THE BIG SMOKE!

During the summer I went to London to look at various fabrics shops and came across this little gem. "Cloth House"-I love it! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the fabrics are good quality and fairly priced. I'll have to remember to pop in if I'm about again.
They sell lovely vintage fabrics and buttons....there's just a good vibe about the place! I also went to the Royal College of Art's exhibtitons at the V&A-
Here are some of my personal favourites:


Loved the volume in this and the silhouette...


This was amazing...at first glance you think its a printed knit pattern. Once I've read up it became clear that in fact it is knited but instead of doing this pattern in the typical "3D" way they had kept it flat and obv used the right shade of wool to trick the human eye...very clever indeed!




The luggage was amazing too....really professonal and beautifully made.





I just loved the use of unconventional fabrics....I'm all about the unconventional!



Overall I saw/learnt a lot about fabric stores and interesting deigns while in the big smoke!
