0 Carnovsky Print Please

I came across an Italian studio called Carnovsky made up of Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla.

At first I just loved the colours and imagery. The more I read about the work the more I realised how interesting it was. This insulation and work is called RGB and it is very clever.

RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with each other.

Basically the technique is three sets of imagery in primary colours all overlapping and intertwining with each other... resulting in what looks like a colourful mess! 

If you take a coloured filter it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. The filter’s colours are red, green and blue, each one of them serves to reveal one of the three layers. I think it is such an interesting use of colour and surface pattern. 

I think I might take the basis of this idea of using three primary colours to create more colours and use it for a silk scarf print!

 

 

  

1 Cote D'azur Photoshoot

For my SS12 scarf collection I decided I wanted to go to the place where I always feel most inspired.... the South of France. India Hobson and I have been talking and planning this shoot for over a year, so to finally get out there in the sun to shoot was pretty amazing. The weather was perfect and as well as shooting we also got time to do a little sun bathing and exploring which was a bonus!
Aaron who did the last fashion film for me also flew out to film another fashion film. We shot it in Monaco and apart from getting told off every so often for using a tripod (apparently you can't shoot with a tripod in Monaco unless you have a permit!) it was a really exciting day.
I don't want to reveal too much of what happened and the amazing images we got so here are a few sneak peaks of behind the scenes.
A HUGE thank you to the following people who all helped and contributed in one way or another to make this fantastic shoot and experience happen.
India Hobson, Ellie Hallsworth, Aaron Cheesman, Galya & Nat Denaro, Lee Joseph Elliot, Lee Thompson, Beth Rees, Floriane Falcou, Joelle Falcou & Jessie Lane.

0 A Shaded View of Fashion

While I was at University I was really interested in alternate ways to show my designs rather than just on a catwalk or in sketchbook. I did my dissertation on technologies and how they are helping designers take the traditional fashion show to a new level. For example, the Diesel hologram catwalk show where they had virtual seal life creatures swimming alongside the real life catwalk models. Then there was the Kate Moss and McQueen hologram piece which was simply beautiful and way ahead of its time. These fresh takes on traditional methods of catwalks I find fascinating.
I was excited to find out that there is an actual fashion film festival called A Shaded View of Fashion held in Paris this September. I think fashion film is a very powerful media so for there to be a whole film festival dedicate to this is very exciting. I am pleased that myself and Ched53 will be collaborating on another short fashion film to show Yaelle scarves new collection together very soon in the glamours Monaco.... watch this space!

0 Anouska London

I am completely in love with Anouska London jewellery! We have very much the same influences in regards to bold colour and the hamsa hand! I was lucky enough to receive a turquoise and gold hamsa hand bracelet ( my two favourite colour combinations ever) and I don't think I'm ever going to take it off! Anouska's jewellery is very eye catching and the bracelets are stackable so you can create stunning combinations. If you are wanting some individual pieces of jewellery this summer take a look at the website.... http://www.anouskalondon.com/# you will be spoilt for choice!

0 Attire Magazine

 

 Attire Magazine has lots of new up and coming luxury and designer brands inside so it is really good that Yaelle scarves are a part of it!

They have a section on scarves but it was nice to see that Yaelle scarves were the most colourful and bold!

1 Ftape

I was introduced to the website www.ftape.com by India Hobson (amazing photographer who has done my last photoshoot and will be doing my next one!) She showed me a photoshoot which she thought I would like... and I fell in love with it so thought I would share it! It was inspired by the artist Vladimir Tretchikoff and is a contemporary take his beautiful paintings. I love the way his paintings are so bold and colourful yet also very muted. Below are images of his original paintings called Balinese Girl and Chinese Girl. Below that are the images from the Ftape photoshoot.
I want to incorporate these ideas for the next photoshoot for Yaelle Scarves. These colours printed onto silk will make gorgeous scarves!

        

          

   

       

I used to sit on the tube while I was working in London and look forward to Wednesday's as it was Stylist Magazine day! So it is very exciting to see the Hamsa Purple scarf featured in the Style List in Stylist!
