Happy Friday...

Give me a second darling, so I can clear my head

Hello. Hi. Yes please. Tuesdays never looked better.

This is what love is for, to be out of place, gorgeous and alone...

She loves me, she loves me not...

Take me away where nothing else matters...

She lives in a fairy tale, she believes in magic...

The Idea

Starting May 2009, I have pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. Here’s how it works: There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies. Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade's boudoir.

The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for children living in Indian slums.

So close, yet so far...

With the end of the year nearing, we are working hard and fast, above and beyond to get the site up and running. It is taking longer than expected but the team are working their little butts off to develop the site, sort the stock and organise the behind the scenes bits and pieces. I know you're waiting patiently, so here's an unedited, sneak peak. We have everything from vintage military jackets to bombers, Clarks boots, old-school Docs, lace dresses, fur coats and boys leathers.... slow and steady wins the race - my gran told me that!
