Picked back up some Virginia Woolf this weekend. From an essay entitled Street Haunting, A London Adventure.

"Savile Row is a shopping street in Mayfair, central London, famous for its traditional men's bespoketailoring. The term "bespoke" is understood to have originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by individual customers. The short street is termed the "golden mile of tailoring", where customers have included Winston Churchill..." (from Wiki)

Discovery of Horrockses

2012-01-15T17:56:00.006Z

Couldn't help but purchase this stunning scarf the other night at the V&A.

1 - It was on sale

2 - I couldn't get enough of the color palette and design

Found out it was designed by Alastair Morton for Horrockses Fashion in 1959.

Yinka Shonibare - Nelson's Ship

2012-01-11T23:53:00.003Z

From the guardian :

From the moment the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group wrote to him three years ago, asking him please to submit a proposal, Shonibare knew in his gut what he wanted to stick on London's highest-profile site for sculpture. "It's a huge honour to do something for Trafalgar Square," he says. "And it seemed obvious to do a work that was connected to the square in some way. I'm surprised no one has done that before. I wanted to do a serious thing for a serious space, but I also wanted it to be exciting, magical, and playful." His big idea was Nelson's Ship in a Bottle, a large-scale model of Horatio Nelson's ship, HMS Victory, from which he commanded the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The twist in the tail, however, is that this ship's sails would be made of Dutch wax, the brightly coloured African fabric that is Shonibare's trademark. "Nelson's victory freed up the seas for the British, and that led, in turn, to the building of the British Empire. But in a way, his victory also created the London we know today: an exciting, diverse, multicultural city." So his work is intended to be celebratory rather than critical? "Both. I want to make people think. I love London. I don't know any city like it. It has a unique vibe. Maybe this is just a monument to live, and let live."

RCA Secret this year celebrates its Eighteenth Birthday as a unique exhibition and sale of original postcard-sized art, made by professional artists, designers and illustrators, plus current postgraduate students at the Royal College of Art.

THE SECRET

The postcards are displayed anonymously and are signed on the reverse, so that the artist remains a secret until after the cards are purchased and their signature is revealed.

THE ARTISTS

Over 1,000 invited artists have donated 2,900 works to RCA Secret 2011, including Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor, Grayson Perry, Yoko Ono, Olafur Eliasson, Yinka Shonibare and John Baldessari, designers Kenneth Grange, Margaret Calvert and James Dyson, fashion designers Paul Smith, Manolo Blahnik and Erdem, animator Nick Park, photographer David Bailey and film maker Mike Leigh, as well as up-and-coming students and graduates from the Royal College of Art.

THE EXHIBITION

Exhibition open at the Royal College of Art, Kensington Gore, London SW7 2EU from Friday 18 November until Friday 25 November 2011, 11am-6pm, (Thursday until 9pm). Free Admission. The postcards will also be available for viewing on this website from Friday 18 November.

THE SALE

The cards will be sold to the public in a huge one-day sale on Saturday 26 November 2011, 8am-6pm, with each postcard costing just £45. A maximum of four cards may be purchased per person. Postcards will only be available to purchase in person at the Sale. It is recommended that you prepare a list of cards in advance, as the exhibition will not be open for viewing on the morning of the Sale.

First-Fifty Raffle tickets for a chance to win a place at the front of the Sale queue will be on sale at the Exhibition, until an hour before the close of the exhibition on each open day. A maximum of ten tickets may be purchased per registered Collector.

"Following on from photographer Chris Floyd's One Hundred and Forty Characters project, for which he brought together and photographed his Twitter connections, we invited Chris Floyd to photograph our own followers at Christie's, during Frieze Art Fair. Calling out to our enormous flock of over 500,000 tweeters, we invited them to our temporary Wallpaper* Tweet Life studio. Hundreds of you turned up to be snapped. Now Floyd has made an edit of the photographs to produce the Wallpaper* 140. See who made the cut..."
