FASHION DESIGN INGREDIENTS -THE CLOTH HOUSE LONDON






 There are very few fabric and haberdashery shops that inspire.
but a visit to The Cloth House, London provides a unique experience.
There are a wide range of goodies to spark off ideas for designs.
Everything in the shop from furniture to product has been lovingly 
sourced and artfully presented. 
Drawing by me for C.
on her departure from London ... and The Cloth House.

FRESH START..LET L'ORANGE IN


A 1926  'Mode Pratique'  I purchased in Paris in 1996. Nice 20ies silhouettes.
Rachel Whiteread Drawing exhibiton flyer. The exhibiton at Tate Britain was very inspiring. 
I love the way she uses varnish, resin and whiteout to draw on graph paper. 
Her work has a really quiet flow and inspired experimental quality.
Fashion story from Sunday Times style supplement. Great colour combinations, ultra modern feel.
Olafur Eliasson: The weather project 2003/04.One of my favourite artists 
and exhibitions in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, London. His work is amaaazing!
Eadward Muybridge  photo of Shoshone Indians,1869.
