I had the huge pleasure of working with Florence and the Machine front woman Florence Welch, such a talent and such a beauty, like one of the women in the Pre-Raphaelite paintings I obsessed over as a teenager.
If you haven't seen a live performance yet then you are really missing out.
It was also my first meetings with her stylist, the very lovely Aldene Johnson. Who invited me to design an outfit for Florence's head line performance at Latitude festival.
Here are loads of pics!
There are probably around 2000 separate beads on this out fit, you cant really see them in the pics but it's a labour of love that sadly I quite enjoy. Expect to see a lot more bead work soon.

JONNY WOO WEARS ALEX NOBLE FOR LOVE BOX FEST
The amazingly talented and surreal drag poet/performer/legend Jonny Woo asked me to create one of his many looks for the LOVEBOX festival.
I had wanted to work with Jonny for a long time as we are old friends so this was an exciting opportunity and it was to be worn on the main stage.
I had a few ideas but decided I wanted to create something inspired by our vibrant local area of Dalston, draw reference from carnivals, birds of paradise, Studio 54 and bondage of course!
This was the final result and I was very happy with it.

'What you think you're lookin at fagot' - (Jonny Woo)
I love the quality of this out of focus image, hot and melting like a summer festival.
Check it out in motion here at Vogue -

INTERVIEW BY FRED BUTLER
The very multi talented and lovey Fred Butler interviewed me for her blog Fred Butler Style
Here's a snippet - check out the full piece at her blog.
'Out the back of an antique furniture shop is an opening to the hidden treasure trove where the alchemist artist resides to rustle up his wares with a mix of stylistic sorcery. Centre stage in a shaft of light stands a couture silk gown pinned to a tailor's dummy undergoing extensive beading embroidery'.
