All the colours of the rainbow








This summer I was commissioned to design and produce eight dresses for a primary school play. The seven rainbow coloured dresses were for the seven 'saloon' girls, and the floral number for the 'dame'. I was restricted to a really tight time schedule, but managed to finish all eight over three days, ready for the performance.

On the Street: Miami






It's true, everyone in Miami is so well dressed! And not necessarily typically 'well' dressed either. I saw so many unusual takes on the grunge, modernism and colour blocking Spring/Summer 2009 trends whilst there in August this year. These are two shots I managed to snap from across the street.

The Beginning

Let's start with where my blog header inspiration came from. It's a picture I shot from the front row of the trend show at London Fashion Weekend, earlier this year in March.










With a range of designer's work being featured, including the likes of Matthew Williamson, Julien Mcdonald, accessories by Johnny loves Rosies and even shoes by Terry de Havilland, it was a great opportunity to be experiencing from the front row.
