Loving this Goth kimono. 🖤💀🇯🇵

Me too! 🤦‍♀️

The pale-bladed land of dreams. 👏

Absolutely glorious. I love IR so much.

Morning Jonesy. 😻

We lived close to a farm with a Friesian herd and I can confirm there was a colony of feral cats that lived there, and they looked pretty happy. 😹

I had to look it up but apparently the pre-Lewis Carroll origin of Cheshire Cat is believed to be because of the high number of dairy farms in the county, therefore cats are happy because there’s plenty of milk and cream around. 😺

The great county where I was born. ❤️🧀🧂🍓🍎🍒🌸👻

A jacket in pale green linen by Schiaparelli featuring a design by Jean Cocteau: the outline of a woman’s profile is rendered in a simple line embroidery on the jacket’s upper left side, just below the shoulder, while her long hair is represented by a cascade of gold bugle beads down the jacket’s sleeve.

At the jacket’s waist, a hand is depicted clutching a piece of fabric in the same embroidery style.

At the #Schiaparelli exhibition at the V&A yesterday I came face to face with the actual piece, which was a bit emotional for me, reconnecting with my early 20s self when I was discovering great photographers like Penn, Bill Brandt and Robert Frank. I never knew the bugle beads were gold. 😊

One image really stuck with me, a detail of a jacket by Elsa Schiaparelli in collaboration with Jean Cocteau.

Cover of the book Inventive Paris Clothes 1909-1939 by Irving Penn, featuring a monochrome back view of a 1920s evening gown with the model holding a large peacock feather fan.

Back when I was studying photography in Nottingham, there was a book in the campus library that really fascinated me: Inventive Paris Clothes 1909-1939 by Irving Penn. A series of beautiful B&W photographs of couture pieces, rich in texture and detail. A short 🧵

At the V&A for the Schiaparelli exhibition (well worth it), enjoying some tea in all the Victorian bling.

Boiler still broken though and I‘m cold. 🥶

The boiler engineer currently fixing our ancient unit has the Twisted Nerve whistling theme as his ringtone, which is pleasing.

Yay, infrared! Camera also very cool.

It’s amazing isn’t it? Like a pagan ritual song. Mr Carter was my key teacher in primary school. A flawed man in many ways, but he read us Alan Garner, loved drama and encouraged us to write creatively. 🌿

Spring equinox is here. 🌸🌿🌞 In celebration, here’s a deep cut from way back, when something weird crept into UK education. Little wonder that so many 70s kids turned out strange. youtu.be/anklgz6IidY?...

Thanks Monique, but it depends how you define the word ‘play’. 😆 I’m still very much learning, but I love the process and I’ve got a great teacher (who has a cool cat called Matsi). x
