My day look for
Self styled London, the amazing photo-project that capture the individual looks of the British capital.
the troll jacket made for
Yve Blake for her show Lie collector, hundreds of 90s troll stitched one by one on a leather cowboy jacket with glittery leggings, shiny and funny, bad taste borderline... all what I like in an outfit!
The headpiece is made out of two ring display stands shaped as hand, I put them on a head band like two translucent horns holdings a pink beads as a kind of offering to style.
The hyper-japan kawai lolcore necklace is made out with moshi monsters that the amazing artist Scorpio gave me in enhance of a Star Wars brooch mixed with 90s dummy and translucent beads stitched on a fabric & foam plastron base.
I customised theses blacks Santiags with imitation snake skin by stitching one vampire dolls heads, colourful fringes, sequins and beads, you won't see any shoes like mine, anywhere!
My night outfit is my bingo hostess costume. If I spend the day working in my studio, on the night, I put on my more sparkly dress and go to host the crazy kitsch
Hackney Bingo club in
Bar 90.
On the purple sequins base dress I stitched the red sparkly letters of the word Bingo and a customised dolls holding glittery pink bingo balls with silver numbers. I added a big pink tulle collar….because MORE IS MORE.
with this costume I am wearing a
Piers Atkinson golden hat with crystals that I had for my birthday.

The challenge was to customise a dress for
Deirdre the owner of the amazing vintage shop
Lucy Lounge in Dublin (have a look if you go pass the city).
I tried to include all the elements she liked and that were important in her life. So for example she really like dolls so I incorporated 5 plastic toys dogs with beads necklaces and rhinestones.
She liked arms and legs from dolls but found heads a bit creepy so I selected theses parts of the vampire dolls bodies.
She wanted to wear it for festival so I went for more of a bohemian-hippie look with a fashion twist with for example the holographic fabric.
I love your bingo nights, I wish I lived closer as I would very much love to see them :) You both look amazing. Also this festival themed look you created is marvellous, I think with these festivals everyone very much looks the same or wears a very similar 'uniform' and it's quite boring, but this for me visually shows the spirit of a festival. Marvellous xx
