Planing for the heat

To escape the Olympics we are going to Morocco and it will be very hot so I have been thinking tunics and kaftans ...browsing the web I found... not a lot actually.

I was looking for very soft muslim like indian cotton once NOTHING so I had to remind myself that I make children's clothes and made one. I also choose some nice silk bits from the Summer Collection as silk is excellent for the heat, in the hope that my girls will agree on wearing them.

AW12 Collection

I always love working on the shoots for the collections I have a clear picture and story in my head and with the help of some wonderful photographers and filmmakers can visualise them

Movement

I came to London and studied with this inspirational lady Hilde Holger
http://www.hildeholger.com/ the images on the website are wonderful


People like Lindsay Kemp, who worked with David Bowie on his miming performances...took her classes

She taught me that all art forms melt , so my choreography and love for movement are very present when designing Kids Wear

Postures attract me
