lola's circus is coming to town...

here are 2 images from the photo shoot of my graduate collection, the mood was circus folk and fantasy with a dark, dream-like twist....my influences were the vision and feeling of a record playing in an empty room, or harlequins that dance to no audience...

lola and esquire styling

the first photo's and styling by myself and samuel esquire for our premier design, a set of limited edition satin scarves based on distorted evolution and beautiful victorian deformation...

7th April... silk ruffles and pearls fuelled by easter treats

Ruffles Ruffles Ruffles !

all the fun of the fair

some knit samples based on circus fun and frolics, and an unfinished peek at one of my final sweaters.
The fair has come to Bath this week! and unfortunately it is not what i was hoping for.... no bearded lady, no vintage clockwork rides or slow dancing mimes and clowns and not a ruffle or coconut in site..... boooooo!
so i made these to make myself feel better! maybe i'll have my own fair...... hmmmm

march 29th spring time stripes and harlequins
