Twenty8Twelve Walks the Par Excellence Line

November 05 2012, 17:39

Twenty8Twelve turned heads and tails on the catwalk at London Fashion Weekend. Their new Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, reflects a chic flirtation of the Sixties.  Just hours before the show starts, the collection is hung in lines of demure wonder. The models are transported back to times of freedom, peace and love. Hair is set to beehive styles and combed to accompaniment. The bustle of wild excitement hangs.  The audience arrive and eagerly wait. Time is playful and sweet. The music begins, escalating the mood to a magnetic siren of awe. Feet, legs, hands in long draping pockets, move in alluring speed. Feminine frills and immaculate collar lines combine to dazzle. Matching twinsets, making the audience blush with pleasure. Embracing Autumn’s colder evenings and darker nights.  Twenty8Twelve’s quintessentially English knit, is set to warm the hearts all this winter. Emerald greens and pencil skirts for every occasion. Twist and brush past…

Minds Black and White

July 26 2012, 12:10

Minds Black and White from Twenty8Twelve on Vimeo.

“An expression of words reeling the fantasy of poetry. An innocent portrayal of two parts, playing with unknowing pretences and positions.  A progression of intimacy, where the mood reflects a collision that is only ‘accidental when realised’, illustrated when their hands touch.  And the reality creeps into their playful state, withdrawing them back to the social norm of silence”. – Chloe Primrose Pemberton. 

“Interludes between two minds, black and white, passing between notes in moments of chance.” – Greta Bellamacina

Underground Sensation of Soho

July 23 2012, 10:37

A Poetic Review
by Greta Bellamacina (photos by Jacob Perlmutter)

The slanting streets of Soho disappear in and out of diffused light.  A reality of the night, dampened into the electrifying mystery of the day.  Sunken back streets play a fable to a time of blasting mayhem.  Milk & Honey a windowless secret, serving pink ladies to interlacing strangers. The taste transcends sweet elegance and a comforting getaway from the cascading roads of central London. Masked in a coloured chameleon dress from Twenty8Twelve, casts a wild underground sensation from a quite corner of Soho. 

A passing in Soho
An endless void,
For pink ladies, double. Flowerless.
A number, no door.
To cross worlds of broken silences,
Infatuation vaporised. In these vacant times,
Time to turn inwards.
To see how those intervals crazed thee.
In dwellings of,
Homeless spirit.

A reading from “Kaleidoscope”- selected poems at The Bridge

July 15 2012, 14:48

A Poetic Review
By Greta Bellamacina (photos by Lily More)

In a shadowed corner of East London, The Bridge saloon bar curtained, entrapping the bizarre.  Vaporising sound. Blinding out all but curiosity. A toy kingdom of furniture, framing a Venetian edge to what seems to be the entering of the wild fringes of fantasy. A poetry reading unfolds between friends. Interludes within words, settling in a cave of existence.  A simple connection between beauty and the intrigue, increasing minds in thoughts and space.  Antiquities with eyes and handles stare out from collecting corners. Words smile, and the distant memory of the world beyond seems as grey as the colour.  Drinking coffee from Turkish china, philosophy and passion smokes the air. And the memory of ‘love before you love it’ chimes in the moment. Poised in elegant French fancy dresses from Twenty8Twelve depicts the poet’s corner. 

Love Before You Love It
Inside the violet livings,
A night veined the fantastic. A first,
Pinned-up and plastic statued.
Expecting satin but found Paris in a room.
She the lady-love, hammocked
A fantasy in the surpassing
Chop of naked reality. Wet eyed
Love. And love before you love it,
Swell it up and fall, over.
Choke at the missing point. And swallow
Love. Love before you love it, a
Living. Turned and spined,
Into the centre point,  
Piece of pineapples and pears.
Cast-cut of an exotica is only
Bold in spoken reality. Thoughts are not
Truths beyond the table. Fluent and dressed
She is gone.
