V&A: An Evening with Paul Smith
I love when the V&A museum puts their talks online! I was able to join yet another fantastic conversation last night from over 100 miles away with Paul Smith discussing his creative work which begins with storytelling , the collection of bicycles in his office (I had the privilege of visiting it as a postgrad student, his office is amazing!), why he would have liked to have invented the paperclip, his love of Japan, the Paul Smith Foundation and parting thoughts such as ‘if you only had clothes that were commercial, you’d go bankrupt’ - brilliant! . A thoroughly engaging and enjoyable evening . I wonder who will be next? 🤔
Fashion Illustrator Highlight: Kime Buzzelli
The first year students have been exploring fashion illustration recently, exploring catwalk looks with fashion illustrator drawing styles.
Kime Buzzelli featured in a number of creations; such a lovely use of colour and bold lines.

Moco Museum Highlight: Pulse Interactive by Endless Realities
Have you been to the Moco Museum at Marble Arch yet?
I'd seen this appear on social media and always a fan of experiential and immersive experiences, made it one of the exhibitions to visit recently.
It has a lovely range of graphic art, sculptures, immersive, AI and video pieces and is well worth visiting. There are 3 floors in total to explore, but a great highlight is the Pulse Interactive installation by Endless Realities. A mirrored room with evolving strobe lighting and sound that changes with movement. Reminds me a bit of Kusama's infinity room, although i must be honest...i prefer this one! :)
