Autumn Dressing

Autumn is my favourite season.  Often brilliant sunshine against cloudless blue skies and falling leaves in all their colourful glory.  Dressing for the weather couldn't be better,  be enveloped in sumptuous layers of silk, cashmere and wool and welcome the North wind!

Tailored wool coat with deep pockets and a swish hem
 worn with scarf, merino wool / silk
and elbow length fingerless gloves, lambswool / angora.

Phil Fisk


     I love this shot! Its a Pauline Burrows suit and was taken by Phil Fisk in his London studio.
I was thinking 'Twin Peaks'. 
Phil, being a master of lighting, has set the scene and mood and pulled it off perfectly.

Steel grey suit in wool linen blend.
Ready to wear or bespoke.

London Design Festival – John Pawson's Perspectives


John Pawson's Perspectives

The UK’s leading minimalist, John Pawson, and Swarovski Crystal Palace have created a spectacular installation in the Geometric Staircase of St Paul’s Cathedral to reveal a new perspective of this architectural masterpiece and the genius of Sir Christopher Wren.  

Perspectives’ is unveiled during the London Design Festival, 17th 
to 25th September, and will remain open to the public until January 2012.  

Reflecting Wren’s desire that his buildings should incorporate scientific elements, ‘Perspectives’ uses the largest Swarovski lens ever manufactured to create a dramatic optical experience which depends on scientific subtlety, material simplicity and a complex combination of light, space and proportion to reflect an environment rich in history and beauty.
