Catch up!

Somewhere between writing articles/essays, and pretending to work on my website, I realised I hadn't posted anything on here by way of keeping this up to date with my words…

1 Granary launched their exciting new website, and with it came an abundance of posting! I interviewed Maiko Takeda about her upcoming work, and she managed to keep very quiet about her designs adoring Bjork in her new album. Nevertheless, it was interesting to chart Takeda's career from the last time I saw her work at Somerset House.

I didn't think the title "lick and tickle" would get past my editor, but my cheeky writing paid off (I'll be annoying everyone on my Facebook with it for a week!). Casper Werner's upmarket up-cycling is something of intrigue - he tickles a classical dress with the start contradiction of brush bristles.

Not much, but I didn't think that posting an 8-page essay would even be interesting to any of my fellow fashion historians! More soon ~

Artist Tim Shaw talks skeletons, taxidermy and surgery | 1Granary

"In many ways,  Tim Shaw is the fine artist you'd expect: dedicated, inspired and always working. Before we reach the halfway point in our interview, however, talk of instagram developing a "jaegermeister goggles" filter releases contagious laughter with a glint of mischief. His shoes are straight laced, coming undone at one side; just as his work is "seemingly fragile, yet robust", his personal life balances between states of regimented chaos and fun instilled in him from childhood"

Knitwear graduate Pauline Edvall shares her "purls" of wisdom

""Oogum Boogum", the best accompaniment to BA Knitwear graduate Pauline Edvall's energetic prints, rang across the runway. The tone was set, when melody and material united; securing the graduate as "one to watch". As the show closed, the designer was miles away, mentally plotting her first acts as a CSM alumni: coach surfing in France".

4 Prada Jackets, 1 Homage and a Handful of Cherubs - 20 minutes with Alexander Fury

"Alex, while filled with Fury on Twitter, sits next to me collectedly as caretaker pack away the remnants of the 'Word Week' talk hosted by AnOther magazine at the Design Museum last week. Despite this being his second interview of the day, he is still animated as he fervently talks fashion, sat with the energy of a child told to keep still. With the same enthusiasm as a child perhaps, however, Alex is eloquent, his responses considered, and his knowledge unrivalled".
