My Little Pony Hair

BLEACH London, hair mecca for the undone hipster, has long been credited with the massive trend of grungey, washed out hair colour in interesting shades.

Hair in pastel colours has been around for ages, the My Little Pony Hair tumblr has a collection of some of the best examples.

Since Gaga went turquoise earlier this month, expect rainbow hair to spread from the sinks of hipsters and emos to the mainstream in a semi-big way soon.  

N.B. It's important to add that the grey outfit she's wearing in this picture is by recent Birmingham City University graduate Rebecca Short, who sent the dress to the popstar's stylist at this year's Graduate Fashion Week in London.  Well done Rebecca! 

Below is a tumblry style picture of my own barnet.  I've been growing my roots out since December so applied Directions semi permanent conditioning hair paint in Alpine Green to the previously bleached half of my hair.  It's a vibrant green at first but as it's semi-permanent, there is the added benefit of getting a slightly different shade after every wash.  This is 4 weeks worth of washing out. 



Jiggery Pokery

Loads of love for Jiggery Pokery's signature surreal set design and art direction on Toddla T's new video featuring Roots Manuva.


Toddla T - Watch Me Dance with Roots Manuva.

Jiggery Pokery are set designing slash art directing London duo Anna Lomax and Lauren Davies who have been working together since meeting on the BA Illustration course at Brighton University.  The pair have undertaken big campaigns for clients as far ranging as Selfridges, Nando's and The Independent; you might remember their make-up themed window for Topshop Oxford Circus Concessions.

Previous work also includes a colour coded rainbow of books designed for the shop window of YCN reading library which was later exhibited in the 2010 Brit Insurance Design Awards at the Design Museum. 

The Jiggery Pokery + YCN relationship remains strong with their latest collection currently on sale via their website shop.  From handmade cushion stacks to hamburger bicycle bells, 'Eat Fast Die Young' gives a loud and clear "BORE OFF" to healthy eating and finds inspiration in the pair's nostalgic fondness of fast food and the associated design culture.

The wall they created on digital jumble sale webiste Supermarket Sarah was one of the most memorable, with their mannequin heads being a particular highlight.

And with that, I'm off to buy some glitter pens.

adidas Originals by Originals Jeremy Scott

I don't know what's happening to me of late but I have put my all-consuming obsession with tennis wear on hold for a teeny tiny while and have started to get a little too OCD over OTT streetwear, in particular, trainers.  These cavegirly Jeremy Scott Originals for adidas are incredible.



Fun.  And if you're a 90's kid desperately missing Sooty & Sweep, or purely have a penchant for panda footwear, Jeremy has put Soo (what a woman) on some shoes to accommodate for you too.

Can't help wishing there were a little pair of Louis Vuitton-esque PVC panda ears to complete the look though... Still, amaze. 



And, just so you know, these little blighters are my new kicks.  I never thought I could love a pair of shoes as much as a brogue, boot, pump or heel... and in a size 3 from the Juniors section at JD Sports = tax free.  Love.

First Ever Animated Tattoo

The first bar-coded tattoo by Karl Marc from the "Mystery Tattoo Club" in Paris.  This artistic innovation is a combination of tattoo design and technology, which is part of 'Ballantines' Human API Project' for their 'Leave an Impression' promo.

Scanning a matrix code, your phone will then connect to a site which contains an animation for the tattoo.

Look out for the Graffiti version using spray art and technology on Thursday July 14th 2011.
