What went down...on the eve of Fashion Week!

Can I get a rewinddddddddd..........
ok so, what really went down as we pulled a corker of an all-nighter the evening before my show at London Fashion Week.....
Let me show you....



As we finished sewing, put the final touches of glitter on Dr Martens, Katie frantically was still knitting...we also enjoyed a midnight pizza feast, some whisky....and even set up hair salon in my studio alongside a disco!!!
Myself and Alexis were distraught at the fact we may not have had our hair done in preparation for D-Day...so at around 3am..Charlie Le mindu popped round with his bag of magic and whipped us up special hair-do's for the occasion....Imagine, cold water, a kitchen sink and a stinky tea towel....corker indeed!!Alexis also decided now was the time to throw out her favourite French "Tectonic" dance moves complete with a head full of bleach!!! Entertain yourself with the video above....eekers!

It was all fun and games I tell you...with a lot of stress thrown in for good measure!

Mel puts the finishing crystals on! Jackee and a magical midnight feast!



Katie drops the knitting needles! Finishing touches to the footwear!



Yep...so there you have it!!Fun, frolics and heart attacks in the studio of dreams!!!

Love and PIZZA TIMES!

What WGSN Has To Say....

Hola....
Check out what WGSN, the World's leading online research, trend analysis and news service for the fashion and style industries, had to say when they attended my SS09 showcase at London Fashion Week!!!Ooooooh Juicy!!!

"Inspired by twisted fairytales including a magic tablecloth and a man with
super-strong teeth, as well as French Revolution decadence and debauched
banquets on a spaceship in a tropical galaxy, Emma Bell's latest collection
was guaranteed to be a visual feast.
With debaucherous wigs, clown-like makeup and curtains of glitter fringing
hung from their eyebrows, the unisex models were a cacophony of colour
and chaos. High-waisted candy pink hotpants, turquoise dungarees, and a
rainbow of playsuits with clashing bomber jackets, cut an overtly feminine
silhouette in waffled PVC with exposed zip details.
Cartoonish representations of gastronomic delight were crocheted
into garish dresses and shorts. A popcorn bucket was balanced
precariously as a hat, pizza slices and fried eggs transformed into bikinis
while a watermelon became shorts, and an entire dress depicted a banquet of
child-like treats."
Love and Mystical Banquets...

WORD FROM NEW YORK!!!

Yo Yo Yo......
So, New York Magazine Metier attended my show at London Fashion Week....READ ALL ABOUT IT! Hear what they have to say from the other side of the Atlantic...I especially liked Scottee's reference to being likened to a cross dressing CHERUB!!!A cherub?!?!!?!?I love it!!!

"Stephen Meisel shot an editorial for Vanity Fair Fashion Rocks where about 20 models dressed as ravers gathered to celebrate cult fashion. Emma Bell and all her mignons would have fit perfectly in that photo. From the start with a witty little video of a cross dressing cherub to the vinyl parade of pastels, each piece had a story. Sitting next to three mature blondes that looked like they would enjoy a tea at the Savoy over a fried egg bikini top – I overheard gasps and giggles with the never ending statement of “that’s amazing” so yes it is true, while one may not don pink vinyl bloomers, it’s still nice to see London recognizing originality and embracing it’s Soho roots."

The Chain of Events.....And a Smashed Nail-Varnish!

www.siamusic.net

Hi There, Hi There...
I just thought that I would write about the weird culmination of events yesterday....First off, I spent the day working on a very very very special project that I am currently directing!Ooohhhh mysterious...watch this space I say!oooh the intrigue!
So then myself and Alexis trotted off into town, after a dilemma over whether or not the number 8 bus was in fact quickest...It need not have mattered as some kind of rumour of a fire near Oxford Street hindered our plans in getting to the destination...that asshole, 'Dollar' in the shop next door also had to pipe up en route! Our first port of call was to the Sugarbabes album launch at the JCDC store which tied in also with an extra special catwalk show of his SS09 collection...an optical treat I say!!!The next link in the chain saw us befriending a policeman at Shepherds Bush station.....the station is open again now after months of having to rely on the Pink line....its all shiny and new.....well, it was until, in my mission to change my shoes, i dropped my bag on the floor and an array of sparkly, salmon pink nail varnish cascaded out of the SUPER FIT BUT SICK Sugarbabes bag onto the nice new floor...I so wanted to use that bag for a trip to the shops....anyway, I think the policeman was so distraught over the whole spectacle and after listening to us debate whether or not a pre-packed sandwich from 'Londis' was substantial or dirty.....quickly got on his magical radio to get us directions.....must have thought we were a couple of imbeciles!!!
So our next rendezvous was with the amazing voice of Sia which was hot to trot....she is one of my favourites EVER....and she even has a gold sparkly Emma Bell dress lurking in her wardrobe that I gave to her on her last tour!!!ooooh special! That was fun and there was lots of hot boys there!!!Minus the one arsehole sitting in front of us who caused a right performance and also provided cheap entertainment!
The evening didn't end there....after watching a girl squatting on Brick Lane eating mayonnaise off the pavement...we went for a magical curry....Alexis' was not gourmet, but mine was...I do love a bit of Sag Aloo Paneer.....YES PLEASE!!! We then haggled the bitches down for discount and loved their special chocolates so much they gave us several more...I loved it...
Then, on the bus home we encountered a boy with very small feet who was wearing velveteen ruby slippers...that was hot....you have to love a boy wearing velvet shoes....actually, no, it's gross!!!
Love and Sunflower Seeds,

LONDON FASHION WEEK SS09

PHOTO BY BILLA http://www.billabaldwin.com/

jEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!

errrmmm I don't know where to even start...the past 7 months since my last show have been super hardcore in the preparation of last Friday 19th September...even from last December when I found myself trekking around the Far East scribbling in journals and sketchbooks and sourcing the perfect fabrics in the weirdest markets ever.....BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!From the design, to sourcing, to pattern cutting, to making....to spending months knitting and bejewelling, to juggling special freelance projects.....it's been incredibly intense!

And finally on Friday my new collection was unleashed!!!

As my SS09 collection was unveiled on the catwalk of London Fashion Week at Vauxhall Fashion Scout....we saw an amazing presence from my ULTRA ULTRA SPECIAL creative director and stylist Miss Alexis Knox....http://www.alexisknox.com/....as well as INCREDIBLE phantasmagorical hair directed by the AMAZING superstar stylist Charlie Le Mindu...http://www.charlielemindu.com/....FANTASTIC accessories from Keko Hainswheeler...http://www.kekohainswheeler.com/.....JUICY make-up by Rachael Wood and SPARKLETABULOUS jewelled masks by Melissa Lee!!!!

Not even to mention the BUBBLY PINK CHERRY LAMBRINI from my AMAZING sponsors LAMBRINI!!!http://www.dothelambrini.co.uk/....and of course INCREDIBLE graphics depicting a feast of jelly beans....sick clowns....buffets galore by Hidden Agency!!!http://www.blogger.com/www.hidden-agency.com!!!!AND NOT FORGETTING THE UNLEASHMENT OF MY MAGICAL OPENING FILM BY JAMES BATLEY...http://www.jamesmakesvideos.com/.....

A brief bit of spiel about my latest collection for SS09.....it was inspired by weird twisted fairytales involving magic tablecloths and bizarre entities living in glitter encrusted shacks courtesy of a food-stained skanky book I found in Oxfam for £2.....all you can eat buffets where you can gorge yourself.....Russian folklore involving arrogant, cheating, super hot princes with curly moustaches, French Revolution style decadent dinner parties on a mystical planet at the other side of the galaxy.....


Ok now for some special thanks.....now there are A LOT of people who have helped me soooo much and it would not have been possible to do this without them....

I would firstly like to thank MY AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING first assistant Katie Mudford...who has spent months knitting with me as well as well as EVERYTHING else including entertaining gossip sessions....trips to the co-op...getting shat on by birds who had been eating blackberries......burning the midnight oil...tra la la la......THANKS KATIE!!!!
OK....now I hope that I am not going to forget to mention anyone here....my brain has still not recovered since the show....
