'Stitch Me Up' bag in the Laden Showroom window!

The stitch me up bag I designed is in the Laden Showroom window just in time for the start of fashion week.

?Choices! - The AACDD 2011 Festival @ Bargehouse

I went to the Bargehouse this weekend, which is a great space on the southbank just behind the OXO tower. There's a show from the African and African-Caribbean design diaspora, my favourite piece was the chair pictured, designed by my friend Julie Kouamo. I love the way her printed textiles fit in so well with the textures of the walls in the space.

Manchester Visual Diary

Thank you Manchester for a most excellent long weekend. Highlights included; Trafford Centre (for it's sheer scale and vastness), the curry mile (for it's bright neon lights and tasty food), my first sheesha experience (mmmm...strawberry and watermelon smokiness), the town centre (including a magnificent waterstones), watching the Black Swan (which literally gave me chills) and MOSI, Museum of Science and Industry- watched a demonstration of all the cotton-yarn making-weaving processes (a must for textile geeks!).
