Arriving in Trieste and experiencing ITS10 for a few days of madness!
Low Spots - The yarn bill for this season! What it was like showing in Paris
Paris was great, I was selected by a panel set up by Artsthread and Who’s Next, so was showing alongside eight other graduates. It was a whole new experience being on ‘the other side’ of one of the huge trade fairs, and meeting a whole range of clientele from buyers, to factories from Hong Kong. It was really interesting to see who liked the collection. It was also great to meet other graduates who are in a similar position to me!
What have you been working on most recently?
I finally got the Autumn/Winter collection all finished, photographed and, with the help of my graphic design hero, Keith Hancox, (
www.keithhancox.com) got my look books, swing tags and all my promo material ready and looking slick for London Fashion Week.
Showing with Vauxhall Fashion Scout during The Week was an amazing experience. It exposed my new collection to a really wide range of buyers and press and I was able to make some great contacts, from potential buyers to potential manufacturers. Alongside that I’ve been doing more freelance for Rowan and doing freelance machine knit sample production in my studio.
My samples have just come through for the Skunkfunk collection which is due for release in September (
www.skunkfunk.com) and they look fantastic. Skunkfunk and I are really happy with it and can’t wait for the release.
Yesterday I was at a Rowan photo shoot with Marie Wallin in East London, to see some of the designs I’ve done recently for Studio 28 being shot; the team did a great job and it looked SO good!
And what’s next?
I’m just going to keep working hard and see where it takes me!
How do you see yourself in ten year’s time? I’ll have gained a lot more experience and still be creating! Hopefully with a little house in the country, some dogs and a clapped out old land Rover!
And your ultimate dream? To keep doing something I love.
