While shooting my outerwear collection in July, my photographer Kay Choudri at Specchio Photography created a fantastic behind the scenes video of the process behind the photos.
The video can be found on youtube and instagram!

I'm looking for a photographer, model(s), hair and make-up artist and
possibly a stylist for an outerwear shoot of coats and jackets. I have mood boards and have an idea about what I want but I'm looking for people to help me create the look I'm after. If this sounds of interest to you, please feel free to get in touch or log on to Purpleport and see the casting call in full. http://purpleport.com/castings/122132/A-Creative-team-needed-for-a-TFP-Outerwear-Photoshoot-/
A hauntingly beautiful tribute to a true creative.
Every room exuded beauty and emotion, and took you on a journey through
his collections that let the clothes speak for themselves. Quotes on the walls
let the designer explain his ideas and reasoning in his own words, making his
presence felt throughout. My personal favourite was the 'Skull and Bones' room;
the craftsmanship that went into the presentation and atmosphere of the space
that held the 'Eshu' Collection (from AW 2000-2001) was truly amazing.
An exquisite exhibition that is definitely a must see!

I've been working on a number of projects recently and I'm delighted to be able to share one of them with you!
Denim Collection: Breakground
Looking to the inspirational architectural structures of Zaha Hadid, I wanted to experiment with these avant-garde buildings by representing them in contrasting panels, abstract prints and laser cut textures. The result is a comprehensive collection of pieces that are simple and functional to wear but still maintain a unique sense of style.
You can see all of the new project work on my online portfolio at the following website:
I've always been interested in ecological ideas and have created a few projects over the years exploring different 'eco' options.
Take a look at my eco design portfolio on Issuu.com to see some of the creative outcomes!
In addition, a couple of years ago I had a large amount of used pattern paper that I wanted to generate into something new. I didn't like the idea that the paper was being wasted so I chose to create origami forms of insects and shapes from the natural world to 'return' the paper to its origins (albeit metaphorically).
Its been a while since I posted as I've been working on a number of different projects, including teaching fashion at a local college.
However, its now time to showcase some of the new work thats been in production...so expect some more new work soon!
I've become more interested in prints recently and for this project I decided to experiment with soft furnishings. The idea came from a series of sketches based on shattered glass and ice; I really like how spontaneous they look when they shatter.
