After a lazy Sunday breakfast, Ed and I made our way over to the Royal Academy to see the Anish Kapoor retrospective. Like a rock concert, the queue for the exhibition snaked its way outside the gallery and across into the grand plaza. In total we waited outside for about 20 minutes to get in but it was well worth the wait.

The exhibition highlighted monumental pieces throughout Kapoors career. The most memorable was the piece named Svayambah , sanskit word meaning “self generated’, which moves slowly through the galleries staining the breath of each of the spaces it enters. Another sensual piece was “Yellow”, an inverted yellow nipple covering the entire wall of the gallery. The visual richness of Kapoors work reflects the wealth his Indian heritage coupled with a violent surreal sexuality that rippled its way through each of the gallery halls.

I felt incredibly privileged seeing his work outside of library books and would highly recommend anyone living in London to go and see the exhibition.

Christopher Kane at Topshop

Lazy Leopards

I far prefer people wearing animal print when no one else is wearing it. So considering its not been in any AW09 shows recently and I haven't seen it in the highstreet; I would suggest going round to your local charity shop and grabbing yourself a leopard or two.

Love:Eds Fleece

Ok, so the winter has hit us! Yes we've had no summer, no sunshine, no sizzling evenings spent sitting with friends on the pavement in our local pub, no bikini bathers basking in victoria park, no kids swimming in the heath, no running around in a carefree manner in flip flops or gladiators greeting people randomly, no frisbees, no footballs, no rugby , no cricket, no nothing. After being trapped indoors for nearly eight months we have nothing to show for it. Absolutely nothing. No summer quotes, no memory books, no greeting cards or letters, no nothing. So Ed W, came in wearing a fleece waistee last night, inspiring this post. Love the featured denim waistee with a fleece lining.
