I read; I travel; I become

Derek Walcott



 Hi, I'm back! Haha, I bet you didn't even know I was gone! 
I've spent the past 10/11 days in South Asia. Mad I know! It was all rather last minute, and wasn't meant to be a holiday. Hence, the lack of very interesting or good quality pictures. I was on the road constantly, and nearly all these pictures were taken while I was in the car, stopped at traffic lights! 
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and an even better New Year! 
I'm gutted I missed the sales! Are there any still good bargains to be found do you think?

My body is a cage

Arcade Fire



Body-space; creating a garment which fits your body and can morph into a chosen site.
My first project studying architecture.
You may wonder how this is relevant to architecture, but architecture isn't just about designing buildings. I learnt a lot from this first project on how a person interacts with materials and spaces. 
The brief restricted us to; only picking a site from Manchester quirky Northern Quarter, two materials from a list of four, and one joining material throughout. The site I chose consisted of a detailed terracotta stoned archway, a large green painted door in the centre and mirrored panels filling the gaps between. Linking these features and current trends such as structured shoulders I produced this origami garment, which Ambreen photographed into the site beautifully.

Come wander with me

Emilie Satt


This is a collection of photographs taken in Berlin. I visited a few sites including the Jewish museum and the Hamburger Bahnhoff museum for contemporary art. As you can probably tell, i payed more attention on taking art-y/architectural pictures, rather than fashion-y ones, but i hope you enjoy them just as much. 
I'm sorry for the disorganisation and clump of random photographs, things were really busy.
