Friday 11th April: Principal Colour

Teo finished the look book and we received the mock-up back from the printers to approve. I love the colour keys that come on the edge of the print out.............

Thurs 10th April: I Love Pictures

Two thirds of the studio are feverishly working away on the upcoming Tim Walker exhibition at the Design Museum (9 May - 7 September). Andy Hillman is co-curating the layout with integrated installations and Teo Connor is doing the artwork and graphics for the project campaign. Here are some of Alex Cunningham's beautiful behind-the-scenes shots from an Italian Vogue shoot last May. I am having fun peering at the mock up model of the exhibition and imaging myself already there. It is going to be INCREDIBLE!

Thurs 10th April: Lucky Star

Maki Lou Lou (a regular face on my blog) has recently made minature replica dolls for Dazed's latest Madonna project. They have been turned into an animation which is showing on Dazed Digital...............check out the attention to detail of the teeny tiny costumes.............

Weds 9th April: Aggy on the Rocks

Bistroteque hosted a fish'n'chips dinner to celebrate former chippy Agyness Dean's Icon Issue of i-D with 6 collectable covers. The restaurant was crammed with eager takers like a rowdy school canteen. Probably due to the limitless cocktail menu that featured special sources such as "Aggy on the Rocks". This portrait was taken by her boyfriend who mixed up the roles by turning my camera back on me .............hence I have cropped myself out! But here is one of my pics of Judy Blame who made an eyepatch for her in the Tank Girl shoot similar to the hat he was sporting last night.

Tue 8th April: New i-D

The new Agyness special edition i-D is out..........including a shoot of her styled by Fran Burns as Tank Girl...........featuring accessories I was commissioned to make for the story.............here is the rocket bra that I made out of satin to mimic an old fashioned bra.......amongst the other pieces is a set of elbow pads that are from a Tank Girl outfit I made in 1995 for GCSE textiles ............this proves it is always worth keeping things..............they always come in..........even if it is 13 years later!......

Mon 7th March: Archive Photo

I have trawlled my photos from the Arnhem Biennial and cannot find a picture of Henrik Vibskov's installation............but did rediscover this inspiration snapshot (primary school classroom) ..........subconsciously I must have retained it, now I look at my collection...........
