SARAH ANGOLD FOR DAVID KOMA SPRING 2012
Following the success of her first two jewellery ranges, designer Sarah Angold (portrait photo above) collaborated with David Koma for Spring 2012 producing striking womenswear with structural acrylic detailing and dynamic accessory pieces to match.
Other pieces from Angold's own jewellery collections have been on show during New York Fashion Week as part of Faster by Mark Fast's presentation at Milk Studios, New York.
Angold's Spring 2012 pieces were showcased at Tent London. The architectural style of layering and mathematical graduation finds its inspiration in the London skyline and the geometric shapes of the city's construction sites. Her fascination with material innovation can be seen in the studio's inventive use of laser cut acrylic, non precious metals and industrial fastenings.
Sarah Angold Studio houses a multidisciplinary team with professional experience across ten different design sectors, from fashion to product and vehicle design. The broad scope of the studio's work including lighting (photo above by Jody Stewart at Tent London) is clearly an influence on the structure and materiality of the jewellery pieces.

ATHENS FASHION WEEK - CHARALAMPOS NIKOLAOU SPRING 2012
Today designer Charalampos Nikolaou presented his first collection at the Athens Fashion Week and of course I was there to take backstage and catwalk pictures. The concept of the show was the contradiction between faith and sin. Great outfits matched with gorgeous headpieces by D'Arcy Foxx who did the styling of the show.

NICOLAS ARISTIDOU SHOOTING DELIGHT S/S12
Photographer Nicolas Aristidou shot part of the DElight Spring 2012 collection in Paris earlier this month. You could probably tell I am obsessed with DElight, given that I posted their spring collection recently. But can you really blame me? I think not.
