DREEEAAMY.....

Here's a collection of some somewhat dreamy and magical pictures I've collected over time. Probably inspired by the fact that I'm an 80's child and grew up watching things like Fantasia, Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe and The Dark Crystal.

Photographer, Sally Mann's beautiful pictures aren't the typical photographs you see of children. Mann rose to notoriety with her 1995 series 'Immediate Family' in which she photographed her children at their home in rural Virginia. Mann was both criticized and lauded for her black and white depictions of her children's daily lives. In the introduction to her book Mann writes, "We are spinning a story of what it is to grow up. It is a complicated story and sometimes we try to take on the grand themes: anger, love, death, sensuality and beauty". Her work is a great portrayal of siblings and a childhood of running wild and free. 

Kate Moss. The Face. Photographed by Corrine Day. 1989.

Peter Brook's 1963 adaptation of William Golding's classic debut novel, Lord of the Flies.

California based artist Andrea Zuill's illustrations of colourful, quirky and unhappy characters are surreal and darkly humorous. The 'little girl lost' feeling they have reminds me of 'The Lost Boys' from Peter Pan.

Photographs of  girls from the Surma and the Mursi tribes from the Omo Valley on the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan.

Signed, Sealed and Delivered.

It has always been important that the look and feel of things like the dress tickets and the look books carry through the labels cool and clean aesthetic. Have a look....

All the dresses have been named after some of London's known and not so well known pubs as a tribute to my home town. Pubs have been at the heart of London for centuries and have managed to stay at the forefront of contemporary British culture without ever going out of style. Each dress has a ticket that has been traditionally hand stamped according to which pub it has been named after, such as the Imperial and the Westbourne. 

Here are some of our limited edition black leather bracelets which come in gold, silver and nickel. Alongside is the printed press release, each with a custom made wax seal stamp of the Casson logo.
