Keith Haring’s infamous artwork to make another appearance for Nicholas Kirkwood.

The infamous 1980s modern artist Keith Haring’s has this season made another one-off appearance. His distinctive pieces have previously been reproduced in the shape of a variety of collectable items, including everything from t-shirts to tea-towels.

However the artists’ latest re-embodiments will be in collaboration with the successful British footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood. Kirkwood has previously teamed up with high-end fashion designers including the likes of Erdem and Rodarte, the footwear fanatic is therefore no stranger to joining teams with artistic forces.

Haring’s bold and statement character doodles are sure to make a much sought after and statement shoe. The unique prints will be both vibrant and on trend and will feature on one of Kirkwood’s sky-high heeled creations. The palette for this particular collaboration between the artist and designer is to be both shades of bright fluoro green and pink, the perfect summer shades for a dramatic and daring piece.

The creations will also feature swirl shaped cut outs, doodle style heels in a paint-print medium and each shoe will combine both pink shades and python material on a stiletto made up of luminous green.

News of such collaborations already has the fashion world going crazy especially since Keith Haring’s most recent and successful shoe collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger was a huge hit!

Designer Maia Norman takes a brave stab at the fashion World.

This season sees designer Maia Norman release her debut clothing line. Entitled Mother of Pearl, the new collaboration almost resembles works of art, with bold and beautiful prints splashed across neutral colours.

Norman set the clothing line up a few years ago to date and feels its now time for the range to take on a reincarnation. What started, as cutesy and retro enthused beachwear will take on a sexy more futuristic approach.

Items currently featured include glamorous siren dresses created in crepe fabric, complete with an insecticide embellishment print by Matt Collinshaw and Walton Ford enthused biker jackets, the American artists prints appear extremely morbid on the fabric and certainly create a statement.

Art collaborations seem constant in the designers work; this is possibly due to Maia being the partner of iconic artist Damien Hirst. The next name she wishes to collaborate with is in fact Carston Holler.

Other items in the range include dresses inspired by wetsuits and possibly due to Maias love of the sea. The designer spends most of her free time studying coral reef damage, taking part in the restoration of boats or surfing off the coast North Devon. The dress is created with a zip front and takes inspiration from a wetsuit. Other contrasting pieces including futuristic tuxes in black satin complete with hoods.

Her new line, The Mother Of Pearl Collection will be available from both Liberty and Maxfield Parish and the designer already has a firm following of fans including the likes of Catherin Bailey and Lily Allen.
