You never know where you’re going to find inspiration. I saw these tree roots and just loved how tangled and alive they look.

I got to go to Wales for a shoot this weekend. It wasn’t an easy trip – changing trains and platforms while carrying a rail and several cases but it was worth it. I’m a city girl through and through but I do love the countryside for a day.
Of course we got to stay in a charming hotel called The Hand and have a good hearty breakfast.

I have always been fascinated by the history of quilting so I was quite excited when Jeff Garner of Prophetik told me there was going to be quilting in his AW 11 collection. When I learned that he was going to cut up his grandmother Lola’s 100 year old quilts I think my heart stopped for a moment, but Jeff was right to reycle them. Really, a quilt is made up of off cuts of fabric and worn dresses etc so it’s already been recycled once – so why not again? One of the pieces (the quilted jacket) is actually Jeff’s childhood quilt – even he found it amazing to see it on the catwalk!
I took the image above when I happened to be on a location shoot just outside london. The lady who owned the house makes quilts but she had to import her machine from the US as she couldn’t get one here.

Look out for Jenny Postle’s collection from Central St. Martin’s MA 2011 Show – loved her collection! This micro trend is growing fast and I think were going to be seeing more patchwork and quilting. Check out the Fashion and Textile museum as they are offering a quilting workshop!

This season I was able to see quite a few shows at the Old Sorting Office by My Beautiful City. I really enjoyed Henry Holland’s show, it was so fun and upbeat, and you felt like you could wear so many pieces in the collection. Love the red lips with a hint of pink!

I’ve worked with Alice Palmer for a few seasons and she’s one of my favourite people. Knitwear designers are a breed of their own. Alice often tells me that knitwear designers have their heads in the clouds and that they work at their own pace.
Alice is visionary as she’s constantly working on new techniques and ways to develop her three dimensional knits. Her monrchrome collection explores the ideas of negative and positive space – not an easy thing to do in knitwear. Many of her designs are very detailed and intricate and still very wearable.
Backstage at Vauxhall Fashion Scout waiting for the show to start!
The super cool jewelery is designed by Karen-Ann Dicken.
