SIK






Thought it was about time we showed you what we can do! This is a snippet from our final collections from 3rd year. This has really given us a taste for what we're in for this year...and we're totally up for the challenge. Watch this space to see how we get on!

Chip'funks' store nuts

Ive never really questioned what lies unearthed in peoples handbags... its like that male 'golden rule' - never enter a womans handbag unless told to.. (Hah my Dad dreaded the day i suggested my pocket money increased and i could enter the womans society of handbag glory... )...
For me handbags dont really get emptied. 20p for the bus - its in there - eyeliner, oh yeah its around there along with the makeup stains and tissues, pins for that DIY moment and of course sweets a plenty because i eat far too much..however, beware when that lining starts ripping; its all fine and well finding your long lost necklace scurrying around.. but an old sticky sweetie.. EWWWW
SO again...Ive never really questioned what lies unearthed in peoples handbags.. Until a moment in London. The tube. Kensington. Approx 1.30pm. A slim Jim fellow. Japanese. Clutching onto his Vivienne Westwood man satchel..pondering over his nails, which my my good sir you keep manicured..He turned his white cuff up over his worn and torn jumper. Tweaked his glasses..smoothed the hair. Then he reached in ...this glorious Vivienne Westwood fine leather satchel, resting on his lap, all spanking new; What was he going to pull out - an ipod..a matching wallet..a notebook (hes just had an amazing though).
NUTS!! a cling filmed sack of nuts. I giggled..no one heard and im thinking no one looked because its london..which is why the guy obviously felt at ease to release his clingfilmed punnet of nuts into the tube as no one would question it at all.... EXCEPT ME!! He opened it carefully, pouring the nuts into his mouth..only to quickly wrap them up dive in again and produce ANOTHER bag of mixed nuts.
WHAT THE HELL IS IN THERE FINE FELLOW!!
I have to say..hes nut storage was an inspiration. Maybe we can all go nuts and store away our food for winter in divine leather bags. No one would never know after all - because ' You shouldnt enter a womans handbag unless told to.
Word HU-Mans.. xxEDAJ

LANDAN!

So laydees

Did we all have a fabulous, inspiring, fun, time in London? A particular highlight for me was Simian Mobile Disco awoo although we did travel on the train for an hour!! The SHOWstudio exhibition made me think alot more about the use of the web in publicising a brand or designer......................... Sexually explicit images at the Tate Modern by Jeff Koons, the sex beast were a source of much giggling like a 12 year old but well worth a visit!! Also the fabric shops were full of goodies and nice helpful staff....... for a change, especially loving the rather decedant well dressed fella in the Cloth Shop! Also wo else loved CDG at Dover Street Markert?? Tres inspiring!

Was struck tonight by a rather alarming fact, were just about to head into our 5th week of term and I'm afraid to say ive not got much to show yet WOOPS!!

Better go & get my ideas out of my head and into some sort of Project Diary!!
