Friends with benefits

Ok, I meant to post this before christmas, so I've been naughty and am pretending I wrote this along time ago, just try and stop me!!
I hate gushing about people, but she's so lovely I can't help it!: On my foundation year at Ravensbourne I met the beautiful and super talented Ellen Stewart, who is now doing fashion textiles and print at LCF. The week before xmas 2012 she booked her first ever stall at Old Spitalfield Market and sold her one of a kind prints. This was her first venture into selling her own hand painted work and I'm so proud of Nelly. It was an mad mix of colour and shapes (just like her!) that I can't wait to see more of sold on a larger scale in the future. Make sure you watch out for 'Magenta Prints' in future:

Year 1 Shirt Project

My shirt was based on vintage pyjamas, northern soul, the architecture of Cesar Manrique and the cool, relaxed look of Annie Hall. Note the flared panel that causes a twist in the entire shirt, the twist was enhanced by the fabric being cut on the bias.
