New Obsession - Ashley Williams

My new fashion obsession...

Ashley Williams

The first time I heard about Ashley Williams was in ELLE magazine. Pixie Geldof wore her Elvis print dress. Being an Elvis fan I immediately researched the designer and looked on the Vogue website to view her recent work and fashion shows. Personally I adore Williams' use of colour combinations to create cute and quirky kitsch style prints and patterns.
In her AW13 Fashion East show there was a really 60s vibe, with see-through dresses showing cute pink underwear there was a really sexual appeal in the clothing, whilst having a really girly feel to the items.












This is my favourite piece in her entire AW show. It looks like she through on her favourite magazine article and reminds me of the Dior Newspaper dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in Sex and the City.

After visiting the UCAS fair of 2013 at London Olympia I discovered that Williams attended the university of Westminster! I was already considering applying to Westminster University, however now I'm hooked! It's definitely one of my UCAS choices.

Meadham Kirchhoff




Last night I went to see the magical the awesome Meadham Kirchhoff at the V&A. As part of thee museum's fashion in motion programme I saw the seven pm show. The atmosphere was wonderful with artists, students from all creative areas of all different styles, all with the same admiration and curiosity for the duo designers. 






The outfits were a mixture of pieces from all their shows.It was a beautiful and breathtaking combination. Furthermore the combination of the moving set designed by Philip Wiegard and whimsical music directed by Jeffrey Hinton really worked well with the clothes, giving the clothes a story.

It was a magical night! I felt like I was on top of the world! Thank you to the V&A for treasuring the artists and their works that are so important to our culture. Thank you for giving me the oppurtunity to see a fashion show of two designers I have admired since I their ss 2011 show!
