This week I've been in New York, and yesterday I went to see the incredible Alexander McQueen retrospective, named Savage Beauty at the MET.

Hermes online auction
An auction of silk scarves by French luxury house Hermès is being held online, and pieces from the extensive archive are available to view – and buy, here.
The designs vary from intricate hand drawn animals to bold nautical imagery. Many of the designs reference aristocratic French country life – with imagery of hanging rabbits and pistol guns depicted in fine silk.
In addition to the elaborate motifs, I also love the names of the scarves, ‘An Homage to Mozart ‘, ‘Tarot’ and ‘Dead Rabbits’ are just a few that made me smile, and below are some of my favourite designs.
Prices start at a rather reasonable 80 euros, so if anyone would like to give me an early birthday present, please see below for suggestions!

If it's good enough for Stella...
I absolutely adore these videos made by DJ Pogo, who previously worked for Walt Disney Motion Picture Studios and was contractually obliged to remove them from the internet whilst working for Walt. Now they're back, and they're more charming than ever!

If Stella McCartney approves Disney then who am I to argue?!

Love from Darkroom
Tonight I went to see the Love from Darkroom valentines exhibition. Several 'createurs' from Carolyn Massey and Philip Treacy to Barnaby Roper and Bill Woodrow were commissioned to create an 'heart work' to be sold at the shop for a set fee of £150.
Proceeds of all sales are donated to Camila Batmanghelidjh's Kids Company charity. Benevolent chic anyone?!
Love from Darkroom runs until February 14th.
