So, basically the graphics processor on my main laptop fried last night, I will have the baby back in a few days but I'm afraid there'll be no posts until then.
On a different note, I made a new tumblr account for the blog where I'll post images from the blog and more visual inspiration.
Find it at stretchingshadows.tumblr.com, and follow it!!!
See ya.

Craftsmanship
Amongst quite dull SS12 collections this little gem shines.
It's where craftsmanship meets wearability that good fashion is born, and these amazing creations are the perfect example of this much needed balance.
Hand-dyed strands of fabric set to create patterns and define the silhouette of beautiful gowns; a romantic yet strong and somehow wild victorian traveller, replacing ruffled collars with african-inspired neck pieces.
Four collections down this sibling-led brand has already established its name among editors and buyers. Well deserved attention I may add.

Covers
I just came across the new AnOther Magazine cover for Autumn/Winter 2011.
Shot by Craig McDean and starring Rachel Weisz, this image is hauntingly beautiful.
From colour combination, to composition, to styling and make up, this photograph is simply perfect.
I haven't been so captivated by a cover since this...
... and now that I think about it it's not a very good thing, because the fact is that more often than not magazine covers don't live up to the expectations.
But there's exceptions, and amazing ones at that.

Fashion Films
As much as photography and print will always be the glossy medium to amazing campaigns, it's time to face the truth: videos and films are a more direct way to get the message across.
Whether it's a particular stylistic choice, a bold and funny concept or simply the perfect setting for a great collection, video is a great way to tell more complex and articulated stories.
Here's some of the best videos that have surfaced so far, produced to support Fall/Winter collections.
Steven Meisel for Prada
