Performance Couture

British artist Kirstie MacLeod makes her début at Dubai Art Fair. The collective name for Kirstie's couture performance dresses is Dreaming Dresses, she also accepts bespoke commissions and designs and hand-stitches gowns for any occasion. Wear this to the Crillon ball and you will outshine all and any debutnate. She did a brilliant performance piece at the Viktor & Rolf show at the Barbican last year too.

This dress is 10 metres wide and was completely hand-made.

There wasn't much room in Kirstie's flat when these dresses were being made!

Scent of a Woman

I got some orange flavoured Prada biscuits the other week. I found out it was just a little something to titillate the tastebuds before the run up to Prada's new perfume "Infusion de Fleur L'Oranger". The scent will be launched in March and has notes of orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine. The line will include a body lotion and shampoo and will be on limited sale for 4 months only.

The packaging references a dress that was on the runway in its A/W 2003 collection
