Natargeorgiou

The Natargeorgiou Winter Collection by Greek Cypriot designers Dimos Natar and Andreas Georgiou via Miss Moss.

I've touched on it before, but I'm forever inspired by fashion lines' ability to be narrative in and of itself, to throw back to by-gone eras and drive towards the future, to speak of the mechanical, fantastical, humane and animalistic. This line is pretty gorgeous, and I feel like it breathes of rivers in spring, hillsides and pebbles beneath quick moving water, of the people that live beside it, favour it, give it wealth like it gives back to them. Love, love, love this. Plus I would wear the hell of that blue dress

Friday Finds

 Noela Stevenson is my spirit animal, and her new(ish) webseries Nimona is pretty awesome. It's funny, charming and with damn likeable characters. Plus her art is super great. (I'm a shark!) Read the series over here.

Daughter singing 'Youth' live for The Amazing Sessions on Amazing Radio is pretty close to sublime.

Also, Estelle Tang wrote a really interesting essay on empathy with abusers in fiction (particularly Australian fiction). I really recommend taking a look at it over here.

I'm totally charmed by these tiny sculptures by Diem Chau. This one is an elephant carved into the top of a graphite pencil. (found via Super Punch)

And to finish us off, a wonderful, glorious letter from F. Scott Fitzgerald to an aspiring writer. You've got to sell your heart.

Your Mid-Week Art Break

Check out Maike Plenzke, an exceptional illustrator from Hamburg, Germany. It's all pretty exceptional (plus A+ Hunger Games fanart).

The Oyster Murders

Friday Finds

20 Nostalgia-Inducing Photobooth Snaps of Famous People. I particularly love the Elvis ones and the one above of Truman Capote, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer. (via Flavorwire)

I'm also a bit in love with these covers for Pulp Novels featuring Marvel characters by Jon Morris. You can check out the rest over on tumblr.

Taylor's Ten Tips for Writers is pretty hilarious.

 Also, AbeBooks has a list of literary oddities on their website, and I gotta say that I'd read an embarrassing amount of these. 'Giraffe? Giraffe!' in particular sounds like a literary masterwork. I'm also pretty fascinated by 101 More Uses for a Dead Cat (mostly because the title suggests that it's a sequel.)

Matt Corby - Brother (Like a Version)

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Welcome to the Weekend

This weekend I'm modelling at the Love Vintage Fair at the Brisbane Convention Centre for Bonnie Rose Vintage Clothing. I'm super excited, but also pretty nervous because it's not something I've done before. I'm also excited to experience vintage clothing. I love it generally, but I also love it as a narrative device and as a part of character. It's ability to explain, justify and flesh out a character excites me and I'm looking forward to getting excited at the fair! What are you guys up to?
