When going ker-razy with the colours, caution needs to be heeded. Some designers know how to do 'crazy colour' - Bernhard WIllhelm, Basso & Brooke, C.Neeon to name a few. Others, and I won't point the finger go crazy with the colour for no rhyme or reason. So it's good to announce another person to add to my 'good ker-razy colourist' list. David David is a range of sweatshirts, t-shirts, leggings and trainers designed by David Sanders, a Chelsea Art College grad. That may not sound like something very exciting but it's his geometric, multi-coloured prints that have really won me over. The use of colour is very controlled and actually strangely restrained. By placing them in the context of simple garments, it's much more like an 'art on canvas' scenario. I've already seen a few of the young London set like Daisy Lowe, Pearl Lowe's daughter sporting the leggings which I'm seriously hankering after. These are the kind of clothes I know I'd have a lot of fun in - defo!
do you know how much do these retail for?

Hi Susie,
I started my blog recently as a way to keep my artists informed of the latest trends (I have a textile design studio) and I have been reading a lot (and I mean a lot) of blogs lateley. I have to say, yours is one of the best by far! your writing is witty and your sense of humour is great! I will keep ckecking for more.
I love these T's and hoodies by the way. Very cool.

Susie, this post is the only reason I knew who Daisy Lowe was when I met her in NYC last night. (Also, my British friend filled in a couple of other blanks.) I was so excited to meet a Style Bubble mention in person; it was almost hard to keep the excitement to myself to keep from embarrassing my friends.

On the morning she realized her husband and son would learn the family was losing their house, Carlene Balderrama, 53, faxed a note to the mortgage company, then went to the basement and shot herself.
"I hope you're more compassionate with my husband than you were with me," she wrote in a suicide note left for the company.
It is a dramatic picture of the worst that financial stress can wring. As home foreclosures and unemployment mount, so do their companion tales of fraud, robbery, arson and even murder. And though suicides remain rare, evidence that financial stress is erupting in rash, often illegal behavior isn't difficult to find.
"A lot of people, they just feel hopeless," said Kita Curry, a psychologist and the president of Didi Hirsch Community Mental Health Center in Los Angeles, where the crisis line has seen a 20% jump calls from people citing financial woes. Centers in other cities are reporting as much as a 65% increase in calls.
"If you've been evicted from your home and you've lost your job and they're talking about unemployment rising, then what are you going to do?"
Desperate acts in down economies
It's too early in the current downturn for national data crunchers to accurately observe fluctuations in suicides or crimes. And even then, analysts have a difficult time isolating motive, which is elusive. The underlying causes of crime trends always remain in dispute.
The fraud data are also incomplete because insurance companies generally don't release comprehensive figures, said Frank Scafidi, a spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a nonprofit that investigates fraud for the insurance industry.
"Most of us have a sense that when the economy's bad, people will do things that they wouldn't normally do, especially insurance fraud, but that's nothing more than a sense that people have," he said.
Still, the anecdotal indicators are hard to ignore. Nationwide, crimes of desperation are increasingly being chalked up to economic anxiety.
