Stockholm research
07/09/11
With the current fascination for all things Scandinavian I decided to check out Stockholm over the weekend.
To get a real feel for the light and crystal clear air I made Hotel J at Naka Strand my base, from there it’s only a 10 minute hop over to Stockholm’s city centre going by boat.
The wonderful early autumn weather, beautiful people and stunning architecture of Norrmalm and Gamla Stan coupled with the cool almost 70’s vibe of Sodermalm made it perfection itself for re-charging my creative batteries!
I also visited our exclusive stockists Skindeep – a beautifully eclectic multi-labelled boutique who have just received their new Queen & Belle Autumn Winter collection.
ps I am wearing the Queene and Belle chunky knit aran cardi “Joe” (shown in our previous blog article) perfect for cooler northern evenings!

We were delighted to welcome Caci Grinspan from specialist cashmere boutique Cashemere RED to our design studio in May.
Cashmere RED located in the mountains of Telluride, Colorado provide a unique shopping experience and stock a huge selection of scottish cashmere apparel and accessories. Telluride is widely recognized as an all-season resort but during winter the main attraction is its ski resort and celebrities can often be seen on the slopes.

Cara & Co Synergy of Art and Fashion Exhibition
06/04/11
In early March we arrived in Paris for Fashion Week. We showed the Collection at the Hotel Sofitel Le Faubourg which is a beautiful low key luxury hotel in a fantastic location in the centre of Paris.
During our stay we received an invitation to go to the Cara & Co Synergy of Art and Fashion Exhibition at Le Meurice Hotel. We had previously been asked to contribute two pieces of work for this exhibition – a garment and a wall-art object.
The synergy of art and fashion is one of the core fundamental values of the Russian concept store Cara & Co. Designers working with Cara & Co move away from the conveyor belts of mass production in order to mould a fashion garment into an actual work of art. Ultimately the distinction between art and fashion becomes virtually non-existent.
The project “Cara & Co Synergy of Art and Fashion” is aimed to convey the authenticity and eternal values of fashion, its depth, its artistry.
It was a lovely champagne reception with Rosa Alpert and Alexi Oleshov the founders of Cara & Co informing all the guests that the exhibition will carry on to cities such as Seoul, Beijing and Sydney and after the tour the pieces will be sold at auction and the proceeds will be donated to Cara & Co’s charity organization, The Sound World, which helps deaf children from all over the world benefit from cochlear implants.
