Meet Black Flamingo

A couple weeks ago I had the lovely pleasure to meet the ladies of Black Flamingo.  I saw them play at a show that was right down the street from my studio.  Tropical Goths?? FUCK YEAH!!! these girls are all super cool and struck an instant cord of inspiration for me.  I gave them my info and was super stoked when they called me and asked if they could wear some of our clothes for a video they were making with The Wilcox Sessions.  They also have a blog documenting their adventures, that is definitely worth checking out.  


Heres some photos and the video.  Enjoy!!

Dress Up in London

Dress and Bag by Please Dress Up! 

  For the summer I decided to take a course at Central St. Martins.  I took an experimental fashion knitwear course and learned so many techniques.  I cant wait to get a knitting machine to knit up all sorts of different creations.  Grant currently has a  shoe design internship, which should be amazing.  Really excited to get back and produce some new designs.
  London has been so inspiring.  Art and Fashion around every corner.  I have mostly taken photos of art I have to admit.  And the fashion report here is that Top Shop rules the streets.  Can you blame them?

Love these photos

Earlier today I stumbled across these photos on Flickr.  It made me remember San Francisco and how much fun doing this shoot was.  I haven't been back there in over 2 years and I started wondering what these guys were still doing.  We used to live about 2 blocks away from this barber shop.  I would get my haircut there and always have some great conversations with all the guys working.  I love Curtis's "STOP Hating" shirt, we didn't need a stylist to pull that one off.

Way To Long.

I know it has been way to long since I have updated the blog but..  I did want to put out some of the new photos of the work Judy and I have been doing.  We are also working on getting the new site up again soon.   To See more please go to www.pleasedressup.com
