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.

Jordan Askill

I came across Jordan Askill's fantastical jewellery designs at New Gen Men, at London Fashion Week.

In addition to creating intricately detailed designs for his namesake label, Askill also designs bespoke pieces for film costumes, and hyper real scultpures too.

I adore his horse works. You can see more about Jordan Askill here
