Blog Love: Tobacco & Leather
Manchester-based illustrator and student Abbey Watkins does the most amazing, haunting illustrations. Her blog, Tobacco & Leather is not only a great source for inspiration, but she posts her illustrations both finished and while she’s working on them. You can buy her illustrations on Etsy, and I pretty much think you should.

Backstage at New York Fashion Week
I’m so hopelessly behind on fashion week updates, due to a neverending cold, but looking at these backstage photos tells me there are still many many amazing collections that I have yet to post about. These backstage photos are mainly from Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, Derek Lam, Jason Wu and Richard Chai. Mmm!

Rosie x10
Ten Times Rosie is a Rankin photography book dedicated to one model and one brand.

There is also an exhibition on at Rankin’s Annroy Gallery in London, which is definitely worth checking out if you can. Stunning stuff.

Prada SS2011
Some people aren’t really into the whole minimalism thing, and I suspect Miuccia Prada is one of those people. Colour overload, prints, stripes, monkeys (!), caterpillar-esque fur stoles, multi-colour shoes… Not exactly a sleek minimalist dream, but definitely fun to look at. We’ll all be wanting those shoes next spring, as always.
