Liverpool Talent: Bite Me Clothing
Last
week we had the pleasure of meeting Lauren Brannigan the designer
behind the up and coming Liverpool based clothing line Bite Me. DiscoFashionArt thinks Lauren is like our
very own version of Claire Barrow and we love it! Lauren takes vintage clothing
and as well as adding retro customisation she also intricately hands paints
them with various, evocative designs.
Lauren’s
current collection draws its influence heavily from the 90’s and 90’s
alternative culture and in our opinion it’s bloody brilliant. Also in a time where people are trying to
save money and customisation is the norm Bite Me’s designs are also
surprisingly fresh and original. The
catwalks are a light with 90’s nostalgia at the moment and we can’t help but
think this is Bite Me’s time to
shine.
Lauren
studied at Liverpool Arts College and her fervour to couple her passion for
drawing and fashion started there. She
started by customising a pair of denim shorts with some Beavis and Butthead
imagery, she shared them on Tumblr and woke up the next morning to discover
that her pictures had over 28,000 hits and thus Bite Me Clothing was born.
One
of Laurens biggest fans is New York mega blogger Audrey Kitching who has
snapped up a few items. Audrey featured the
pieces on her blog, which gets over a couple of million hits a month and the
comments were tremendous! Also up and coming MTV star Calvin Fox has recently
requested one of Bite Me’s covetable printed army jackets. We don’t think they’ll be the only ones once
the word is out.
If
you’re interested get in there soon as we think they may get busy! You can get your hands on Bite Me Clothing exclusively
at Resurrection Bold Street and for bespoke pieces Bite Me clothing can be
contacted for on facebook and twitter.
For now here is the full collection shot
earlier this month in the fabulous new photography studio – The Lab (located in
the old picket club) in the fabulous Baltic Creative area. Also special thanks to our fabulous model
Bessey, she was a delight and also one to watch we think! How fab are those
eyebrows!

Terry Richardson visits Liverpool
We heard a little rumour that the legend himself Mr Terry Richardson was frequenting our beautiful city this weekend. We presume he was here after the death of his stepfather the Liverpool rock legend Mr Jackie Lomax who sadly passed on the 19th September. Jackie was a guitarist and songwriter who was born in Wallasey and later lived in California where he married Richardson's mother, the photographer Norma Richardson. A much loved and respected member of the Liverpool music community, who will be sadly missed.
We can honestly say when we heard the delectable Terry was here we kind of wanted to go on a hunt round the city to find him! What a legend! But instead we settled on looking at all the photos Terry had took of our beautiful city on his tumblr instead http://terrysdiary.com/. We then wondered if we had of met him would we have had the balls to say "Terry lends your glasses while we do the obligatory two thumb and glasses shot" with him (discofashionart as Terry! WE WISH)

Get out my way bi**h, your ruining my walk!
Speaking after the show she said: 'I punched her – I didn’t mean to but she grabbed my arm and I just wanted to get her off me. 'My Scouseness came out a bit but I wish it had come out a bit more. Thinking about it now I wish I’d pushed them both off the stage because they ruined my favourite show.'
'As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me – [so] I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a punch square on her nose.
'I was so angry but I knew I had to be professional so I carried on walking with a bit of sassiness. 'I had been looking forward to the Nina Ricci show for so long, whether I was modelling in it or not, it’s such a beautiful collection. 'I was really worried to come backstage but nobody said anything – I felt bad the moment it happened and I was very shaken up by it.' Miss Saker, who started modelling at 16 has no plans to let it dent her ambition of becoming a world famous supermodel.
'I think if it had happened two years ago I would have run straight off the catwalk,' she added. 'It could have been worse, I could have fallen over. 'It was amazing but messed up. Things like this just make me feel so grateful, happy and grateful.
'I’ve worked so hard and deserve it, so hopefully I’ll get some good karma. I’ve got to model for some great designers and I can’t believe I got to walk for Burberry. I’m so proud to be British and a Scouser.'
Way to go Hollie! DiscoFashionart salutes you for being so brave!

Winner of the Miami Fashion Film Festival 2013 - Best Short - I'll Be There - Domingo Rodriguez / Benjamin Lussier
DiscoFashionArt consider Domingo
Rodriguez a Liverpool Fashion ambassador and a design talent the city
should be extremely proud of. For those of you who don't know
him (shame on you!!)
Menswear designer Domingo
graduated from Liverpool John Moore’s University in 2008 and won the Menswear
Award at Graduate Fashion Week. He then went on to secure the Harold Tillman
Scholarship for his MA at London College of Fashion.
His graduate MA collection for
AW10 was scouted by asos.com for an exclusive capsule
collection ‘Domingo Rodriguez for ASOS.’ He later won the Wolf & Badger
graduate design awards 2010 and his SS11 collection was presented during Paris
Fashion week in June 2010 as one of Esquire Magazines ‘7 Brilliant Brits.’
Domingo cut his
teeth interning for Kim Jones and Carolyn Massey and has successfully
collaborated with Phi-Nom Leather, Saga furs and Kopenhagen fur.
The video below, 'I'll be there" is a video written & directed by Benjamin Lussier with fashion By Domingo Rodriguez.
The video has been removed from Vimeo and Vine but can be found on our Instagram page! Soz Guys.
The
premise of this film was inspired by Domingo Rodriguez's approach for his
spring/summer collection of 2013. His designs structure the muscles and lines
of the male body; taking organic contours and turning them into structured
patterns.
The
contrast between the organic inspiration and the hard-edged/structured
treatment is in some ways reminiscent of the conflicting artistic movements of
romanticism vs. classicism (nature vs order). "I'll get there"
presents four short narratives where carelessness and natural urges clash with
ambition and purpose.
This
fashion short, whilst it features Rodriguez's collection, also tries to explore
the underlying themes of its conception.
The video went on to win Best Fashion Short at the Miami Fashion Film Festival on the 15th September! Well done Domingo, we hope to catch an interview with you soon!!!!
