It suddenly occurred to me that on my blog I never talk to you about my clothes design but I assume you all know what I do to earn my living. Actually right now we are finalising all our collections for winter 2010 as we will be showing them immediately after Christmas. For those of you that don’t know my team and I design 13 collections twice a year - this includes clothes for men and women plus accessories and shoes. The frightening thing is that on Monday I will start on initial ideas for spring 2011!! Help!!

On Wednesday night, I was invited to talk at Oakham School, Rutland. Before I started the talk two of the students showed me round their art and design facilities which I have to say are really fantastic. I then went on to talk about how I started out and how I work. It was an really interesting evening with great feedback from the students.
