late night production

SS'11 shirt collection now stocked in Labour of Love. 193 Upper St, Islington, London. This feels like very apt product placement for me.

(Also available worldwide! from me on a made-to-order basis. Lets not be so London-centric :))

Pattern

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...
