more of the same

Ee I'm so boring.

Nah but literally anyone in London right now will understand it's literally too hot to wear anything more than this. I was even hot in my denim jacket for jeez sake. This also unfortunately (or is it?) means I always seem to be wearing at least 2 things from American Apparel. They're obviously well equipped for too-hot weather.

Been tres busy at Cooperative doing cool crazy secretive things for their upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 collection, which I can't tell you about now but I will after the show! All I'll say is it's uber-suhweet.

Stevie the mouse has disappeared oh man.

Got a lotta peeps coming down to visit me/go to Field Day this weekend, which is gonna be awesomeee, and also totally busy and stuff so no doubt I will be awol again for a while. I'm so unreliable. I'm really not in real life though.

Annnnnyway,

Can't even be bothered to explain my life inbetween now and last time, but the crack is, I'm living in London and doing a year in industry out from my Fashion Design course.

Currently on a work placement at the awesome Cooperative Designs.

I've been there just over two weeks, I'm having so much fun and learning a lotttt.

Right now we're finishing off production stuff for their Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, some of which is factory manufactured, some of which we have to make in the studio. This is getting sent to be sold in a variety of stores including Urban Outfitters, ASOS and Young British Designers.

Stuff I've been working on/made up include:

 This mohair hoodie and balloon skirt,

 this mohair and lambswool layered maxi skirt,

and these knitted camo pants.

I promise to keep you updated!

tis the season to be jolly

Wow, been a hectic couple of days! Had about a million deadlines, Christmas shopping, car re-starting, and most important of all, a trip to London for some interviews for possible work placements!

Amazingly, I've been offered placements at both Cooperative Designs and Erdem! So so excited! 2011/12 will be awesommmeee.

Finally home in Durham now, gonna spend the holidays majorly chilling, possibly punctuated by revision and the last part of my Digital Design project, haa.
