House of BlueEyes; (Designer, Johnny BlueEyes wearing the 'Crowhead' mask.














'Lord Dandilock' - £4,000

'Lord Dandilock' was one of the pieces he was showing at the House of Fairy Tales show at Theatre 34 on Westbourne Grove.

This is an evolution of the previous theme, whereby Goodwin was commissioned to create a couture fashion item for the House of Blue Eyes London Fashion Week Show.
This piece - a crow-like mask - was worn by the label owner Johnny Blue Eyes as he strutted the catwalk to launch the show.

As a result of the publicity this show received he was commissioned to create another bird-like mask for a beauty shoot for Vogue Italia (September '09 issue).

Goodwin is now working on a new collection which combines shoes, boots and masks/headdresses (the theme: A decadent Venetian masked Ball relocated to the dark depths of the Congo).
And he is also working alongside shoemaking legend Terry de Havilland who asked him to help launch his luxury couture label. XXXXXXXXXXX
