Haute Couture Fall 2010.

A dolly mixture of bows, birdcages, kitten heels and be-a-utifully designed dresses. A world away from the cyber/Avatar/Garden of Eden looks we saw in Spring.

Missed Maison Martin Margiela

Unfortunately I missed my chance of seeing the latest Maison Martin Margiela exhibition at Somerset House.

My recent visit to London consisted of manning the Northumbria stand for fear of my Final Major Project getting pinched. Turns out it didn't get taken (so I could have trotted off to the Strand). No, instead it chose to be pinched back in Newcastle. Whoever believed that my 'final piece' was the actual Northumbria prospectus owes me £100 in printing costs, please.

The Finished Flock.

Finally I've finished my Final Major Project - hurrah!

Strange, and slightly annoying, to think all of my blood, sweat and tears (and lack of sleep, and increased weight) accounts to this one magazine.

Either way, I'm happy with it.
