I popped into the Accessorise and Monsoon shop last week in Barcelona and came across one of my prints, on a blouse for Children’s Wear…….. second year around but in a different colour-way, which is a nice compliment!

I was in London last week and went to the ‘Brit Insurance Designs of the Year’ exhibition at The Design Museum. It was very interesting, and broken down into several categories such as Fashion, Furniture and Architecture to name a few. Click on the link above and check out the website. There are some very impressive design contributions and the way they impact our lives from every day use as well as presenting us with strong global and social messages. The Graphics exhibit was very cool and I liked a few of the magazine covers which encouraged me to look into a few more printed editions, of which I have included at the bottom of the page!

Here are a few more designed covers from Geigy that I also like…..
I read about this article on Vogue.com a while back and would love to go but can’t unfortunately make the performance dates. ‘Snow White and the Seven Designers’ is aptly named as designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and Giorgio Armani have come together to design costumes for a new pantomime that will be performed on stage in London this coming October 2010. Other names involved are Zandra Rhodes, Pucci, Amanda Wakeley, Paul Smith, Thomasz Starzewski and Bruce Oldfield. The ‘seven’ are- Dapper, Snazzy, Natty, Classy, Dizzy, Snappy, and Taupey! The story retells the well known fairytale and they fight together to challenge London’s biggest threat- ugly interiors and bad taste! It stars some of interior designs leading people and promises a beautiful visual of costumes.The pantomime is showing at the Garrick Theatre, London from the 12-16th October 2010. All of the proceeds raised will go to Dementia UK. Love the idea and hope it goes well!
