Model Army













Last weekend we did a shoot in the shop using the VA collection with Icelandic fashion photographer Saga Sig . We accessorised the vintage with bespoke head peices designed by Tomi Hiro, we loved his crowns and feather headresses so much we are now stocking them at 125 Presents.
Here are some behind the scenes pictures, keep an eye on the site for the finished shoot...

Well Red...





This website, Wonderbk.com is hilarious...
It sells 'books by the foot', you order from a colour palette so you can have an aesthetically pleasing bookshelf, that compliments your wallpaper without ever having to have read a book in your life!

We All Had a Wonderful Time



Masked parties, Savage parties, Victorian parties, Greek parties, Wild West parties, Russian parties, Circus parties, parties where one had to dress as somebody else, almost naked parties in St John’s wood, parties in flats and studios and houses and ships and hotels and night clubs, in windmills and swimming-baths, tea parties at school where one ate muffins and meringues and tinned crab, parties at Oxford where one drank brown sherry and smoked Turkish cigarettes, dull dances in London and comic dances in Scotland and disgusting dances in Paris – all that succession and repetition of massed humanity … Those vile bodies …
