OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

Graduate Fashion Week News
Graduate Fashion Week was before the New Designers Show, and now seems so long ago....My garments are not aimed at the fashion market, as they are art based and tell stories in cloth and stitch; however they generated a lot of interest and some contacts.The highlight for me was in winning the Graduate Fashion Week "First Word" journalism award....this was unexpected as I had sent the article in at the very last minute after staying up all night to write it! The award was presented by Hillary Alexander, fashion journalist and Sarah Bailey, editor of Harper's Bazaar.I was determined not to cry, but was quite "stunned" by it all...a night to remember.
