Don’t Double Dip!

The shoes I have just done for Tretorn were an experiment. I think that I should not have dipped the first pair twice. Once is enough. This is the second pair and I dipped them once. Confused? Anyhow…The detail of the canvas and the eyelets shows much better and I think they are just as waterproof. 

It has been raining here in the UK

Here is a short clip showing how you can rainproof your canvas plimsolls ahead of the British summer. Thank you to Tretorn. 

Tretorn

The lovely and probably very ‘lagom‘ people at Tretorn have sent the studio some shoes to work with. The style is called Nylite and they are a very classic utility plimsoll. So, filming of our first video with active product placement begins. Expect a new video (sorry for the wait) in a short while.

The Dove

I have been having a busy time recently. The plane took its first commercial flight to Copenhagen yesterday. Before that happened some ‘air to air’ shots were taken. Above is the one I like best as it shows off the wing design. Below I am with Prasanna and Simon who are my fellow Great Britons (and now mates!) Below that is us at the BA pop up 2012 event.

Meet Pascal Anson :s

Here the video shot over the past few months by Peace One Day…..they have done a really good job of editing as I sound fairly coherent. Thank you x

 

Portrait by Ben Harries for Matches

Ben Harries works internationally as a fashion photographer shooting editorial and campaigns for many different companies. He took this picture of me in November in Shoreditch, London as part of the Spring Summer 2012 collection for the fashion retailer matches. For the link to his site of beautiful photography click on his name at the start of the post.

TV Crew at the Studio

The team from film company Peace One Day visited me in my studio today. They were a friendly and dedicated crew who worked through the ‘vehicle reversing’ whoops happening in the building site outside. This filming thing DOES get easier the more times it happens. Here’s the photo of me explaining why I was doing drawings of doves.

Brooks Brothers Bow Ties

I really love this collection of Bow Ties by Social Primer for Brooks Brothers, gosh I wish I had this approach to design sometimes where decisions are made on something else other than logic.
