The Year of the Lapin

January

For the Chinese new year of the rabbit I collaborated on an exciting project with the APM centre in Hong Kong. I designed and wore 12 outfits, one for every month. My artworks were made into a  imited edition calendar, iphone case, shopping bag, notebook and lucky envelopes. Squeal!

...they also created 12 enormous 3d versions of me in my outfits for an exhibition which is about to be shown. I'll have some pictures of them for you to see soon but until then I hope you enjoy my outfits which I'll be showing you over the next 12 days.

Hope you all have a fabulous new year of the rabbit!

PRINT SHOP NOW OPEN!

Yes, you heard it right, My little print shop is finally open again! I was forced to close after some troubles with suppliers and also simply being super super busy bringing you all the lovely extra little things I have been working on.

There has also been a small change in delivery times. I now only ship on Fridays which means I have more time to dedicate to my art work. If you order before 9am GMT on a Friday your order will be sent that day. If you order after then it will be sent the following Friday.

To celebrate the reopening of the store there are some new prints... woo hoo!

Winter Warmers - I model some of my own designs for this winter
*
Dress Up - my very special birthday outfits!
*
Through Rose Tinted (small) - a smaller version of an old favourite
*
Dream a Little Dream - a darling portrait of moi
*
Les Lunettes - my favourite sunnies get another outing
*
The Cool Girls - the name says it all!

And as always all prints and postcards come with a special collectible Fifi Lapin card

As some of you may have heard there are some problems with the UK post office at the moment. There is a strike of postal worker happening this week and there may be more strikes which of course will have an impact on the delivery time of any orders and may make them slower than normal.

So for this week only any orders made will be sent on Monday to try and get to the top of the pile so to speak! For more info on delivery times please see the FAQ's on my website.

So hope you enjoy the new prints, I'm off to take Stella for a walk... to the shops!

p.s. just to confuse things even further my shop will be offline again for a short time from 10PM to 11PM EST Thursday night for server upgrades. I apologize for the downtime, but these upgrades will have a big impact over the holiday season and into the future. kisses xx

more great news

Phew, some very exciting things going on around here right now so thanks for your ongoing support. Without you I would be nothing! =;x)

The latest thing to get me happily hopping is this limited edition collection of t-shirts I did for online store ASOS. I am really pleased with them and I hope you are to. Click on the pictures to go to their website...

...but snap them up quick as I happen to know that they won't last long!

p.s. I am working my paws to the bone to get my shop restocked so I can open it in time for Chrissie presents. Please be patient with me, I am hoping it will be this week!

Shop Update!

I've had a little makeover at the shop and have also added some new goodies for you to peruse. First up is this new print titled 'What Shall I Wear Today?' made up of some of my own outfit designs. I'm particularly partial to the 50's specs and knitting bag! You can click on the image above for a closer look. The print is available here.

I have also added some new postcard packs, get yours quick because from previous experience they sell out fast! There is also the new photographic prints of my travels round the world here and another print titled The Red Glasses available here

enjoy!

kindred print - new in the shop!

Exciting news, I created a special spring inspired artwork for the kindred project. A venture set up by the creators of super cool blogs decor8 and creature comforts who commissioned some of their favourite artists to create desktop wallpapers for you to enjoy at no charge — a way of saying thanks to all of our daily readers and friends... and now I am releasing the piece as a print so you can enjoy it on your wall as well as your computer.

buy the print here
download the desktop wallpaper here

and here's the little interview I did for them...

You were given Pantone's color predictions for Spring to draw inspiration from. What colors did you end up selecting and why?
"I chose salmon rose, rose dust, slate grey and vibrant green, I wanted to keep the colour scheme simple to create a coherent collection."

What does Springtime mean to you?
"Hope... that soon I will be running bare paw through lush green fields feeling the sun on my fur. I love summer and so spring is a sign it's on it's way."

How did you try to translate that into your work?
"As a fashionista most of my day is taken up by deciding what I might wear and so I just imagined 10 days worth of my ideal spring outfits. I snuck in a little cloud because here in Britain we appreciate the rain - we have too! and without the rain we wouldn't have the lush green countryside that epitomises Britain in spring."

enjoy!

rain-coat

hello everyone,

sorry I have been a bit absent these last few days, there has been a lot to take in. someone even spotted a Fifi Lapin for LeSportSac bag on a Japanese TV show 'boys over flowers' - how cool is that...

hello little lady, what's that you've got there?

Oh my you have such great taste! A Fifi Lapin for LeSportSac bag, how did you get your hands on one of those? I can't even get my sticky paws on one!

I'm hoping that I am going to be able to bring you even more Fifi products one day but one step at a time eh... So anyway onto more important things. fashion shows! yes the new Autumn Winter 09 collections are beginning to strut themselves down the catwalk with the help of those long legged amazonian beauties, gosh they are tall aren't they - I feel like a midget when I go backstage!

So I had a sneak peek at Jenni Kayne (held at her parents house - don't you just love nosying around other peoples houses!) all very elegant and wearable and it looks like the trend for nerd glasses is set to run and run...

It's valentines day on saturday and I am so excited, Sonny says he is planning a little surprise for me!

a little bit about Fifi Lapin the most stylish of all rabbits

Good news everyone, the first print has been released for sale on the LeSportSac website. I love the new lunch date sac. I'm going to get two, one for me and one for Ruby. I was going to get one for Sonny but I'm not sure he'll dig the pink base colour!

he'll just have to wait for the sweethearts print - He'll like that one because he's on it - he is such a big head!

I really hope you all like them

oh and as promised here is the interview translated from little thing magazine...


NOT EVERY RABBIT CAN BE FIFI LAPIN!

1,Besides carrot, what is your favorite food?

Hmm, lettuce maybe, but it’s hard to beat a good carrot especially when it’s combined with cake!


2,You are indeed slim and chic, please share your secret of keeping yourself in excellent shape all the time

Well being a rabbit I do tend to eat a lot of vegetables which are very good for me. However, thanks to my carrot cake addiction I am a little round in the middle but I can hide that quite well with the help of some giant control knickers


3,Would you be glad to show us some of your hats? Are they custom made (for your ears)?

Yes I have some lovely hats, I just love them, I think they suit my cute little face really well. I get them customized with little slits so I can put my famously long and silky ears through.


4,How about your glasses ?

No need for me to customize glasses, luckily my head is quite big and they come up quite tight so they don’t fall off! I have a huge collection, my all time favorites are the split lens ones from Chanel


5,What’s your childhood like? What’s the dream you held when you were a bunny?

As you may have read before I lost my brothers and sisters to myxamatosis (a horrid illness that rabbits can get) when I was very little but really I was too young to remember. My childhood was really very happy. My parents doted on me and they loved to travel to all corners of the globe. It was at this time that I fell in love with the fashion capitals of the world and found my true calling - professional fashionista!

When I was little I used to dream of being a famous model like Twiggy or Kate but really I knew it would never come true, I just don’t have the legs for it. So I gave that up. Now I am aiming for plain old fashion icon. Coco Chanel is my muse


6,What did you wear when you are a little bunny? Dior baby or something else ?

Of course, baby Dior, baby Chanel, baby Gucci, I was sick on them all!


7,What is inside your handbag?

Some lippy and blusher, my cell phone, my gold card and a pair of emergency Lanvin ballet flats (shoes) even fashionistas get sore paws


8,Can we have a look at your wardrobe? Or would you describe it to us?

Actually It’s a whole room that I converted into a walk in wardrobe. I never wear the same thing twice and my clothes are forever changing so I need to have plenty of room. I had it custom made so that everything is exactly as I wanted it. It’s all set up like the most beautiful boutique with space between each item of clothing. my pet hate is when things are all squashed in so you can’t see anything. I have special shelves for my shoes and hats and a gorgeous old wood chest of drawers where I keep all my accessories. I give a lot of things away to my friends so they love coming to visit, there’s a lovely antique chaise and Louis chair and an art deco table for our refreshments. We can spend hours in there just having fun getting dressed up.


9,How can we interpret expression on your face? what's the signal I should be looking for which means you are happy

When I’m having my picture taken I go for the ‘sullen model’ look which is why sometimes I can look a little moody. If you look closely at some of my shots I am trying not to laugh! Also when I’m really happy my right ear bends inwards a bit, it’s weird I know but it’s true!


10,Do you love dresses more than trousers?

Oh yes definitely, trousers can sometimes make me look a little dumpy and anyway dresses are just way more fun


11,Other than styling and shopping what else do you commit yourself to ?

I support animal rights I never buy makeup that’s tested on animals, ew I can’t even bear to think about it. And if I like something with fur on it I always have one specially made for me using the fake stuff. It's very good you know. On a lighter note I love watching old films and also home décor. My favourite Sunday afternoon activity is browsing the fleamarkets at Porte de Clignancourt in Paris, Oh I’ve come back to shopping again, whoops!


12,Do you have some favorite games or toys?

when I was little I had a stuffed Peter rabbit toy that I used to take everywhere with me, it was so raggedy my parents used to try and swop it for other toys but I would never give it up, I’ve still got it somewhere


13,What’s your favorite book, and music? Please tell us some of your favorite movies.

Watership down breaks my heart every time and I also loved the velveteen rabbit when I was little, I don’t have much time to read novels but I just love fashion magazines! I have a really varied taste in music from Kimya Dawson to Kitty Daisy and Lewis. I’m also keen to hear Amy Winehouse’s new album, I’ve always wondered what I’d look like with a giant beehive.

As I mentioned earlier I love the classic Hollywood era. Sabrina and Breakfast at Tiffanys with the lovely Audrey, Top Hat starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and anything with Katharine Hepburn. Their glamour is just so appealing to me.


14,Name some items you like to collect in life?

Hmm, clothes, shoes, hats, handbags, jewellery etc. etc.
Oh and friends too!


15,What’s your favorite little things?

A beautiful biba bangle that my mother wore when she was younger and a tiny framed black and white picture of me and my childhood friend Ruby in a photo booth in New York. It was our first trip together and you can see how excited we are


16,Who has the strongest influence on your styling? Before and present ?

All the designers past and present who allow me to wear their amazing creations


17,Can you describe the so-called FASHION in your definition?

?


18,Given the choice, what place on the planet would you like to live?

Anywhere nice – as long as its London, New York, Paris or Milan!


19,How will you describe your Aesthetic ?

Cute and eclectic


20,Is there anything you can’t live without?

My puppy Stella, I can’t imagine life without her now that she’s finally toilet trained!

Hope I didn't sound to much of an airhead!

Christmas is a comin

My Christmas cheer comes a little earlier than others... not only do I just love Christmas and get totally over excited much earlier than anyone else (cue Sonny rolling his eyes!) I also have a little shop to run which relies on the Christmas postman (or as I like to think of him - Santa)

So now I have to go all sensible and tell anyone who lives in the USA (and some other international destinations) that this Wednesday is the deadline for me to post in time for Christmas and for anyone who lives in Europe Friday is your day

So if you're planning to give a little festive Fifi cheer get your orders in quick!

and for anyone who like little old me lives in Britain it's not till the 20th December so you can relax!

So that's the boring bit over, onto more exciting things... if you're lucky enough to get your paws on the Christmas issue of Milk Magazine you can have your very own Fifi and Sonny Christmas card showing the fun that Sonny and I got up to the last time it snowed. We were so excited, like being a kid again, just building snowrabbits and having snowball fights. I do wish we had more of the white stuff it just makes things so magical. Here are some more magical icy moments from some of my Flickr faves...

1. Crystal World, 2. you do not belong here anymore, 3. reflections (A), 4. Tracy Arm Glacier, 5. first snow, 6. Untitled, 7. Untitled, 8. fantastic fox...., 9. what the snoman learned about love, 10. 51*366/Each One Unique..., 11. Luz dorada, 12. 4, 13. Untitled, 14. a door in the floor, 15. Tombe la neige......, 16. Untitled

it's amazing what a little snow can do for the spirits, just check out that fox.

Oh I almost forgot I have some new cute postcard packs in the shop, I'm really pleased with how they came out so have a little peek and let me know what you think

have a great Monday
