A TIMELESS CLASSIC

I often find inspiration for my designs by looking at fashion and the reasons why people wear what they do. I came across an article about Chanel's timeless classic - the black jacket. The idea that one single style can be used over and over again by modifying it and adapting it, depending on trends at that particular time, closely relates to interior design and is often a useful idea to utilise. 

Chanel is one of my favourite fashion designers and Karl Lagerfeld has put together the collection of poster sized-photos for a small gallery show in Soho, NYC which ran from 8th-15th June 2012.

You can explore the exhibition interactively online here.

NEW YORK CITY

I've just got back from an amazing trip to NYC! My first ever visit to America and it was such a fantastic experience. The atmosphere of the city was so lively and animated. I visited some really cool places and saw some great retail stores with totally unique interiors. Life is very different there to here in England. There is so much to explore and the 5 days I had just wasn't long enough but I managed to cram in as much as possible. So, I've attached some of my favourite photos I took when I was there.
