The English National Ballet collaborates with Vivienne Westwood, in a creative brand campaign.
The campaign intends to capture through imagery how the English National Ballet is coming together with photographers, stylists and designers to interpret themes of individual shows.
The couture garments were selected from the Vivienne Westwood SS13 collection including the extensive archive. This was to reinforce the theme of combining modernity with tradition. Not only do they reference historical dressing and British culture, they also celebrate the human form with seductive yet elegant qualities.

Arabel Lebrusan, a Spanish jewellery designer and previously Creative Director at sustainable jewellery brand Leblas, now designs under her own name creating statement jewellery combining trend-led designs, fine jewellery and bespoke collections.
Graduated with a MA in Jewellery Design from Central St. Martins, Arabel is a trained gemologist which is apparent when you view her extensive collections.
With inspiration taken from her background and travels, Arabel made the choice of using Ethical and Fairtrade metals and stones, allowing beauty on the inside and outside of her jewellery.
My favourite collection is the 'Filigree' which use an artisan technique. Silver is translated into lace like patterns, delicately curving into the prettiest forms. These stunning pieces, all handmade, are made by Spanish artisans who were taught this special trade from their fathers and grandfathers before them.
My favourite piece is one of the most striking necklace. Hand assembled from over 60 pieces, the 'Lace Necklace' has fabulous movement and fluidity. Fragile in appearance this flattering necklace is guaranteed to add a dramatic touch to any outfit, especially when worn with a scoop neckline or strapless evening outfit. I would also style the Lace Necklace over a roll-neck jumper to add interest.
Arabel also offers a bespoke commission service, allowing you the opportunity to combine Arabel's design flair and your personal brief.
You will see my other picks by Arabel Lebrusan, below. You can 'shop the page' with the usual links at the bottom.

I fell in love with By Malene Birger nine years ago, while working at Foundation, a designer boutique in the Cotswolds, who stocked the brand. At this time I was also studying for my degree in Fashion Womenswear at London College of Fashion. With pattern and textiles at the heart of my specialism, I admired how By Malene Birger featured embroidery and surface pattern in all collections. This year the brand is celebrating their tenth birthday! The SS13 collection, aptly named 'The Celebration' contains many covetable pieces, whether printed silk dresses, textured fabrics or beading! I have featured, below, a few of my favourite 'new in' pieces!

I discovered Modalu during London Fashion Week in September. My eye was drawn to a style of bag now named the 'Pippa'.
The style previously known as the 'Bristol' was renamed to Pippa in tribute to Pippa Middleton after she was spotted using this style of handbag on the day after her sisters wedding.
The 'Pippa' bag is Modalu's most popular style and it is not hard to see why Miss Middelton favoured it. With multiple compartments and pockets it is the perfect bag for the modern woman.
I have other favourites from the Modalu collection, take a look at the page below to see other styles by my latest Handbag Crush!
