MA exhibitions at RCA, LCF and CSM
While we MA Fashion and Environment students have another year to go (well, 10 months, yikes!); it was great to see the Royal College of Art and Central St. Martin's work in progress exhibitions, as well as our own London College of Fashion's final MA exhibit. Very inspiring; and I am trying to imagine how it will feel being in their shoes not toooo long from now. Hence, first dose: LCF.
Location: Victoria House on Southampton Row; perfect space & size for the exhibit.

Am a bit obsessed with footwear at the mo as we're doing an exciting sustainable shoe project...

Loving the tesselation detail. Something I did for my last term's project.
Laura Gostling
Love the shape; could almost imagine Bjork wearing the ones on the left (maybe in a different colour though).
Ross Barber
Chatted with Ross a bit, really nice guy! Orginial concept of evolving shoes, made in large part with the 3D printer.
Hoon Chung
Orginal construction with just 2 screws holding the shoe in place.
... and many many more amazing MA students!

KOLDING DESIGN CAMP 2011
Kolding School of Design
Just a week after starting my MA Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion I am told I was chosen to go a fully funded Design Camp in Denmark! Exciting! It's a 2 week long project between the renowned design school in Kolding, Denmark, and lots of top schools in the world. From LCF 2 other girls, Emma and Steph, are here and from the UK also 2 students from Kingston. Students are from different deisgn backgrounds, so we have furniture, fashion, managements, communication and many more fields working together.
Speaker Cecialia Katzoff on visualising electricity
One of many brainstorms
How may we take advantage of excess wind energy to create an emotional communal experience through the medium of light to increase awareness of electricity and its use.
Saturday some of us spent in Copenhagen, a beautiful and
a book i fell in love with in Copenhagen
Amongst all the fashion books with styled, polished looks, I found this an original source of inspiration.

Clean Batik Initiative in the press
http://www.guardian.co.uk/
I am very glad to be reporting about the CBI again, as now they have come as far making it into the British Press! When I spoke to them, just over a year ago in Jakarta, they were only in their launching phase. This has spurred me on to get in touch with them to find out more, as the article is held quite general.
In Indonesia batik has regained popularity in the last couple of years and there is a lot of "fake" i.e. printed batik on polyester fabrics imported from China. In my Anglindo project I was experimenting with using less conventional patterns and motifs but the traditional wax method. Ideally I would be doing this the new, cleaner way.
It would be interested to know where this batik can be sourced from, if they take special orders and if there is any kind of guarantee for following certain guidelines.
