The leaves are actual leaves cut from a creeping vine and sprayed with the colour of decay. They are fragile and are intended to break and crumble the way the would do in reality.

Fashion Press Week Day 1
I took the chance of starting my SS12 sampling at Fashion Press Week. SS12 is inspired by my surroundings. I live and create in the countryside. This particular piece reflects the way that creeping vines have destroyed the fabric of brick walls and have even suffocated a number of mature trees this year. This dress symbolises the day when the vine eventually reaches up to strangle the sky and the battle that leaves the vine defeated bar a single solitary stem.

Paris March 2011
Paris was very different for me this time because my collection was with Eastern Block, who are a sales agency and do not require the designers to be present. That said though, the deal with them was done very late and they had not seen the collection in the flesh so I decided to go over for a couple of days. It was very strange not having to man a stand and I spent my time walking from my base on the Boulevard Montmartre to the Eastern Block showroom on the Rue Quincampoix whilst taking the opportunity to visit some other showrooms such as Rendez Vous Femme and On|Off.
Although it was good to catch up with a few friends, it dawned on me that as designers, we come to Paris twice a year without actually seeing anything other than the showrooms and the odd restaurant and bar. Thus I found myself at 8am on my final day up at the Sacre Coeur looking over the majesty that is Paris. It is so easy to take this city for granted but to have the time to reconnect is a thing of beauty.

Layers Presents - Yan To Organic Creation
We started off with a dress base, 3 boxes of elastic and just went with it. I'm really happy with the results and you will be seeing a lot more of this treatment next season.
