Collaboration with Pebelle and Kennel Helsinki!!!

Hello Hello!!!
It's been a while...I've been all wrapped up on being back in the UK after my long globetrekking jaunts alongside a couple of projects I've been working on so I'm finally getting around to updating my blog!
So thought I would share a couple of images from a collaboration I worked on a while back... I teamed up with my good friend and awesome textile artist Petra Kraeutner of Pebelle for our collaboration with Finland based film production company, Kennel Helsinki.
We worked with photographer Wolfgang Steiner in producing a series of images which feature pieces from both my work and Pebelle's.
So here's a couple of pictures from the collaboration!!!
Love and Sparkles,

SS11 Showcase Collection and Farewell Vienna!

Photographer: Wolfgang Steiner

Hair and Make-Up: Claudia Haider

Hosiery: Pebelle

Models: Ina Rot @ Stella Models & Zuzana Stanekova @ Look Models.
Hello Hello!!!
Lots to update on...I'm in Japan right now...But I shall give you a full rundown of the last couple of weeks beforehand!
So the first big bit of news was that we finally closed the doors on 'Fish and Chips, Twice Please?!' after receiving a record number of almost 30,000 visitors! So happy that it has had such an awesome response and it's been a great project to work on over the past 9 months!
After spending the majority of the past year in Vienna, including my residency, I have said farewell to Whirlers and after packing up the exhibition, I ventured back to England for a few days!
Throughtout working on Fish and Chips, I have also been developing my condensed showcase collection/SS11 which features my commissioned prints as part of the exhibition. This season I presented a selection of the pieces statically in the gallery and the images above are of my most recent lookbook shoot, that I worked on with photographer Wolfgang Steiner.
So in the space of a week I waved goodbye to Vienna and the action packed chapter that was 'Fish and Chips, Twice Please?!' and found myself in Japan. I was recently awarded a position as Artist in Residence as part of the Mino Paper Art Village Project who have invited me to live and work here for the next 3 months. I only arrived yesterday after an epic 30 hour long journey which involved pretty much every mode of transport that you can imagine! So right now I'm settling in and attending to the action packed schedule that is planned...but I will save the full story for tomorrow!
Toodle Pip!

SS10 LOOKBOOK!

Hiya!!!
So a few weeks ago we shot my SS10 lookbook over in beautiful Vienna! Here are a few cheeky images from the shoot for your perusal!!!
I worked with an awesome team! Thanks guys!
Also, for the first time, you can see the results of my magical collaboration with dye genius, Pebelle! The two hand-dyed dresses that you can see were created out of intricately dyed textiles lovingly made by Pebelle! The dyed hosiery were also created by Pebelle in collaboration with SS10. You can also see a couple of pairs of Celeste Stein tights thrown into the mix too!
Photographer: Wolfgang Steiner
Hair and Make-up: Nadja Hluchovsky
Models AMT Agency: Elisabeth Resch and Harriet Crosby
Here is a bit of spiel about SS10 just so you are in the know!!!

Emma Bell SS10 collection concentrates on a fabricated exploration of kaleidoscopic eruption and nostalgic mixed-media combining the traditional craft techniques of quilting, tie dye and embroidery. A collaboration of textile development from knitted yarns to plastics encapsulating the underlying plethora of muses including British boxing, influences taken from involving myself in Austria, hand-dyeing, Victorian Porn and it’s representation of the female form fuelled by the balance of ‘order meets disorder’ taken from the playright ‘Arcadia.’

So there you go! Hope you like the new images and have a lovely Sunday!!!
Love and Yorkshire Puddings!!!
