The Royal Collage of Art was transformed for it’s MA fashion show.


It’s really important to see London’s new talent. At the RCA there are 32 postgraduate students in menswear, womenswear, knitwear, accessories, footwear and millinery who are showcasing their garments both on the catwalk and in a static exhibition. I didn’t get see any other shows this week as I’d been quite busy shooting so it was good to see at least one show. The life of a designer is not as glamorous as it looks. It’s highly competitive and in a couple of minutes you’ve been judged on your life’s work - it’s quite brutal but I’m not sure that there’s a better process.

I’m a terrible knitter so I’m very appreciative and awe-inspired by people who can knit. When I saw this wedding dress in Harrods (displayed at the “Origins” counter) I just loved it! It’s called ‘The Elizabeth’, and it was designed and hand-knitted by Jemma Sykes for Butcher Couture. The dress is made from 100% certified organic wool and dyed naturally in soft pink. I really love the name ‘Butcher Couture’ and their specialty is 100% organic bovine leather!
