<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; font-size: 9pt;">Space is something that is everywhere. In-between your fingers, under
your table, that separation between you and your next-door neighbours by form
of a fence. Nevertheless there are many forms of space, despite the obvious;
physical space, space within space, the illusion of space, positive &
negative space, metaphorical space, literal space, and the emotion space
creates, the list is endless. Yet, the question that occurs to so many people
in everyday life, what is space? Or direct to this essay that I precede with,
what is an installation? This too comes with an endless list of different
forms, which I choose not to tire you with. To me an installation come’s in a
number of arrangements, which I intend to explore throughout.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">One of the ways in which physical space can be used as an instillation
is through the illusion of space that can be created. An example of how the
illusion of space can be created is through the use of mirrors. Mirrors are
used as everyday objects in houses, cars and are usually used as a form of
reflection on oneself. However, in this case I am talking about mirrors as an
illusion. I have come across a number of artists who use mirrors creating the
illusion of more space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">One of which, is the incredible
Yayoi Kusama, who over the years has explored the use of mirrors and how they
create the illusion of space<i>. </i>Kusama’s
focus for seemingly endless space has been a large focus in her epic body of
work over the previous decades. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Infinity
mirror room </span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">is an exhibition which uses hundreds of LED lights,
reflecting off mirrors creating an illusion of space that goes on for infinity.
The room creates the illusion of an ambitious scale of space, bouncing off
countless mirrors resulting in repeated images. Nevertheless it is a space that
doesn’t leave you with that sense of emptiness and loneliness, which you would
expect from such a large ‘space.’ The illusion only makes that space feel
fuller, due to the hundreds of LED lights, cleverly filling up the room, and
creating limitless space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">However, it is not only mirrors that Kusama uses to create more space,
but water too. Her 2002 exhibition of <i>Fireflies
on the water</i>,<i> </i> combines lights, mirrors and water, (above) an
example of another one of her magnificent instillations creating space in which
viewers can enter and explore. The room which in fact looks endless can only be
viewed by one person at a time, with a maximum time limit of one minute, with
the door shut behind you. One unexpected emotion that the room creates can be
claustrophobia, yet at the same time unlimited space by sight. The room almost forces you to look at
yourself, seeing only your reflection staring back at you, going on for
infinity. In a sense, the room leaves you with a time of contemplation; an
interesting choice of deliberate decision by the artist, suggesting that behind
the installation is a deeper meaning. The use of taking such a small initial space
and transforming it into something which appears to go on for infinity is an

Richard Wilson, whose permanent instillation at the renowned Saatchi gallery
has caused quite an interest since the work opened. <i>20:50</i> is a <i>Tardis-like </i>permanent
exhibition, focusing on the architectural space of how the internal aspects of
the room have no boundaries when it comes to the physical space of the installation.
He uses mirrors and unexpected architecture to create the illusion of a bigger
and endless space. Wilson first became interested in the horizontal surface of
pools, and then was intrigued in oil due to its reflective surface. The gallery
is filled to waist height with recycled engine oil, hence the name of the installation.
All aspects viewed of the gallery appears as a <i>holographic field; </i>the polished floor, endless clear pool, as well
as the infinite space that is created by the use of mirrors, reflecting the
magnificent architecture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kusama’s <i>Infinity mirror room, </i>nevertheless
incomprehensible in your mind-like Richard Wilsons 20:50. Yet it is this
enigmatic confusion that intrigues people about this illusion, making them
almost seem magical; something which is definitely true with Kusama’s mirrored
instillations, especially through the eyes of a child, in a magical wonderland
of lights and illusions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Space within space is another aspect
that interests me. The quite usually missed space that is created in-between
objects. A fallen tree, the space around this tree is quite often the centre of
attention, what did it affect what are the effects? Yet the space in-between is
often missed, the hidden space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">One artist I discovered who captures
this ‘hidden space’ through photography is Mathew Merrett. The physical space that
he chooses capture is not only the significant space, but the emotions and
impact they leave you with, all through his photographs alone. He focuses
mainly on urban decay, subject to the elements and neglect, capturing what once
was, bringing together the past and present of his chosen locations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">One of my favourite projects of his is his photographs from
the Chernobyl disaster, where there was a nuclear explosion, still being a
dangerous location to visit. Both Merrett and fellow photographer Olena Sullivan
visited the now abandoned site, with sites of only devastation and what once
was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">He shows these sites of destruction and abandoned
class-rooms, fair grounds, and hospitals both their past and present, using
their uninhibited spaces and objects. Merrett uses a combination of
perspective, distance and light, which are portrayed through his photographs. In
a lot of his photographs he uses a distinct and definite disappearing point, and
strict symmetry, giving them a sense of direction and proportion, only
directing the sense of space. He shows this ‘hidden space’ naturally, in fact,
without even trying, just showing it as he expresses and brings together the
past and present, with the central abandoned objects in a mammoth sense of
space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Yet hidden space is just as it sounds, hidden, and found
everywhere when looked for; in-between, under and even over. However, it is not
an obvious example of physical space, but nevertheless, a form of space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Other than types of space, there are different ways that
physical space can be used; whether it is a large space with very little in it,
or a small space filled to the brim. Similarly again to both Mathew Merrett and
‘hidden space,’ positive and negative space is a feature that links in with
physical space and the installations they are placed in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of positive and negative space, as well as linking it into ‘hidden space,’ and
exploring the different ways physical space can be used. The British sculptor
explores using traditional casting methods which are normally used in the
preparation of sculptures rather than the finished object, such as plaster,
rubber and resin. She makes sculptures of the spaces in, under and on everyday
objects. Her art operates on many levels, capturing unexpected areas such as
unfamiliar spaces; a sink, bath, mattress or chair, fossilising everyday
objects in the absence of human usage. It is her choice of subject matter which
creates the enigmatic use of space, resulting in positive and negative areas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

architectural installations inside, but on and in buildings too. As one of
Britain’s most renowned sculptors, Wilson created an ambitious five story high
work at the London school of Economics and Political Science. <i>Square the Block,</i> has been installed on
the northwest exterior of the LSE’s new academic building, becoming a
spectacular outdoor sculpture that both mimics and subtly subverts the existing
building. The work continues Wilson’s approach to sculpture, referencing the
existing architectural context in a similar way to his acclaimed piece for the
Liverpool Biennale, <i>Turning the Place
Over </i>a temporary installation lasting only for a year. Wilson is known for
his architectural works drawn heavily from inspiration of engineering and
construction. An 8m diameter egg-shape cut from the front of the building, a
new form of structure, bring sculptures and Art together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Institutional spaces have always been something which
intrigue me. The extreme space of a room, brought back down with perspective,
symmetry and lighting; shown in both painting and photography, expressed by
Mathew Merrett, but more directly to my next paragraph I direct this to, Olafur
Eliasson. Exploring structure and ‘happenings,’ Eliasson looks at institutional
aspects of a room, such as his piece; <i>your
strange certainty still kept. </i>This installation consists of </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">an empty, dark and silent room, where drops of falling water are lit by
the rhythmic flashing of strobe lights, creating the effect that gravity has
been suspended. He uses physical space in a more abstract way, which he
explores through installations. Another one of his works being, <i>Lava Floor, </i>an exhibition which
consisted of lava rock covering the floor of the lobby of the exhibition space.

uneven surface to reach the galleries. Eliasson often attempts to bring nature
into the exhibition space, in such a way that makes the visitor physically
engage. A different way in which Eliasson explores space is through his
‘happenings’ or get-togethers, where </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">scientists, artists, scholars,
dancers, theorists, spatial practitioners, and movement experts come together to
share, discuss, present, and experiment. These meetings are only loosely
planned in advance and are largely left to intuition and spontaneous moments.
The happenings are now almost annual, and named <i>Life is Space.</i></span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

which intrigues me the most. The hypothesis which first arose that the world
was round in Greek astronomy has ever since left our imaginations visualising a
permanently rotating globe. The idea that the Globe, the planet we live on, is
left spinning for eternity, is an ideology many cannot imagine or understand, travelling
the world for perpetuity. The idea that space is endless, never reaching the end,
is almost haunting. A space so big that none of us can even imagine. This
almost creates a blue emotion, endless, like a story book never coming to an
end; people don’t like to be left not knowing the outcome, a story that never
ends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dots, and her theory that they are infinite. With her life dedicated to
spherical shapes, the ideology that her polka dots are infinite has been the
theme leading to many or her unquestionable works. The 80-year old avant-garde
genius has been battling with hallucinations ever since childhood, being
diagnosed with “obsessive neurosis,” </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; font-size: 9pt;">denotes a condition in
which the patients mind is intruded upon (against their will) by images, ideas,
or words. Despite this the Japanese artist has painted some of the most
visually complex and conceptually provocative paintings, in the world today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; font-size: 9pt;">Kusamas
<i>Infinity Nets </i>are a prime example of
her obsessive use of spaces. Paintings “without beginning, end or centre, the
entire canvas would be occupied by a monochromatic net. This endless repetition
caused a kind of dizzy, empty, hypnotic feeling.” The result is a design that
is neither random nor systematic; </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">reminding one of a river in which the
rise, fall, and direction of the glistening surface is shaped by the structure
of the riverbed. Generally, these marks curve
in the same direction while gradually shifting up, down, left, or right. This
fine detail shown by the excessive use of tiny polka dots, further explores the
different ways in which space can be used expressed. In this case by the fine
movement in colour, and minute sized polka dots. Her attempt to make the
invisible visible is explored not only through <i>Infinity Nets</i>, but through her Mirrored installations, which I thankfully
choose not to bore you with, in my repetition of delight for her mirrors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The emotion or
sensation that you feel when you enter a room is created by the use of space
around, and in it. The feeling that an installation can create within a
physical space, is just one more aspect to space, that I wish to investigate.
Whether it is a colossal, remote, extensive space of emptiness, or the sense of
claustrophobia, most installations create an emotion within its physical space.

is Anselm Kiefer. He explores vast and never ending spaces through texture and
scale, and is someone whose work has had a huge impact on me, emotionally. It
is when you see his works in life form, which I experienced at his exhibition
at The White Cube Gallery; consisting of vast, bigger than life paintings and
sculptures. Their settings and physical environments that they were located in
were, if anything, the most important features to the works. Located in a
series of humungous, blinding white rooms, the exhibition hung the oversized
paintings on an even bigger backdrop of again, empty white walls, matched with
the bare space of reflective polished marble. The setting of the exhibition
only further created impact, as well as a distinct sense of remote and
loneliness. Almost an empty, drained feeling and atmosphere within the whole
gallery, as the setting was matched with the eerie noise of silence. It was the
paintings themselves that created a similar impact, yet this time more of destruction
and even sadness. The physical attributes of life size objects hanging off some
of the paintings only drew me in further, wanting to touch and explore the
painting. The use of perspective and texture gave a centre point, again drawing
me closer to the painting, in addition to giving it a focus point. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and subtle approach, with relatively simple and obvious paintings. For example,
<i>TV Room V, </i>a modern interior, which
gives you the chance to imagine and decide on the outcome and meaning of the
painting. His silent empty spaces explore locations that we can all relate to,
but in very different circumstances and ways. His bland rooms are empty of human presence,
yet filled with an atmosphere of melancholy and hidden stories. This painting
does not so much show an event as the anxious anticipation of one. Another
painting of a waiting room explores the fascination in personal spaces, and
collective memories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

focuses on the space around, and the emotions that it creates, is Uta Barth.
This German-born photographer uses photography for aesthetic art, using the
depth of field and focus to purposefully create blurry or off-centre
photographs, creating an interesting perspective. Giving the illusion that the
cameras focus is else-where, with the task of making people try to identify
familiar objects. Catching the feeling and emotions of the room is what Barth
seems to be best at, allowing them to interpret the art as it seems to them.
The lack of titles </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">for her photographs gives the viewer even more freedom, to
examine the abstract art in their own way, something that I think Barth was
going for. Her series <i>…and the time</i>,<i> </i>which she created, back in 2000, which
explores imitating pure observation, with the task of capturing the sequence of
light through her windows. The unusual setting of the off-centre photographs
head just peeking out from the bottom of the photograph, turning your focus to
the reflective light with shines onto the back wall. With the sofa appearing as
just a reference point, defining the background as a wall. The paired
photographs have a slight change in the camera’s position, focusing on the idea
of observation, and the different yet similar angles that areas can be viewed:
As when we observe, we don’t always come back to the exact same point. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Physical space can
be used in a variety of ways through which I have explored; from the more
obvious installations, to the more ‘hidden’ and unapparent. Physical space can
be used in an installation anywhere and everywhere, the room you are sitting in
now is an installation in its own right. We all have our own physical space,
our own installations; the box that you bring your 8 week-old puppy home in,
that is its own installation, the physical space it is inhabited in until
released. Physical space can be used differently to create the illusion of more
space, through mirrors, reflective surfaces, images bouncing off each other in
a compact installation. Positive and negative spaces in installations are often
dismissed and overlooked. Whether it is the emotion that a space creates within
its physical environment, or the message that it sends, the way physical space
is portrayed in its environment, its installation, is a matter which is purely
discounted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I first discovered Yayoi Kusama not that long ago, whilst re-searching my chosen theme of space for my A2 art. I was interested in mirrors and the extended sense of space that they seemed to create. It was here that I first discovered Kusama's incredible mirror installations. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Her increasing obsession with polka dots has inspired the most significant works of this avant-garde artist, producing greatness since the age of 10. Now 83, the Japanese artist has intrigued me into her obsessive interest in polka dots-round dots that are infinite.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">This photograph shows a creative work that I made in New York in 1960. I was 31 years old at the time and my inspiration was the inundation and proliferation of polka dots. The work represents the evolution of my original formative process. Of all the pieces I have made, I like this one the best. It was my intention to create an interminable image by using mirrors and multiplying red polka dots.</span></i><o:p></o:p><br />

Yet Kusama does not only create mirror installations, in fact her work goes right back, to the early 90’s, where her work compared to her more current work, is what some would say is more subdued, with her work explored more through paintings; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lingering Dream </i>and<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Accumulation </i>being two of her earlier works. In 1957 Kusama ventured off to America to make her name in the US, it is here that she created her <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Infinity Nets. </i>These extraordinary oversized paintings are covered in seemingly endless repeated, scalloped brushstrokes of a single colour on a constraining ground. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
By the early 1960’s Kusama began a new body of work, extending her practice into sculpture for the first time, fabricating three-dimensional objects covered with repeated forms. Some of my favourite work of her from this new practice is the Accumulation sculptures, leading Kusama soon to be embedded in the heart of the avant-garde scene in New York, soon being part of an emerging group of young artists including Andy Warhol, Judd, Oldenburg and Robert Morris. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
It wasn’t until 1965 that one of her exhibitions included <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Infinity Mirror Room-Phalli’s Field, </i>a room-sized installation with mirrored walls and ceiling that appeared to reflect endlessly a sea of red on white polka-dotted phallic protrusions covering the floor. The following year Kusama presented <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Endless Love Show, </i>which consisted of a mirrored hexagonal box into which viewers were invited to look. <o:p></o:p></div>

1967-73 saw the rise of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Happenings.</i>By this time Kusama had achieved a level of critical and popular exposure in the art world, but was still struggeling to make a living from her work. Responding to the socio-political mood of the time, shifting her new-found interest in performance to more popular and inclusive happenings. With Civil rights and Vietnam protest movements changing the political landscape. Kusama based her work on the rise of hippie culture-changing social moves with an increasing open and experimental attitude to sexuality, drug use and mysticism.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Self Obliteration: </i>An audio-visual light performance. Kusama painted models in bikini’s with colourful fluorescent paints under black lights. People were enticed by the promise that ‘during the course of the happening kusama will obliterate her environment, live bikini models and herself in a polka-dot dance party’. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Other <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">happenings </i>such as body festivals in Europe, becoming and creating ‘Kusama’s self-obliteration,’featured with footage by filmmaker Yud Yalkut; an attempt to visualise Kusama’s world. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
April 69 Kusama set up her clothing boutique to sell her fashion designs. Typically polka dots, the most daring featuring strategically placed holes revealing breasts, etc. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
1973 saw Kusamas return to Japan. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Yet it is her work from the 21<sup>st</sup> Century that I have enjoyed exploring the most. The lat 90’s and early 2000’s, Kusama returned to making room-sized installations. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’m Here, but Nothing </i>is a darkened domestic interior, featuring simple furniture and accessories of the type one would expect to see in a middle-class home. Yet in the installation, this image of conventional status is turned into something surreal and uncanny. The room along with all its furnishings are covered with fluorescent sticker spots that grow in the dim light. 1996 was the first of a series of balloon installations entitled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dots Obsessions, </i>exploring distortions of scale. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Quickly becoming one of the biggest names this year, from the fashion world with her new contract with <i>H&M,</i> to her original artistic roots with her music, Lana Del Rey continues her reign as she releases a unique version of her double platinum winning album called, <i>Paradise. </i>The new album contains 8 new songs, one being <i>Ride. </i><br />

Revisiting her collaboration with Justin Parker (<i>Video Games)</i>, the duo have gone on to write <i>Ride, </i>which is undoubtedly will be just as successful. The new release if the single sees an exciting distribution of a 10 minute cinematic video for the new song, not only show casing her undeniable talent, but an artistic side to the singer too. Written by Lana, the video explores the romanticised notion of 'being free', based on the life of dreams that have been shattered.<br />
We see a different style of Del Rey in <i>Ride</i>, as we've seen her visiting a number of the different eras throughout her videos; visiting the 40's in <i>Born to Die</i>, the 60's in <i>National Anthem, </i>Del Rey explores the 80's in fringe jackets, prom dressed and new big black curls. Rey held a screening on Wednesday at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monaco in California, who all received a brief letter from Lana herself, talking about her inspiration and collaboration;<br />

"Life isn't always easy, but sometimes you're blessed enough to meet your artistic soul mates along the way," she wrote. "After years of staying true to my own artistic visions, I met Anthony Mandler, who shared my love of all things dark and beautiful and understood my passion and revery for the country that America used to be. He's helped me to bring the visions of my imagination to life and tell my different life stories through film . . ."</div>

"The world I've created on the outside is finally as beautiful as it was in my mind's eye when I first began writing and dreaming, and that – as you know – is a very rare thing. And for that I am eternally grateful to all of my wonderful friends and partners in music and at my label for helping a vision flourish and for being a part of something that is now bigger than us."</div>

From Moschino's short A-line shifts of Sixties Pop, to Cavalli's transition into a new direction.<br />
<br />

Beginning with mono-chrome pieces, the first outfit which entered was a matching white mini dress and cropped jacket, featuring black piping in all the right places. Stripes were in high demand throughout the show, as well as the feature of diamonds, hearts, block colour and heavy piping.<br />

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana chose Sicily as their inspiration once again, this time full of colourful prints, bright colours, but still keeping the tradition.<br />
<br />
<br />

The collection consisted of fine detail and bags of the tradition, expressed through print, accessories, and as my increasing obsession remains, in the shoes.<br />

The split in the collection was clear; the tradition shown through tourist-like prints, historical images, with flowing skirts and high neck lines. Compared to the Sicilian beach styles, with stripes, more traditional prints, high-waisted shorts and bandeau tops. All of which were paired with over-sized earrings, beautifully colourful detailed wedges and flats, traditional bandannas, and festive wicker-basket bags.<br />

Roberto Cavalli's SS 13 show consisted of beautiful floating silks, yet this time without the clashing prints we normally see. His signature use of denim and animal print was still in use, but in a more subtle, calm way, despite the use of pink lace and neon dresses. This saw the focus more on the looks, with coiled up trousers and lined shirts.<br />
<br />
<br />
Georgia Armani focused on soft tailoring and purified colours, carrying on with an aquatic theme, even giving his models blue/silver style beret hair.<br />

Dontella Versace presented once again a lavish, glamorous collection, consisting of a new way of channeling lace-lace panels on silk dresses, lace panels on shoulders, lace that ran down jeans, there was a clear experimentation going on with lace. My favourite amongst the looks were the floor length flowing gowns, paired with straps of tough studs going length way on the shoulders, and those repeatedly used strappy boots.<br />

Peter Dundas carried on with taking the rains on the Emilio Pucci collection for SS 13, and did not disappoint. Even though the brands iconic Kaleidoscopic image is one leading back to the 1960's, Dundas has started to create a new iconic image for the brand, edging away from this assumed certainty. Now becoming for known for Dundas' confident, new found glamour, expressed through graphic swirls and geometries. <br />
Not completely rid of its archival prints, the collection is explored through bomber jackets, floor length gowns and loose pants, giving across a somehow vintage look. And interesting collection and a favourite of the week.<br />

Varying in colour from fuchsia, maroon, raspers, deep and grass greens, gold, cerulean and purples making a number of appearances.<br />
The opening of the show was just as beautiful and exciting as the end, beginning with pitch black darkness, when suddenly as if the heavens had opened, the daylight came flooding in with a model standing centre stage in a white cape at the top of the runway. The appropriate opening was almost expressing the transition from A/W to SS 13 with a click of a button.<br />
The use of texture and colour were varied in the show, with models walking out in metallic classic trench coats in varied colours, transparent 'Vinyl and metallic python' handbags and cat-like sunglasses. A trench that caught my eye and a shift in tradition from the original Burberry trench, was a metallic shaded body con, producing new found shape in a trench. With a small collar and loose belt at the waist.<br />
New uber mini cape like jackets which clung to the shoulders were an added extra, creating volume and layers, appearing in plastic versions which hovered over the shoulders too. Volume was also created in the jackets and trench coats with exaggerated sleeves. The focus on the waist was also present, with super short bomber jackets stopping just above and at the waist or on the shoulders, as well as high waisted pencil skirts and body tight cocktail dresses. The repeated use of metallic was something I was not expecting from Bailey, but something that most certainly sums up our British summer. A beautiful collection for Burberry Prorsum, with an exciting use of colour, very British and very well done.<br />
<br />
No explanation describes the collection, unless of course your Christopher Bailey. See for yourselves;<br />

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein believe it or not was Kane's inspiration for his SS 2012 show, in particular the 'nuts and bolts.' And nuts and bolts he did use, with folds created on dresses in clean cut lines, and were fastening's once lied, actual bolts replaced them.<br />
One clean crisp white Jacket resembled something of a straight jacket, with a belt cut in at the waist, but feminised with a white quilt-like texture. With a colour palette consisting of whites, buttercup yellows and pale pinks, the feminine colours met hard with the Frankenstein theme of 'nuts and bolts'. Frills, bows, layering of materials and antique-like Jewels were also used among these ideas, again clashing with the creative theme, yet working oh so well. Textures other than the quilted material as mentioned in the Jacket which opened the show, as well as the plastic looking substance shown below. Nuts and bolts replaced buttons, cufflinks, handles of handbags and were placed on shoulders-anywhere and everywhere.<br />
The creativity of this man has gone through the roof, combining femininity and Frankenstein, not your everyday match, and somehow made it desirable to the female eye. Can not wait for the A/W 2012 collection, only time will tell what will come down the catwalk for that collection. Can't wait.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">We're half way through the shows in the Topshop show space area, and the talent is pouring in. Starting off the set yesterday was </span><i style="text-align: center;">Topshop Unique</i><span style="text-align: center;">, commencing with Jordan Dunn in a shear white longsleeved dress, whilst the setting of the Topshop space was discovered. Featuring a futuristic space ship setting including a minimalist white oval catwalk, and consecutive white LED lights appearing in sync. Something that struck me about the collection this year was the maturity and growth, and extreme wearability for a wide range of ages. The simple colour palette of white to greys, buttercup yellows, pale pinks and navy blues gave a simplicity to the pieces, but when matched with the subtle patterns of stripes, block shapes and checks, it gave variety and interest to the collection. The range of shapes was another interesting aspect, with baggy and oversized jumpers matched with short bodycon skirts, or tight skirts and bra-like tops paired with an oversized coat. Overall a fresh, mature collection from Topshop Unique, heralded by new creative director Kate Phelan, British </span><i style="text-align: center;">Vogue </i><span style="text-align: center;">fashion director. Maybe its time for a more mature look for the youth buyers of Topshop? </span></div>

Katranzou also used some repetitive layering, of tops layered over trousers of the same print, similarly done with tops and skirts. Later on, the show displayed a more relaxed sense of shape with floating skirts and dresses giving a sense of freedom. Yet the focus of the collection was, of course, the use of that incredible digital print, which coloured the garments from head to toe. These impressive pieces were more like works of art, digitally generated and sculptured by computer generated technology, onto the catwalk. This revolutionary artist has created perfection once again, with her SS13 collection becoming one of my unexpected favourites, well done Katrantzou.<br />

Day two of Topshop's show space epic three days and we begin with Peter Pilotto, putting his statement on the catwalk with a printed floor instead of the usual lit-up white effect. Pilotto seemed to be another exploring prints, but in this collection, there seemed to be a lot of colour and print clashing, resulting in another experimental and explorational collection. A favourite piece for me was a printed jumpsuit, with a block shaped open pattern towards the upper part of the garment, and black and white ruffles opening at the waist. Another clever collection from one of Britain's finest, full of wonderfully clashing prints and colours for SS 2013.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Michael Van Der Dan was the next into the limelight, who again seemed one for mixed print and colour, adding younger girl femininity, matching his RTW show with white alice headbands and petite shoes with different coloured fur on the heels. His use and image of deconstruction and then re-constructing the garments to work with different materials comes through, and is successfully re-worked. </div>

Louise Gray's show was no exception from her previous works, full of vibrant colours, fun accessories and exciting new brogues. This alternative show consisted of a variety of exploratory ideas, patterns, textures and colours, all mixed up and produced in the SS 2013 collection named, <i>Trust me . </i>As wacky and creative as this collection was, it somehow works in a way that in Topshop will sell! The overstated dramatic use of colour is so overwhelming its almost not enough. Another great run for Louise Gray. </div>

The final Designer of the day was J.W Anderson, keeping his understated style, opening the show with ruffles and Doc Martin-like shoes. Although I am not one for the understated and in a lot of cases not agreeing with the statement <i>less is more, </i>J.W.A's collection proved to very wearable yet stylish, putting his stamp all over the collection.<br />

All of this, and we still have Meadham Kirchhoff tomorrow. 2pm sharp Topshop fans, you won't want to miss this. </div>

<span style="color: purple;">Day three and London Fashion week is well underway, with highlights for me being Lucas Nascimento, Marios Schawb and of course, Vivenne Westwood's Red label collection, with her spectacular show, focusing on Climate Revolution. </span><br />

His range of shapes and materials-knit wear that from a far you would not believe so, made his collection wide and well explored. His pieces ranged dramatically from simple a-line pieces, focussing of shape and texture, to knit wear pieces hitting hard with the softness of a sweetheart neck line and pastel colours underneath. One of my favourite pieces was his simple yet so beautiful lime green jumpsuit, focusing solely on the silouette with that feminine neckline. Contrastingly, on the right above, is an example of his oh so familiar knit wear again, hitting hard against the sweat heart neckline of a green bra-like top underneath. In total Nascimento's collection was one which has inspired me from the day, full of clean, contrasting ideas. Someone who I will be keeping an eye on for future greatness. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br />
Westwood has made it quite clear in the recent years that what she really cares about, and what she only really cares about, is her platform for change, and chance to voice her opinion, and for her collection in London 2012, it is Climate Revolution. With her O so busy set, vibrant head pieces created by Stephen Jones, and daring mixture of colour, pattern and texture, I felt the show had a sense of happy randomness that couldn't help but make you smile. With her appearance at the end, draped in a brown cloth, which she took off and held up reading, <i>Climate Revolution</i>, she definitely got her point across. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">One of my favourite designers is Mathew Williamson, and he most certainly did not disappoint. With the very British back drop of St Pauls Cathedral setting the scene, the show opened with Cara Delevingne in a stunning merging blazer, of a deep blue splashed with white red yellow and turquoise, paired with a flattering pair of structured shorts and gold embellished heels. With a lot of soft tailored shapes, short skirts, cropped trousers and floating dresses summed up the show with his signature usage of colour, pattern and embellishment. With the use of mosaic-like patterns, and floating shapes he matched with the more structured tailored lines. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The colour palette was something I felt worked very well, with his extensive use of blues merging into whites, yellows, and the use of turquoise and reds. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">If I could have anything from the catwalk of day three, it would have to be from Mathew Williamson, 15 years on still creating brilliance. </span><br />
