WE ARE IN FULL SPIN for the FX Awards and our new panel of judges will have decided on the shortlist by the end of this month, so we are very excited at FX Towers. And it is full steam ahead with the magnificent stage sets for the celebration of your projects on 30 November at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London. Black
tie, glamour and Miles Jupp, who has confirmed as our presenter for the night. After three years it will be magnificent to see you all again – and it will be the celebration of your designs, and the party to end all parties. To radical thinkers, we had a magnificent discussion on patterns
from the leading lights of our industry on pattern. A lively discussion developed on how, if it does not repeat, then it becomes a design and not a pattern, and then conversation continued to address scale, size, the external influence of war, fashion and splitting the atom. A magnificent discussion which left the word ‘pattern’ feeling small and squeamish after covering such influential topics!
Tis leads me on to the Design Museum’s ‘Objects of Desire’ in which we preview how art and fashion influenced design with surrealism from the 1920s to the 1950s and includes Man Ray, Lee Miller and Italian-born French fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli who collaborated with Dalí to create some of her most Surrealist designs, such as the Skeleton Dress (1938), a black evening dress with padded representations of human bones – nice thought for the black tie drama of the FX Awards. Speaking of which, I look forward to seeing you all at the FX
Awards grand comeback! Theresa Dowling, editor
