Spotted Blogged and Featured by Stylist Simone Sylvester!

A stylist I met at New Designers, Simone Sylvester, has featured me in a recent blog of hers.

http://simstarstyling.blogspot.com/2011/07/designer-graduate-exhibition-new-talent.html

I quote:

"A truely interesting contemporary designer, who featured really innovative pieces in her work, such as hair grips wrapped around feathers, leather detailing and chunky knitted jewellery. Loved the tribal vibe she had going on and the visual merchandinsing of the pieces were excellent as they really stood out from the rest. Another designer who I'll be using in the future......result!"

Looking forward to a future shoot where my work will fit the concept! Watch this space!
