Girls with Aeroplanes

Beautiful fashion photographs published in ‘The Ambassador’ magazine circa 1950. I love the juxtaposition of industrial/feminine, and of course the colour palette in the top picture!

LoVArts Exhibition June 2013

The first exhibition organised by LoVArts last night was a resounding success! 

Rumour has it that around 800 people turned up to 1001 Brick Lane to view the offerings. On display were photos, film, ceramics, comic illustrations, fashion, costume and installation as well as some performance art.

My frankenstein’s monster cocoon costume was exhibited as above, and looked pretty good in the space! 

Thanks to LoVArts and everyone who made it happen- it is a privilege to be part of such a dynamic and energetic collective.

To those who aren’t involved with LoVArts yet, I say JOIN NOW! It will be worth your while!

Promoting British Manufacturing: The Ambassador

I promised a few wonderful photos from 1950s issues of The Ambassador magazine. These innovative shots really highlight the manufacturing process of the garments the models are wearing, whilst still being eye-catching, humorous and sleek. 

Could provide inspiration for any British-made brands wanting to showcase their manufacturers!

The Ambassador Magazine: Promoting Post-War British Textiles and Fashion


There is a beautiful book published recently by the V&A focussing on the history of The Ambassador Magazine. This magazine was a huge player in supporting British Manufacturing and design after the Second World War. 

Editor and Publisher, Hans Juda, was committed to socialist values, and devoted to the idea of an alliance between arts and industry. 

The magazine tackled these ideas in an innovative and appealing way, and there will be up-coming blog posts about various themes that ran through the magazine and it’s aim to promote the British manufacturing industry.

Maybe it’s time someone revived it? 

Artist Interview: Aleksandra Karpowicz 1. What are the topics of your works?The main topic of all my works are people. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the mood for a work in the studio or outdoor. Almost always you find some human on my photographs. 2. What influences your work?A lot of influences comes from my past. Even if I work on new projects there is always something from my previous experiences and memories.3. Would you say your work has a purpose?Of course. My work makes me happy and that’s what the life should be about.4. What would you call your style?Once my friend told me that if he saw somewhere my pictures, he would know that I took them. I guess I must have some kind of style then, although I’m not so sure what this would be.5. How do you feel when people interpret your artwork differently?It always fascinates me how people can perceive things differently, however, it doesn’t surprise me. It would be so boring if we all would like the same. 6. What are you looking most forward to from the LoVArts exhibition?I would like LoVArts to become a well-known platform where artists can reveal their talents, share ideas and collaborate. ‘Chaos Control’ is the first occasion to present our group to the wide public and encourage others to getting involved.Aleksandra’s work will be presented at the “Chaos Control” showcase 11th of June at Cafe 1001, Brick Lane, London.

Of course. My work makes me happy and that’s what the life should be about.

My artist interview! Rose Fulbright1. What are the topics of your works?The topics of my work vary from stories in books or songs to something I have an opinion on in the outside world.2. What influences your work?Absolutely everything. Mostly nature/industry/architecture and futurism.3. Would you say your work has a purpose?At the moment my work’s purpose is very practical. I am in the process of creating a luxury lingerie label, so the pieces have to be practical and beautiful. My costumes’ purpose is always to portray character through dress, in whichever way is most appropriate for that character.4. What would you call your style?My style is generally quite pared down and simplified. I believe that to create something inspiring and worthwhile, you must keep asking yourself through the process ‘do I need this element/that element’? Constantly question the purpose of each element. If there is no purpose, it is superfluous and does not add to the piece, but often will detract from the overall effect.5. How do you feel when people interpret your artwork differently?Everyone interprets art in their own way- there is no way anyone can feel the exact same thing as the creator, or even anyone else. It is not for me to worry or feel anything. As long as people appreciate it in some way, it does not matter what they feel, as it is personal.6. What are you looking most forward to from the LoVArts exhibition?I am really happy and privileged to be involved with the LoVArts exhibition. It is the first, and its really exciting to be a part of something that will grow and grow. I am looking forward most to seeing everybody’s work, and talking to them about it.Rose’s work will be presented at the “Chaos Control” showcase 11th of June at Cafe 1001, Brick Lane, London.

Artist’s statement: 

“The world seems to me increasingly incomprehensible, and there are times when I feel there isn’t anything that I know for certain. For me, making photographs (or painting, or whatever) is necessary to translate the unintelligible reality of being into a more coherent form. Or at least to illustrate my best guesses. There is vastly more nothing in the universe than something, and I try to create images that recognize the grace by which anything at all exists.”

Thursday: Luxury lacy lingerie day! Beautiful slips and cami-knickers from 1930s issue of ‘Les Dimanches de la Femme’! This article is advertising the various possible uses and placements of lace from Brittany, France. France has long been the maker of the finest lingerie lace in the world, and continues to be so.  I particularly love the typically 1930’s bias-cut fit and beautifully graphic seaming. The hairstyles are cute too!

1930s photo inspiration: I love the light in this fashion photograph. Combined with the set objects it looks like an old film, kind of surreal.  Taken from a 1930s copy of ‘Dimanches de la Femme’, French fashion magazine. The coat and hat are also obviously divine.
