Vivienne Westwood and Agyness Deyn

Bonjour! Well before i start getting into this post I would like to declare some very important information. I, Savannah (or StyleCandy if you like), am spending the day at the Los Angeles office of the remarkably talented and extremely well-known stylist, Cristina Ehrlich. ahhhhhhhhhh! it's totally insane and exciting and i can't believe it's happening to me! Let me inform you of the incredible night this all happened.

I was over at my mother's very good friend's house spending the night. I was playing with her 7 and 8 year olds jumping on the trampoline and playing with the lovely madders (golden retriever named Maddy.) and I find out we are going to a passover seder dinner thingamabob. because apparently it's passover. anyways we get there and i say hi to all these people i haven't seen since i was young and stuff and all the kids are running wild and i'm eating the forbidden crackers (they had wheat in them i guess and the only kind of bread you can eat is matzo on passover. am i supposed to capitalize passover? Passover is capitalized from now on just in case!) and stuff since i forgot to eat lunch, silly me. then we (meaning us kids) had to all sit down at the dining table and read this thing about Passover. I really only heard random words like blood and saltwater because the children were all screaming over poor Andy who was trying to teach us all about the ten plagues.

 Anyways, once the hebrew prayer was over, phew, we all got to eat. i was eyeing some delicious-looking potato latkes when Jennifer (mother's friend, and mine too.) calls me over to meet, yep, you guessed it, Cristina. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. okay well i have to tell you the truth, i didn't actually know who she was until i got home and looked her up. ohmygod. so anyways, i walk over and she starts telling me i should come hang out at her office for a day since i'm into fashion and have a blog. thank you blog, i love you. so now that leads us to the end of my totally marveling Passover. unless you want to hear about the finding of the matzo. she won five bucks, that matzo finding 7 year-old. or i suppose you might like to hear how i was congratulated by the table that i was sitting with the adults. or maybe how i'm not even Jewish.

So my advice to you is to go ask your Jewish friends to take you to their Passover seders. it could lead to meeting celebrity stylists, it really could. i have proof. i'll tell you all about my adventure to wonderland tomorrow, promise! Until then, lets get this post started.

So i remembered how much i love Agyness Deyn the other day. i mean she's British, she has insanely cool style, and that HAIR, that's some wicked hair. oh, and the name. her name used to be laura hollins, but apparently she thought Agyness Deyn was much more suited, we agree. i then remembered that she was on ALL SIX COVERS of i-D magazine in May of 2008. Crazy cool:

i love the paint one!

Here's another of the kooky girls. :) image from nickdrake.tumblr.com 

The dress Agyness is wearing in the above picture is from Vivienne Westwood's fall 2008 collection which was very cool and jungly thanks to some imaginative British kids. for this collection Vivienne sent fabric to a school somewhere in England and had the children paint on it for her collection. it's incredible. Agyness Deyn explains it better and more thoroughly in the i-D interview video link at the bottom of the page. i apologize for the bad quality, it's the only website i could find the interview on. Anyways, here are some of my favorite looks from the collection some of the girls had to walk on stilts!:
