UPCYCLED COLLECTIONS @ London Fashion week

Posted on October 5, 2022

The Indian summer, combined with everything from Open house, London Fashion week (LFW), Thames festival, London design festival, (with it’s ever growing number of districts) Theatre, Arts, and the abundance of free events, makes September my favourite month of the year. I dare say, this plethora of events constantly lays bear my sometimes indecisive side, causing me to dip my toes here , there, everywhere, and never fully immersing myself. I often need something to focus my schedule around this…

MOTHER OF THE GROOM OUTFIT

Posted on October 18, 2021

When my son announced that he had proposed, my first thoughts were, wow! That’s grown up stuff, followed by, are you sure?/ are you happy? okay congratulations.

Prior to that,…

Liberated collaborations

Posted on August 20, 2015

Whilst not a big fan of floral prints, over the years, I have come to have an appreciation for them .

Experimenting with nature.

Posted on February 24, 2015

There’s something about the grains in wood, the texture, and the smell, that just does it for me. I like the way it looks, the variation in the colours, and the strength of it.
