Luella 4eva

As some of you may know, earlier this year I did a four month internship in the press office at Luella, and I still consider the girls there to be very close friends (one of them is also my housemate). Needless to say the shut down is absolutely devastating news, not because I have any fear that they won't all go on to even more amazing things, but because this season was the very best ever and there probably won't be any more for quite a while. I wasn't even going to mention the whole sad turn of events until I saw this:

I might as well just make this into a Fifi Lapin fanblog right now. Here are some more of my favourite Luella/Fifi outfits from the last two years.

Last Thursday my boss bought roughly 200 Fifi Lapin Christmas cards from Topshop to send to all of our contacts and friends. It is definitely fate that I ended up working here...

This set from Linus Ricard reminds me of my New Year's Eve party from last year. I don't think I need to say any more than that.

I know it's tempting for a lot of people to stick to a very neutral home decor for fear of being too garish or wacky. These pictures show how much of a waste a cream wall is. I think clashing pastels might be just for a girl's house- I can't see a man happy inside these walls. I think they're dreamy.

Lauri Faggioni

Laura Faggioni is a director, production designer and artist who has worked extensively with Michel Gondry since he asked her to make props for his films (including the horse in Science of Sleep!). I love her stop motion style, as seen below in the award-winning video for A Ribbon, which she directed, and the trailer for Science of Sleep. I also think her stuffed felt birds and sea creatures are the optimum mix of creepy and adorable.
