with New Era and changed up the structure and shape of the cap.

Almost like a Fidel Castro shape style cap 2 panel instead of 4. Best New Era collabo shape wise I have seen for a while.










"A Revolution is not a bed of Roses"

Whoops!

Its not cool to laugh at other people mis-fortune! But come on this is hilarious, well the news presenter thought it was!!! Poor model toppels in her Vivienne heels!!

Them moves are usually acustomes to "Shakin Stevens" stage shows! Ladies imagine wearin them under the influence! good buy ankle ligaments!

Head Porter 2008 Fall/Winter iPhone Case Collection

Finally a decent case for my iPhone. Head Porter latest collection looks rather appealing my personal favourites would have to be the Zebra and Leopard print and also the Quilted. Hopefully will get a UK release at a decent price.
