Papa Stour

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...I recently discovered this Scottish designer, Rosie Brown, whilst looking through Elle Decoration. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art before creating her shop, Papa Stour, in 2005, within the beautiful fishing village of Pittenweem in Fife. Papa Stour searches to expose and sell works from some of Scotland's newest and brightest young artists and designers. Below are some photographs taken by James Merrell, which Rosie Brown has styled.

THE dress


The dress Kate Middleton would wear to walk down the aisle to marry Prince William, was today revealed, after months of speculation and secrecy regarding the fashion designer. The dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, featured hand-made lace applique, created by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace. The dress was absolutely perfect for the day, featuring a strapless corset, narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips, a signature style of McQueen. Sarah Burton commented, "delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design, we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day."

These images by artist, Inge Jacobson, are concerned with the reaction of mass imagery in the world. She uses women's high fashion magazines and pornographic images from the internet, and creates an intervention with collage, embroidery and cutting. "Another theme and concept I’m exploring in my work is the ‘objectness’ of a photograph. By bringing the surface of the image to the attention of the viewer I want them to acknowledge the pieces as objects rather than just images. It seems appropriate to do so using fashion magazines as women are often objectified within them. I believe the same is also true of porn, and I try to explore this using sewing and embroidery which is largely seen as a feminine craft. The work has political connotations whilst allowing the viewer to decide whether the work is a critique of the fashion industry or pornography or something more celebratory. I would also hope that the viewer might see an element of humour in the work."
