Ellen Rogers

London-based, Norfolk native Ellen Rogers is one of those photographers that you come across and become so awe inspired, so mesmerised that you can't stop looking at her images. Well at least that is how I feel when I discovered her beautifully haunting photographs. Her images are at once dark, soft, evocative and deeply memorable - like something you've seen before but can't place.

One of the things that makes her images even more unique and somewhat rare in this digital age is the fact she only workings with analogue techniques and equipment, even creating her own darkroom chemicals. The beautiful photographs that come out of this are layered with a powerful sense of history.

Ellen Rogers is truly a talented woman.

Damir Doma Women's SS13

Love these backstage photos from Damir Doma Women's Spring Summer 2013 runway show. The beauty was captured by Adam Katz Sinding.

Decay

Decaying flowers by Billy Kidd. Death can be so beautiful. 

Agathe and Seraphine's House

I just stubbled upon on one of the greatest editorials of all time! It is no secret that I love Nick Knight's work, his photographs of flowers make me swoon. On a recent lurking of the internet I discovered "Agathe and Seraphine's House". 

Nick Knight collaborates with Dinos Chapman and a cast of fashion's finest to create "Agathe and Seraphine's House", an eery editorial spread for the first issue of Garage magazine. Inspired by twisted images of Chapman's daughters' dollhouse, Knight brings these visions to like - and life-size - using model Lily Donaldson in an elaborate one-off shoot. 

The action unfolding in a life-size doll's house specially devised by set designer Gary Card. Toying with proportions and with propriety, and giving the innocence of choldhood a slant of seedy sexuality and black humour. 

I love Blythe-esque big eyes and bigger heads. This would have to be the greatest thing I have seen!

Joanna Szkiela x Ovate

Possibly one of the best collaborations. Joanna Szkiela and Audrey Cantwell of Ovate have worked together to create these beautiful pieces that work so well with Ovate's SS12 -13 collection. I'm in love (predictably), I'm trying to decide which ring I would like. I'll probably choose the Algiz Ring. It's a hard decision though, ideally I would like them all. 

"Too Cool for School" by Nikolay Biryukov

Current and former students of Central St. Martins find their designs featured in this super cool editorial shot by Nikolay Biryukov for their design school blog "1 Granary".

Seriously cool! I'm a huge fan of the chunky piercings.  

La Grande Noirceur - Ovate

I've blogged about Ovate before but I can't help but share some more from the amazing Audrey Cantwell! 

Ovate's latest collection "La Grande Noirceur" is absolutely drool worthy. I'm metaphorically foaming at the mouth over these beautiful pieces. And I'm happy to see the cloak making a come back! I adore my cloak she made me. 

Pamela Love, Love, Love!

New York native Pamela Love started her jewellery career in 2006 as a result of never being able to find jewellery to suit her style. She began making her own darkly wonderful creations, working primarily out of her Brooklyn apartment's basement. 

It wasn't long before her innovative, distinctive creations caught the eye of trendsetters worldwide and her newfound passion became a full-time business.

 Pamela Love draws inspiration from many of her favourite artists. Her creativity is further fuelled by her passion for nature and science, as well as astronomy, astrology, religion, magic and folk jewellery. 

Passionate about both her design and practice, she continues to experiment with unique and exotic materials, while exploring new techniques to make her challenging and extravagant designs a reality.

Love defies traditional categories of fine or costume jewellery through the use of materials ranging from brass and leather to 14-karat gold and precious stones. 

Her collections, like Pamela herself, blend mystery with romance, reminiscent of stories both whimsical and dark. 

Two of my favourite pieces of jewellery I own are by Pamela Love. Once you buy one of her pieces you want another and another! I would kill for a talon cuff! But I decided against murder and settled with a talon ring!

If you live in Brisbane and would like to touch, hold, buy a Pamela Love piece you can find a few of her key pieces at Fallow in Fortitude Valley. Alternatively you can buy one off Fallow's new and improved online store here.

The second and last photos are by Matt Bradshaw. 

Gareth Pugh and Nick Knight

I absolutely love, love, love Gareth Pugh and Nick Knight. And this collaboration between the two talented gentlemen is to die for. 

The October issue of DAZED & CONFUSED presented Gareth Pugh's AW 08/09 collection in a most elaborate, dark and mystical vision by Nick Knight. The material was then used to create a short film with Ruth Hogben, accompanied by collective artist Matthew Stone's sound. The hypnotising creation is entitled INSENSATE. 

Featuring Abbey Lee, styling from Katie Shillingford, hair by Martin Cullen and make up by Alex Box. 

Anndra Neen

Anndra Neen is the collaboration of two amazingly talented sister, Phoebe and Annette Stephens. 

Growing up in Mexico City the girls were surrounded by artists. They gained much inspiration from their Grandmother, Annette Nancarrow who married Conlon Nancarrow, an avant-garde composer. She herself was a painter, sculptor and jewellery designer who collaborated with the Muralist Movement in Mexico. Her pieces were collected by Anais Nin among others. 

While attracted to their Grandmother's eclecticism, the sisters have drawn on their own interpretations of antique European jewellery, ancient Egyptian motifs, Japanese design elements and Bauhaus graphics to create a vision all their own. 

Each piece is unique and hand crafted of both mixed metals and silver by artisans in their workshop in Mexico City.

Anndra Neen continuously pushes boundaries with their beautiful designs. 

I've been in love with Anndra Neen since seeing their amazing cage clutch at Fallow.
