I’m Cooperating

IMG_1198 >> I’m going to do a fuller post on this but I just wanted to thank Cooperative Designs for even thinking I’m remotely creative enough to feature in their zine that accompanied their A/W 10-11 Strachen Blochen collection presented yesterday. I loved that they asked different people and collaborators to wear, photograph or represent a piece from their A/W 10-11 in their own unique way so that you get a compilation of various representations of Cooperative Designs’ pieces. The images were on display at their A/W 10-11 presentation as well as being printed as a photocopied zine.  I of course very happily cosied up in a giant stripy cardigan even if my images weren’t as artistically err… developed, as the following contributions…

  2. What a great collaboration! Loving especially the first outfit because even the background goes perfectly with the grey striping theme. (P.S. I would really, really like to know how it feels walking in these clunky Acne shoes.)

  4. Where you there yesterday around 11am? I’m pretty sure I was standing right next to you…?! And I didn’t say hello – I’m so annoyed with myself. I wanted to ask to take a photo of you in front of the other photos of you :'(

  12. Lovely! Acne and you go so well! The tie-dye trousers are fab and the dress with tulle underskirt is divine!

  42. oh i just love everything in this post! Such great clothes and styling!

  47. Have you heard about the “Avenue Debut Grand Givaway” I just entered and you should too! I can’t wait to win the $1000 shopping spree from LVCMag.com I need a new spring wardrobe with all the ideas I get from this blog!

  48. cv&v: Yup, all the shoes are mine. Most are lucky sample sale finds. The first one came to me via work! They’re really comfy…. I don’t wear the Nicholas Kirkwoods much though as they’re a wee bit big though when i tried them on, my feet seemed err…a bit swollen….
    The Marios Schwabs, I’ve worn a few times…. my shoes don’t generally get battered unless i wear them in the rain….

  54. Wow, what a gorgeous cardigan. I especially like it when paired with the Michael Angel dress. All that monochrome looks wonderful with the bright dress! The silhouette of the cardigan is lovely too. It looks like it is a full circle? I would love to snuggle up in it…

  56. Will that zine be for sale? Because it looks AWESOME, not least because of your superb outfits.

  59. I absolutely adore ALL of your outfits in this post! So lovely and whimsical like clouds but the edgy shoes definitely ground the outfits – in the best way 🙂

  67. i really love this cardigan, jackets in spring always feel a bit restrictive, it’s all about the cardigan you can snuggle in or drape loosely if it’s warm! sorry for late commenting i’m well behind on googlereader!

  75. Cardigan is looking so sweet. I especially like it when paired with the Michael Angel dress. All that monochrome looks wonderful with the bright dress! The silhouette of the cardigan is lovely too.

  86. Loving especially the first outfit because even the background goes perfectly with the grey striping theme. (P.S. I would really, really like to know how it feels walking in these clunky Acne shoes.)

  87. “Swagga and Soul leather fringe cape, Acne dress and tulle underskirt”-are the bestest,would love 2 wear. Nicholas Kirkwood shoes are simply awesome 🙂

  92. WOW! What a great and mind-boggling collection. Dolce & Gabbana trousers, Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, vintage plastic rainmac are just awesome. Loved all stuff soooooooooo much..

  97. That’s was really nice posting, what a gorgeous cardigan. I especially like it when paired with the Michael Angel dress. All that monochrome looks wonderful with the bright dress! Thanks for sharing with us…

  98. They are all gorgeous cardigan. Every outfit is so thought out. All that monochrome looks wonderful with the bright dress..

  100. I absolutely adore all of your outfits in this post! So lovely and whimsical like clouds but the edgy shoes definitely ground the outfits – in the best way..

  101. Wow, what a gorgeous cardigan. I especially like it when paired with the Michael Angel dress. All that monochrome looks wonderful with the bright dress! The silhouette of the cardigan is lovely too.
