Currently on Ebay

I recently had a huge clearout due to a severe lack of room and poor financial state! This means it is likely I will be selling on ebay for quite some time! Here are some of the items currently up for auction:http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/biba_marie_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

Two Broken Hearts, Two Style Icons

Nisha Thirkell and Amber Butchart, aka The Broken Hearts are a Dj and performance duo like no other. Taking inspiration from showgirls, burlesque, circus slideshows and the golden age of Hollywood cinema, they use every performance as an excuse for dressing up. This shouldn't prove to be an impossible task; after all they both have jobs in London's mecca for all things vintage, Beyond Retro, and have an extensive collection of identical costumes solely created for their shows. Their quirky style not only caught my eye but also the fashionable eyes of i-D, Nylon and Artrocker magazines, as well as features on their fabulous style in Vogue.

Pierrots on the Runway

The Moschino Spring/Summer 2009 collection seemingly payed homage to the costumes of early theatre via Pierrots, Showgirls and 1920s Flappers. A host of ruffles, monochrome harlequin prints, oversized bows and drop-waisted mini dresses graced the models who strutted their stuff on a stark white catwalk adorned with giant headless mannequins wearing pretty silk dresses! If this show was anything to go by, expect an ongoing trend of frivilous and theatrical fashion.

Beautiful Imagery: Hadley Hutton

Artist and illustrator Hadley Hutton's work is just stunning. The use of colour and organic imagery (florals and birds are a predominant theme) ensures beautiful and original artwork. You can buy original works on canvas and wood, as well as prints at:
