SAD Photographer: Amanda De Simone

Amanda was not created by contemplation to be what everyone wants, one for many. She has emerged, displays, her artistic wings rise, to behold her gift that not only as her achievements as a photographer illustrates, but a talent which is not tied to a specific time or doesn’t depend on the taste of the moment.

If there was nothing more than her voice, she could still break your heart with it. But she has this amazing talent as a human being, as a contributor to society through her loveliness, and more seriously through her specific talent as an artist.

Her career is positioned, there is no doubt of her potential, and her achievements, the accolades she receives from the fashion world, the art world. It makes no difference how she breaks your heart, as long as her art is there to mend it.

VOGUE: Designer Stephen Jones

From Shadows & Dust designer Stephen Jones' extensive travel, many short stories have been written. India's pious silk, to Italy's leather lilies and Paris's porcelain-skinned doyennes; stories that are decorated languorously with sulphurous magic, and at other times, related in the cool, neutral language of a hand printed note.
Through these stories Shadows & Dust become the imagery of exposed nerves. With no classical training, only that of a dance through the remorseful dust of the world and the shadows that are cast from his previous existence, Jones gave birth to a project that at once proved that the objective half of reality is in the hands of fate, the subjective half is in ourselves, and with that, Shadows & Dust sits somewhere in the middle.
Butter soft ruffle leather jackets in black and marbled stone, zippered hoods reminiscent of Joan Of Arc, and a versatile leather dress that can also be worn as a vest or a coat, as three of the many ingenious offerings, Shadows & Dust will get under your skin and haunt you in the most beautiful of ways.
