From underwear to outerwear and everything in between

Just a super quick update on everything that is happening in this crazy world at the moment....

I have recently spent the last few weeks working at J.W. Anderson. Menswear and womenswear company, based in London, which has been great fun. Lots of hard work (but no one said life would be easy, and I'd only complain if it was!) Currently in the midst of production, working on creating the collections that will be going into Liberty's and on ASOS, which is rather exciting that something I will have sewn will be sold in one of the long established British department stores. More on that as and when I have info...

Next, I've been asked to become a blogger for Enamore. Which I'm really happy to be working with Jenny and the new team again and should be really good and interesting experience.

The blogs will span all sorts of topics and will coincide the launch of the new website, which will land in early July.. so not long now at all!

I also have a few other side projects, which I am in the process of completing so will have more to explain and promote when the smaller details have been finalised, but for now that should pretty much cover a very hectic few weeks!

Not content with conducting work experience in London, starting a new job, moving into a new house and being part of the driving force behind the fundraising show, influenced by my work experience at Enamore as well as a ever growing love of Jack Vettriano and Gil Elvgreen I decided to create a 1940's inspired fashion collection. (workaholic you say... who, me??!)

You Had Me From Hello

Last summer, I worked for a month with creative hemp company, Enamore. Based in Bath, meant I spent part of the week living and working in Bath with company owner Jenny and the rest of the time at my part-time job. Inspired by a love of 1940's pin ups - very similar to my own - Jenny and I instantly hit it off. Working on the website, photoshoots and creating a few garters and eye masks, I had the best month of my degree. I was really inspired by Jenny. She is a wonderful person with a fabulously creative mind. Her work is amazing. Check out www.enamore.co.uk.

As part of my work experience with Jenny, she asked me to help her with her London Fashion Week show in September, at first I was going to help backstage, but as it came to the event, Jenny asked a huge favour of me to model her 1940's pin up inspired underwear. The event was held at the Buddha Bar in London and was an amazing day.
