DAFT @ EPIPHANY '06

2006-10-27T02:07:00.000-07:00

After a hectic 2 months preparation and perspriration, the show went on! It was a fantastic experience, thanks to Laura, Elleanor, Gemma, Cara, Hannah and Hildana for looking amizing in the collection. Also thanks to Sam, Genelva and all the contributers who made the event possible. Also a big thanks to my family and friends who supported me on the night. I've put together a little montage from the event, the catwalk stills will be coming soon!!

Looking the part

2006-10-14T04:21:00.000-07:00

!!!Special Preview!!!! Here's 2 outfits for the show

The completed Denim mini with pleated frill hem. The hem frill is composed of a front and a back leg piece from a pair of jeans! I had plenty left over so there are appliqued inserts in the jacket to contrast the Stone-washed denim. Bracelet length sleeves with gathering detail at the cuff.

this hand woven denim coat/dress with 'belt loop' d-ring belt took 40 hours to construct and finish. Accompanied by a pair of cut-off jeans that have a woven hem from a contrasting pair of jeans...

RANDOM MADNESS

2006-06-04T10:46:00.000-07:00

This little collection of paraphernalia and collateral was gathered myself, not unlike how a squirrel collects nuts - these things are keys to distant memories.. Triggers to a 10 second flashback of a moment in it's purest... the last nite of God's Kitchen at the Sanctuary, my graduation show in London (if you were on the bus you know who you are!) some random facts about sunglasses, but i digress.. this image was captured in 2002 - just another memory, but a good one. phew!

NOT SO LAZY SUNDAYS

2006-04-09T11:58:00.000-07:00

I have generated lots of different methods of creating something new and exciting for my customers. My examples are taken from a sample range i have produced to show the varieties of techniques available to you.

These pieces were created in 2005 for Caroline and Amina (pictures to follow), they have fantastic detail in appliqued designs and text.

GET THIS

2006-04-03T12:09:00.000-07:00

Get a load of the old logo, soak it up 'cos you wont see another exactly like it. I make them new every time. This is how i identify myself when you cannot see me. Wherever you see these beautiful letters, you can guess that ive been tinkering to make you perceive these old garments in a new light.
It's my baby so a big KEEP YER MITS OFF off 2 corporations and any1 else who likes to blag people's good ideas (like it'll stop you but there, i've said my piece).

I am not a sun-burnt hippie

Taken by an amauteur photographer, this is a unique opportunity to see how stupid i look when i've got my eyes shut. I cant say i look much better with my eyes open, but hey we're all pink inside.

DAFTSTUFF, this a new to blogging blog. I know there's going to be some stuff a bit later on that will get you very excited, but for now i want to clear up a few things. Daft ? what does it mean?

To me it's not just about stuff thats maybe a bit silly (although it's not completely ruled out!). This is something iv'e been thinking about for a long time. That's right folks, I had a dream. Now it's starting to be realised. Step1,
