WHEN YOU FINALLY MEET YOUR HERO ...  WORK EXPERENCE AT ADIDAS HEAD OFFICE Well after about 3 year of pestering I was finally given the go ahead for some work experience at the Adidas head office. Upon arrival I was given a multitude of forms to sign........one being a confidentiality agreement (very MI5). I was told that this was due to the fact I would be working with the spring/summer 2018 collections!!!!! EEK how exciting.  Unfortunately this also meant that I wasn't allowed to take any photos apart from in the communal areas. Now this is a company I can work for......they have such a laid back approach and think nothing if you get up from your desk to pop to one of there two colossal on site gyms for the odd hour to blow of some steam. Adidas belive in keeping there staff as healthy as possible and are happy to help you in your quest for fitness and general wellbeing. And it WORKS....... I didn't meet one person who wasn't happy to wor...

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT

As you all know I'm in my final year at uni, which means one thing ......Ive finally got free rein to make what ever I want!!!! Ive been gagging to do a sportswear inspired collection and finally I get my wish. The search for quality sportswear fabrics wasn't a easy one, but managed to get my hands on some amazing perforated airtech fabrics in grey and red. Ive layered this up over a high quality scuba fabric and I'm totally in love with the results!! Although working with a stretch fabric that's also perforated hasn't been a easy task ..... I think ive pulled it off (Just hahaha). Take a look at the first of four outfits as part of my collection and feel free to let me know what you think. Thanks  Jo

WORKING AT LONDON FASHION WEEK @ FASHIONS FINEST EVENT FEB 2017 I was lucky enough to be offered some work experience with the awesome Fashions Finest team at there LFW event.  Now anyone who's interested in fashion will know it doesn't get much better than being able to attend such a event! To say I was excited was a understatement, not so excited about having to catch the Doncaster to London train at 5.30AM !!!!! I arrived at the location (De Vere Grand Connaught Room) at 7.30am and WOW what a hotel it was stunning, I couldn't ask for a better "office" for the day. I had been told I'd be working backstage with the stylist Cindy, I quickly located where I needed to be and reported to Cindy ( a lovely, bright and bubbly young women with a quirky style to match ). Cindy gave me a quick brief of how the day SHOULD pan out and there would be two shows ..... 3.30 and 5.30. I was assigned to 2 designers and quickly set to work fitting t...

Came across theses the other day and couldn't resist! If like me you grew up in the 90's , you'll remember Puma releasing the Puma discs in 1994. The laces were replaced with a disc and wires & you simply turned the disc to tighten your sneaker. MAGIC!!! Well it seemed it at the time & they quickly became the trainer to have at school that year. I wasn't one of the fortunate people who owned a pair back then (massive sad face).  However  my brother did so that was almost as good hahaha. Well over 20 years later I own a pair!!! Puma have a ongoing collaboration with Sophia Chang and shes created these wedged  version of the discs. A new spin on a old classic and I've been transported back in time and I'm pleased as punch lol, If you haven't heard of Sophia Chang you should check her out. Designer/Illustrator shes worked with the likes of Nike, NBA, Marc Jacobs, Nixon and Hapers Bazaar to name but a few! Click to see ...
