The London Look Part II
The outfit in the centre of the pic above is the work of Katie Eary, her take on menswear was definitely eye-catching, this pic off the Vand A webite shows it in greater detail...
Previously, my visits to the Vand A have been purely fashion focused but this time I was lucky enough to have tea and scones (well ,erm cappucino and scone/brownie) in the William Morris tearooms, and what a delight it was...
An expected treat we stumbled across whilst London bound, was an exhibition of graduate surface designers at free range, a really beautiful exhibition, I felt like a kid in a candy store!!
The work above is from surface designer Geraldine Gunning, truly delectable!
These beautiful textile prints above, are the labours of Samantha Johns.

The London Look Part I
Sorry couldn't resist...that was part of the V&A exhibition by the way, some rather spectacular musical instruments.
Some shots of RCA graduate work, I was most impressed by the work of Iacopo Calamandrei...
His work was inspired by the Renaissance, a fitting theme for an Italian, his prints were most impressive. A definite one to watch.
