Retro-FAB!!

Kate Sylvester's naughty little sister 'Sylvester' has rocked up at Little Hero, and we're raiding her suitcase for retro fab plaid, pretty florals and a killer leopard print.

My favs? These crazy-cool polka dot pants, which I'm actually considering wearing with the matching blouse- who doesn't love a walking optical illusion?!!

Set Adrift On Memory Bliss

 Welcome to 2011!
As the NY revelations are now but a distant memory, and work emails start flooding your inbox, Little Hero has compiled the perfect audio selection to soothe you back into that summer state of mind....






Didn't make the Christmas list? Here's the track listing!
                                          

School's Out For Summer...

But IN for Autumn/Winter

Kate Sylvester is schooling us in cool by seamlessly stitching sportswear with couture in her upcoming collection 'Lost & Found', and we're happy to stay back after class!

Pulling from 70s images of muse-worthy Loulou de la Falaise and stills from Swedish art house flick Let the Right One In  , 1970’s sportswear is reworked in featherweight chiffons and silks, the field comes into play with boucle knit sweaters and cardigans in rugby stripes, and an explosive Rubik’s cube print is pure math 1.01. But If, like myself, you're more of a spectator than a sportswoman, 'sweater girl’ knits, silk blouses and dresses in floral prints, skirts in mink, caramels, violet or lace, or dresses and tops laced with tiny sequins should keep you warm in the stands.

I FEEL GREAT

Aline Smithson: Arrangement In Green and Black

I came across these fantastic works by artist Aline Smithson and immediately fell in love.
She explains the concept for the series on her website:

"The series incorporates traditional photography techniques, yet becomes richer with the treatment of hand painting. It is my intent to have the viewer see the work in a historical context with the addition of color.
My patient 85 year-old mother posed in over 20 ensembles, but unfortunately passed away before seeing the finished series. I am grateful for her sense of humor and the time this series allowed us to be together."
