My most recent blog post for online magazine Fussed.
This week (well technically last week) I got to write about my favourite designer Emma Mulholland...

Ahhh Un-real!

I know I start most of my posts with "I literally love..." but i'm sorry I just love a lot of things! I literally LOVE Emma Mulholland's designs and collections! All of them! The bright, busy, sea-punk, spaced out style of her work is something that really grabs me! There are so many simple and sensible fashion brands about, that it is nice to see something different every season. I mean don't get me wrong, the industry is built around the classy, chic, luxury brands and without them life would be much different, I just prefer Emma Mulholland's more playful and experimental style of work.

A/W 2013/14...

I would definitely say that "Extra-terrestrials and Tutankhamen collide with Desperately Seeking Susan" sums up her work perfectly!

2 Things...

Today I was reading Teen Vogue and I came across an article about Kimbra :) In the article photo she was wearing MY FAVOURITE: Emma Mulholland! Yaay...

She likes Emma Mulholland alot...

I like Emma Mulholland alot...

Read the article here ....>> http://www.teenvogue.com/industry/blogs/music/2012/07/edge-of-glory-meet-new-zealands-pop-princess-kimbra.html

Here is Kimbra with Mark Foster and A-Trak...

Also I found out that Basso & Brooke have collaborated with The Cambridge Satchel Company! I don't know if I am behind in finding out about this? If so, oh well!

They look SO goood! And will be hitting stores in the Autumn!

Cambridge Satchels are THE BEST! And I swear they have magic powers... Because I spilt (No! actually my mum!) Spilt a bottle of nail varnish remover on mine which bleached the colour out of it (it's purple) but after a while the colour just GREW BACK!? Magic! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! They may be on the pricey side (around 100 squid for purple ones) but I can tell I will still have mine when i'm old and wrinkly! It has lasted me through two years of art college so far; being kicked, stuffed, flicked with ink and paint, dragged along the floor and it still looks new (ish)!

P.s. Sorry for the random-ness of this post! These were just things from my day!

What I am into today...

Love her voice and LOVE this remix!...

NEW FAVOURITE DESIGNER !!!! : EMMA MULHOLLAND !

Today was the last official day of College! What a shame! I will miss it so much! Blaaa blaaaa!

TBH I have decided that when I do actually finish college (in about 4 weeks, after the fashion show) I will be ECSTATIC! Time to get on with my life please!

I came home today in quite a miserable mood. It wasn't even the 5 hours sat in a stuffy class room that put me in that mood!...

( I will keep this moaning sesh short and snappy as I am trying to keep my blog from becoming one of those places where people B***h about their lives)...

A certain person really rubbed me the wrong way today, I was not a happy Bunny! (No matter how I write that, it sounds wrong :P Sorry)! When I got home I did the usual stomping up to my bedroom to avoid all human contact, put my computer on and angrily checked my blog to see if there were any new comments! Nop! There wasn't any, no one likes me! :(

Anyway (now i'm getting to the point)... While checking another blog, I discovered the designer Emma Mulholland! Her work immediately cheered me up, which is always a good thing! The playful surfer/ colourful grunge vibe of her work reminded me why I love fashion :) Occasionally you need inspiration and motivation to remind you of why you hope to dedicate your whole life to the fashion industry! It can be a nasty place, with nasty people in it, so it is nice to be reminded why you chose your path... Emma Mulhollands work did that for me :)

Emma Mulholland; an Australian designer who studied at Sydney’s Ultimo College at TAFE, takes great inspiration from the sea and her surfing childhood background!

"Fish are freaking insane, like the colors and patterns that are on them are just out of this world. I really do get into different animals. I am looking into lizards at the moment, and they’re just like aliens.”

I really like how she hasn't tried to be "edgy and individual" and has gone for an Australian theme, close to her heart, making her work different from other designers. She grew up near the sea and surfed! Why not base her collections around this....?

Here is a selection of her graduate collection and her A/W, S/S collections...
