tiny little fingers: September 2008

Agyness is my MADAME

Just some pictures of the ad...

Agyness Inspired by Daaryl Hannah

With her incredible bone structure and platinum blonde hair supermodel Agyness Deyn is a trend setter.
But her latest look appears to owe at least a little inspiration to another style forward individual - Daryl Hannah's iconic look in the 1982 film Blade Runner.
The thick black glasses added to the dark gothic look, with her fashion forward black lace dress and warm duffel coat.

What a cut: Agyness Deyn shows off her incredible bone structure with a new
hairdo as she walks in Stockholm today

Inspiration? Agyness and Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner

But one thing that wasn't dark was Agness' mood. The 25-year-old was pictured
out and about in Stockholm in Sweden with her fiancé Albert Hammond Jr.
She
and the Strokes guitarist appeared blissfully happy as they walked in the late
September sunshine.

They shared a tender moment face to face by the car, staring lovingly into each others eyes.
Agyness is enjoying spending some time with Hammond after working hard on the runway at London Fashion show last week.
The Lancashire lass returned to London from her New York home to support her friends Henry Holland, at his House of Holland Show, and Giles Deacon, on the runway for Giles.

Albert Hammond Jr, share a kiss in Stockhohlm today

Sheesh..

That "coming right up" deal turned into 6 months..hehe..

Summer is now long gone...

But boy has it been QUITE the six months. See, the tv show has consumed half my time, half my energy and it has been almost ALMOST like selling my soul to the anti-fashion devil.

I mean, what was I thinking?!! If I wanted to be taken seriously as a "fashion consultant" in my town, I couldn't go all Carrie Bradshaw on them! :P

It has been great for all the other stuff, though. The public speaking fear is almost gone, I'm learning how to react to negative criticism...apparently, drowning in tears is not an option! Hahaha...However, a ton of unexpected events: main presenter had an emergency operation done (kidney removal), a few cat fights with a troubled presenter who got kicked out (I was just a spectator, really) etc...

Bottom line: Carolina and myself are the only 2 presenters left, in charge of ALL sections: health, fashion, home, social life! And what in the world do I know about social life?! Or health?...Only a couple of tips picked up from Vanidades or Cosmo, perhaps. :P

I have fallen in love with hectic days, the people and the running around everywhere and going nuts.

The vintage clothing for the vintage online shop hasn't seen the light of day in the past months. Hehee, except for a couple of items I couldn't resist on keeping for myself :P

But the rest are sitting there, waiting for me to get tired of "growing up" and "becoming independent"...collecting dust in the mean time.

skirt=stolen from the forbidden closet.

red clutch=couldn't help it.
and that one purple skirt. I'm predicting this thing will wear out with all the washing.

I'm learning to organize my time, and I'm hoping it's okay that my style has become a bit more I'm going to say sophisticated rather than boring than the usual, even if it's somewhat obligated.

homemade skirt. (thankyou diane for the prettiest bag in the world!)

Ohhhhhhhhh and Carolina (the other presenter), is a class away from graduating and becoming an ARCHITECT. She doesn't think my fashion day dreams are nonsense, she likes my slutty shoes and bags that smell like the 80s and never pressures me to get a french manicure instead of my usual odd or dark colors. We're mucho close.

She's had a tough life but her smile is intact.

looky...there's that dress I made...again.

I know I promised a video, but I'm too embarassed to do so! I will do it though. Later...waaaay later :)

Ahhhh and news! We had our first ever Honduran Fashion Week! I thought it would be a reeeally good thing, but like most artistic events in our country, the hype ended the same day it begun. So all there's left are a few pictures on people's facebooks. Boooo! I wasn't even able to go. Darn thing called a JOB. Anyway, here's a BLOG with the rest. YOU be the judge.

As for Sewing school.

I took a break from it, but one of the girls called me yesterday that they want me to come over on Thursday to teach them to model for their final presentation. Um, I can't walk a block without tripping so I'm taking Carolina. =) It'll be fun. So far I've only revamped a few of my clothing items and made cushions to decorate the tv set...I can't wait to come back to school next year, though!

It feels good to blog again...and it feels so good to read such nice comments. Even better than finding the perfect pair of trousers. Thankyou everyone.

xoxo,

Fabi

p.s. excuse the blurry pictures. my photographer is only nine.

Look, no underwear

Nothing (left) to see here: Agyness Deyn and Jaime Winstone cut a rug on the dancefloor in their see-through outfits at the Henry Holland post-shoe party

There was no need for X-Ray specs at one London Fashion Week party last night when Agyness Deyn and Jaime Winstone stepped out in see-through outfits.
The Mancunian model, 25, paid her best friend, designer Henry Holland the highest compliment by choosing to wear one of his dresses to the after-party, after spending the evening walking down the catwalk in his designs.
While her actress pal Jaime kept the lower half of her body covered up in a purple and black mini-skirt, she exposed her breasts in a totally transparent sheer top.

After watching another model strut down the catwalk at his Spring/Summer '09 show, Agyness clearly liked one dress so much she asked her pal if she could wear it to the after-party at the Bloomsbury Ballroom.
The dress, which comprised of 15 denier nylon, included four polka-dot circles of material strategically placed to protect Agyness's modesty... just about.

Larking around: Agyness and TV presenter pal Alexa Chung give a thumbs-up to the paparazzi as they leave the after-party in a taxi

Adding a bit of colour to her outfit, Agyness teamed the barely-there dress with hot pink ankle socks, a black straw hat and the same sporty high heels she had worn on the catwalk.
While it's up for discussion whether Agyness pulled off the transparent look, the dress was clearly only made for the super skinny.
Jaime, who has done some modelling herself, was one of the front row guests at the Henry Holland show earlier that evening.

After all her hard work on the catwalk, Agyness and Jaime spent hours on the dancefloor with their famous friends Alexa Chung, Nick Grimshaw, Pixie Geldof and Daisy Lowe.
Despite the cool September evening temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, Agyness looked far from cold as she larked around outside the Ballroom for photographers with her TV presenter pal Alexa.
Notably absent at the bash was Agyness's rocker boyfriend (and rumoured fiance) Albert Hammond Jnr, who had been inseparable from the model at the Giles Deacon show just 24 hours earlier.
Perhaps the Strokes musician had sat last night to give Agyness some time to catch up with her friends.

Lucky Nick Grimshaw becomes the tasty filling in an Agy/Alexa dancefloor
sandwich.

"What do you mean, you haven't got any Arctic Monkeys?" shrieks Alexa at Agy and Grimmy.

Giles Deacon Party

By Jody Thompson, Mirror.co.uk 17/09/2008

The stars have been out in force over the past few days at a galaxy of parties and catwalk shows for London Fashion Week.
Style-obsessed celebrities have been surveying the very latest creations from the most fashionable designers - probably to give them a few pointers about what to wear next time they hit the red carpet.
Jo Wood left estranged Rolling Stone husband Ronnie in rehab to take Leah out to one bash, Sir Paul McCartney has been squiring new girlfriend Nancy Shevell around town, while Agyness Deyn has been showing off Strokes boyfriend Albert Hammond Jnr to all and sundry when she's not been pounding the catwalk.

More of Agyness in NY Fashion Week

Where has Agyness been in this NY Fashion Week?

Agyness Deyn likes to bend the rules when it comes to fashion - and smoking.

The model was caught lighting up a cigarette as she relaxed backstage at Anna Sui's New York Fashion Week catwalk show yesterday despite the presence of a 'No Smoking' sign.

She brazenly flouted the ban inside the Bryant Park tent, with organisers apparently turning a blind eye.

Earlier, Agyness walked the catwalk at the designer's brightly coloured show, which featured matador details and Aztec prints.

The blonde has been in high demand this week, modelling for designers Narciso Rodriguez and Carolina Herrera in recent days.

She's also managed to find time to be a spectator - she attended Costello Tagliapietra's catwalk show earlier this week accompanied by her brother Greg.

A host of celebrities have turned out for Fashion Week this year, including Victoria Beckham, fellow Spice Girl Mel B, actress Jessica Alba and Gossip Girl star Blake Lively.
