Crazy Scottish Designer!

Louise Gray is an emerging fashion designer from Fraserburgh, Scotland. Her collections hold a great sense of Imperfectlyperfect Fashion with clashes of eccentric mess throughout. Louise studied textile design at The Glasgow School of Art and Central Saint Martins. She has had design collaborations with Cotton USA, Judy Blame, Nicholas Kirkwood, the Smiley Company and Crown Paint. With having a sponsorship from the Centre for Fashion Enterprise, it is clear to see that Louise Gray is having much success. Louise was also sponsored by NEWGEN at London Fashion Week and will be selling her stock at the V&A shop this Autumn.

Here is her Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. She states in an interview with NEWGEN, that inspiration from the collection came from, "Freedom, technology, mirages and sunny days."

Louise brands her signatures as,

“Colour, textures, hand silk screened, specially developed fabrics in woven, embroidered and printed techniques.”

She describes her typical client as, “Ultimately someone who is fun.”

A consistent use of textile methods showcases Louise's eccentric and personal style wonderfully!

Love this outfit! Works really well together and has a huge inspiration of the 80's!

Miu Miu Love!

Without a doubt my favourite collection of S/S 12!

Miu Miu have never really caught my eye until now, and I have fallen for it all. The simplistic and understated style lines, with cuteness and quirk driven through with a passion. The patterns with such deep and jewel colouring all seem to bewilder me. The use of textiles and contrasting textures add a hidden depth that balances out fantastic!

I will be keeping a close eye on Miu Miu from now on I think!

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2012 Advertising Campaign

Fantastic back colour for photo shoot. Adds fun, excitement and quirkiness to the campaign!

A clear sense of Japanese influence with a mix of decades from the 40's to the 70's!

Exciting!

On The Catwalk Spring/Summer 2012 Miu Miu Collection

Lace is a huge component this season with many designers jumping for it! However I have not seen much that is not coated in pastel tones.

Love the edge to Miu Miu's dark hues with lace!

Tribal also made a welcoming comeback to the catwalk. Miu Miu has touched on this slightly, which pleases me as I am not a fan of tribal wear! (Too Much Print)

Beautiful mini capes were seen a many at Miu Miu's S/S12 Show. The look is elegant and cute and looks adorable with this shift dress!

Minimalist Tailoring had a great reaction throughout the designers and this outfit is a must for achieving that eccentric professional!

Beautiful shimmer in this silk minimalist coat.

Absolutely love it and I am considering making a coat of a similar style!

Patchwork Printing Mix Up! Again Miu Miu has embraced a signature piece throughout of the ribbon tie on the neckline. Simplicity which works fantastic!
