Very nice to have my collection Paradise Lost mentioned on the blog Clothes, Cameras and Coffee. Rosalind's feature entitled "I am a bird now" discusses the use of bird imagery in poetry and in fashion:
Maybe it’s a case of great minds thinking alike, but Olwen Bourke’s latest collection – entitled ‘Paradise Lost’ – also takes birds as one of its recurring themes. Each hand-made item uses re-claimed fabrics in part of the design. The use of a birdcage in the video is interesting. Birds are the ultimate symbol of freedom, but become poignant metaphors when in captivity - one of the messages also found in Alexander McQueen's SS01 collection. Some concepts are never old.
It seems Rosalind is as fascinated with birds as I am. Reading her piece reminded me to re-visit McQueen's incredible SS01 collection which can be viewed in the archives here: Alexander McQueen Archive
