About Me |
|
| Welcome to my network...I am a certified British Fashion Designer and Illustrator, with commercial design and retail experience. My forte is womenwear, but I am also proficient in menswear. I have extensive comprehension and practice with pattern cutting and garment construction, which makes me more than qualified to produce unique and innovative garments - I hope!My personal inspirations are drawn primarily from the fluid, diverse activities displayed by the youth cultures -specifically that of British Youth. This also coincides with my interest in a vast array of musical genres from different eras. However, this doesn't mean I am not inclined to add a touch of feminity and glamour to the proceedings.Watch this space for exciting announcements and additions to the portfolio in the near future.Best wishes,
Lady T.LOVEMYFLASH CODE /LOVEMYFLASH CODE |

My Interests |
|
| Well, stating the obvious: I love fashion, but from an edgy perspective - Street, Urban, Utilitarian as well as the feminine, glamorous and tailored (sometimes with a vintage twist). I don't suppose it would surprise many that I love labels like Allsaints, Ashish, Bench, Firetrap and Religion; however, it will come as a surprise to many that I ABSOLUTELY love - and would love to afford - Alexander McQueen, Amanda Wakely, Chloe, Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, vintage Chanel and vintage Dior...any offers?I am also an avid fan of Jane Austen and a keen member of the National Trust; mock at your peril! | |
I'd like to meet:John Robert Parker Ravenscroft - a.k.a. John Peel (1939 - 2004): Without snobbery or arrogance he would cast his respected opinion over a variety of musical genres; for which I salute him and wish his legacy to be remembered (John Peel day 12th October 2008).However, there are four independent, unique and ambitious creative ladies I would love to work with in the future: Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe, Lily Allen and Siobhan Donaghy. { View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics |

Television:I don't watch a great deal of television, but when I do get time, I profess to watching sheer quality:Family Guy Simpsons The Mighty Boosh CSI - all three! Bones NCIS Law and Order Ugly Betty Sex and the City - now all repeats Jools Holland Hollyoaks (Occasionally) Top Gear |
