Fashion Vodka Mix

Gareth Pugh designs a limited edition Absolut vodka bottle! There is no end to fashion's influence on the world. The soon to be iconic bottle is designed to reflect fashion through it's 12 facets. Inspiration for his design for Absolut came from Pugh’s iconic ‘Stealth’ jacket, from his Autumn 2007 collection, transforming its jutting batwing-style shoulders, as modelled by McColl tonight, into a sheath for the bottle. The 'Stealth' jacket Pugh believes defines his early career.

The New Gypsies

Above are images of the 'New Gypsies' by Iain McKell that were displayed in the Fashion Space Gallery, May this year. He describes the new gypsies as British horse drawn travelers. A group of people seeking an alternative lifestyle to western society by moving from place to place as travelers are originally known for on horse drawn caravans. Photographer Iain McKell spent 10 years documenting and living with various travelers, he decribes these gypsies as 'punks in the landscape', born out of the 60's/70's. They do not share a common ethnographical origin, a spirituality or a political stand. They share an ideal that a different way of living is possible.
