Better late than never!
















Ins Kino has launched its first collection just in the nick of time for SS'11. - a capsule collection of women's wear silk shirts, hand printed and constructed 100% in London.
Aside from frantic sessions in the print studio and cycling round London delivering samples like a very inefficient courier, I don't feel like I've done much of the actual production work myself. Its been a throughly collaborative process getting this baby off the ground; and there are many friends to whom I am much indebted -

Hanna Sager Forsberg for the pattern cutting (who also creates beautifully simple clothes, check out her website...)
Anawoura and Rahima for the sewing
Mat from Playarea for the logo and general egging on
Rob from lcf for the digital print assistance
Dan for use of the studio (Dan makes lovely bespoke wallpapers and furnishings, http://www.danielheath.com)
And Lark Rising for the constant consultations.

Phew. Phewey! So there you go. I'm really pleased with it. Hope you like it too.
All thats left now is securing stockists...

Fashion tourism in Antwerp


Dogs invigilating in galleries, Walter and me, bread and sellotape; a lovely juxtaposition. It is now my ambition to have my clothes stocked in the RA shop down Kloosterstraat. One day...

Know your garden!

Just finished reading this seminal book which gives real insight to early '70s thinking. Pretty cosmic stuff. Wicked cover by Alan Aldridge too.

There is a river flowing now very fast

A friend gave me this. Sounds exciting doesn't it?

There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World

Installation by Chris Cobb in the Adobe Bookshop, San Francisco where books were re-organised according to their colour. Makes so much more sense than the Dewey Decimal system n'est-ce pas?

Fondu


Found these old postcards of Cheddar caves at the Kingsland Waste. I think the yellow is supposed to represent molten cheese.

I'm off to California for a month to find some inspiration.
