When you've got work to do on a sunny London Sunday, you at least deserve some treats. Right? . ![]() Ricotta and WELL salted tomatoes. Damn good! ![]() Kwonggi Mountain coffee. Quite a mouthful in both name and taste. Not bad at all, but I must admit I prefer the local Union Hand-Roasted! ![]() And a beautiful hand-made cup to serve it in. Why not eh! Proof that we do occasionally make it out of the studio..
Purely because their discovery made me smile. Photos from the 2007 archive. At least the Puma/Alexander McQueen footwear collaboration was on good form!
So you'd think it can't be that hard to design an amazing ipad cover... but then you make a prototype and it's dead boring. Back to the drawing board!
Progress on the 100% handsewn. Worn at least 5 days a week for 6 months. No washing. Loving the character of the Isko selvage denim, and the way the handstitching is embedding itself into the fabric. Looking forward to the next 6 months. Bring on spring!
Things they probably won't teach you at fashion school #596... handsewing a button-hole. After hours... days... of trial and sometimes tragic error, the backyard handsewn keyhole button-hole was born. Each one unique, always evolving. Wabi-sabi?
