Country Eccentricty

My latest collection, inspired by Traditional English Foul with mixes of Japanese Deconstruction and Effortless.
Working in knit and woven fabrics it's an electic range from:
Simple jersey skirts to a knit to woven cape.
Fair Ilse knits with woven trims to A cape made from Jacket Facings.






Riots on the streets of London


What a hetic week, the city of freedom and choice turned turned into a place of violence and uncertinty.
Worryed faces and a silence which was only broke by sirens.
Heart pumping hoping it's not near you.




The invetiable nights, sat eyes peeled to news 24.
The mistake of going on twitter and scaring yourself silly.
The bustling streets left for boarded up windows.
The sadness of peoples loses.

All for a free tv and a pair of trakkies.


The 1990's

Talking over lunch and the conversation turns to epic fashion mistakes of childhood. The bad choices we make all in the aid to be "cool" Which seem to make us all cringe back to party outfits of the 1990's, the trousers skirts the fringed halter-tops, pink boob tubes and of course mine being the worse the lime green towling top with applique flowers in which i had to beg my mam to buy me.

But

I still think that there were some pretty epic 1990's kitch looks. What other decande could you get away with wonky fringes, sweather shop jumpers and minnie mouse.




god bless the 90's, and my unfortunate hand me downs

thinking back.


i really miss doing art, i love fashion but parts of me really miss the glue gun burns on my hands. A time when perfection wasn't expected and freedon ruled my head. And pound shops were glad of my custom.
This my favourate peice, and always will be.
