Thoroughly enjoyed myself at Prophetik's AW09 show and party at Beach Blanket Babylon last night. When I first got there I couldn't see a single LFW-esque fashionable person (not to be confused with regular old fashionable people, trust me) in the heaving crowd. A kindly waiter directed me upstairs to the 'ballroom' and that, I was relieved to see, was chocka with LFW-esque fashionables.....not to mention other LFW/Estethica luminaries.
L-R: Jocelyn Whipple, Element23; Livia Firth, Eco-Age; Lucy Siegle, journalist/Observer's ethical living expert; Orsola de Castro, founder From Somewhere and co-founder Estethica. Behind Livia are her twin brothers, Nicola and Alessandro who work with her at Eco-Age.
Orsola catches me having more fun photographing her and Lucy deep in conversation, than paying attention to the show. 
While we are on topic of muses, I wonder if Jeff even needs one, he is such a creative, free spirit himself. He surfs (in Malibu, where he lives part of the time) and rides horses (outside, Nashville Tennessee, where he lives the rest of the time; by the way, horses feature big in Prophetik's image...there was a beautiful brown one parked outside Beach blah blah blah last night for the duration of the revelries), models in his own (very dramatic) photo shoots and generally has a very artistic vibe.
I like Prophetik's stuff -- it has the right mix of quality and laid back cool that I think fashion, in this economic environment, wants to and will embrace. I look forward to meeting Jeff again as the exhibition starts today and of seeing much more of Prophetik in these parts going forward.
