As a great fan of the mannequin, nothing has disturbed me more than the rise of the mannequin without a face…these ‘robots’ that have arrived on mass in the high street over the past decade have given me the ‘he bee, gee bees’…every high street shop has them so there is no escape..& earlier this year Read More
So down at the Charity shop today – I sure was in for a big surprise! It certainly looked like Halloween had arrived in style according to Stephanie’s attire, even the door creaked slowly open, as I entered with dozen’s of cobweb’s landing on my head…& I was transported into this ‘midnight like’ but during Read More
Following on from my last post, I present here my favourite aspect of the LV series’s 3 exhibition the mannequins! Which I had fun ‘mirrorising’ in my appropriately named mirror app..:-) it was something I couldn’t resist really… they were the ‘perfect’ subject…The room in which they were displayed itself was ‘blinding’ oh yes pure Read More
On the second ‘leg’ of my journey (don’t think there will be a third..) around the Island I present here my findings in the form of ‘sketches’ via my ‘very latest’ app, I mean why ‘bother drawing’ them when I can app ‘snap’ them into a sketch form with just a click? (or am I Read More
So I’ve just been on another sojourn this time on the Isle of Man & what a fine time I had there too! The weather was excellent it only rained once! (maybe a record for a UK holiday…??) & I didn’t need one of those trusty rain hoods (as depicted in my Gucci up post https://philippanestie.com/gucci-up-2/) Read More
On a mission to do a friend a favour I was pleasantly surprised by Chanel’s mannequin display whilst in Selfridge’s London. I was there to make a quick visit & pick up a ‘ click & collect’ order, but well got distracted on the way… I’ve not been there for years & years (& to Read More
It was with great interest I read that the ‘High Gloss’ look from the late 1970’s disco era is about to make a resurgence. An article I read in ES magazine reported that fashion designer Marc Jacobs would be hosting a party to celebrate the launch of a book appropriately called ‘Gloss‘ by photographer Chris Read More
So my favourite style this season is what I would describe as the ‘Gucci look’, I was very impressed earlier this year with the new fashion director’s collection for S/S 15 so I‘d thought I’d better check in on what the latest was at the house of Gucci! I immediately headed to style.com & found Read More
A recent visit to the charity shop has revealed a possible new trend..so what do I spy with my ‘fashion eye’? Well Stephanie resplendent in a straw hat ‘suitably distressed’, yes the look is what I would describe as quite definitely ‘Hill Billy’. This is not a look that crops up in fashion very often Read More
So its all a ‘bloom’ on my local High St, with the ‘flowers of summer’ bursting forth from all directions on all manner of garments, yes floral is it seems ‘de rigueur’ in my locality (& yours too – this is the High St after all). Now we’re in the ‘height of summer’ this is no Read More
So its ‘Vive La France’ as Marianne ‘jumps onto Eurostar’ to join the French in their national holiday Bastille Day. Many celebrations are afoot & Ms Marianne does not want to miss out! So I booked her a ticket & well she was off! Her fashion look is ‘decidedly French‘ first choosing a beautiful floppy Read More
So feeling rather glum I decided to try & make myself feel better by getting ‘appy’ with it, & using as my inspiration TLC’s continuing ‘Friday brideday’ theme. This would of course include my two ‘fashion queens’ Stephanie & Marianne, so now all I had to do was turn these 2 models into brides, but the Read More
So now the time has come for the ‘unveiling’ of the ‘mysterious’ Marianne..aimed to coincide with the celebration of Ascot’s Ladies day, the face of my ‘RagAsh’ label is revealed..the net remains for just a fraction of a second, before the final lifting….on this ‘face of fashionable mystery’ the true beauty of Marianne is daringly Read More
So its Ladies day at Ascot this week & to mark this momentous occasion ( though can’t say I normally bother…some of the hats are amusing at least…) I am posting here a preview of the ‘Mysterious Marianne’…whose identity will be unveiled ‘to coincide with this highlight in the Sporting & Fashion calendar’ – So just Read More
Whilst doing some research online I had a look on pixabay a great resource for downloading images & for use copy right free! Of course I did a search under ‘Mannequins‘ (I just can’t help myself at times…) & what did I find?? Steph! Well not her exactly but her double! x 3! Yes here Read More
In reference to my previous post on the ‘Women Fashion Power’ exhibition I present Stephanie in what I would describe in a truly ‘blog-‘tastic‘ manner, in which I have made Stephanie ‘appear at the exhibition’ by the ‘magic’ of photo manipulation into the situation… & she truly deserves this honour! Not only does she earn Read More
