LDF

I think it is now tradition for me to visit London for the Design Festival! This year I spent the day in Shoreditch and saw Emerge at The Cube and Gastrotypographicalassemblage at the Kemistry Gallery. Read more here

Crop

Crop - 'For creatives in and around Farnham. A platform for free thinking minds to land in one room.'

This was a truely inspiring evening! An highly engaging talk from Simon Waterfall, founder of Poke and Fray, partner of Social Suicide and ex president of D&AD, was filled with anecdotes and advice about working within the design industry, at all levels (and meeting the queen!). The night also showcased the work of Alison Haigh, a graduate from Brighton university who had her award winning work on display and for sale.

Crop was organised by Bekker and Rebecca at the Mulberry. I hope there will be many more to come (and lots more of these lovely invites)

Nottinghill Carnival

August bank holiday weekend means only one thing - Nottinghill Carnival! This year I bravely went for both days and it was fully worth it for the atmosphere, colourful eye candy and jerk chicken!

Maison Martin Margiela

A fascinating exhibition at Somerset House celebrating 20 years of one of contemporary fashion’s most influential and enigmatic designers. I really enjoyed the multi layered element to this exhibition, with various rooms which incorporated garments, installations, photography and film. Graphics for this exhibition were created by Bob Verhelst and Paul Boudens.
