was more my show than it will be next year when I actually graduate! I had 6 people's work featured in total (there's only 5 here) as well as all my work for the Fashion Design and Technology students a few weeks previous and of course the entire yeargroup of the Fashion course's catalogue... So all in all it was a fun night and very satisfying to see my work scattered around all the different departments.

Above is Sarah Burton's work which won a very commendable £20,000 at Graduate Fashion Week.

Laura Grunbaum - Textiles design for Fashion

Mariel Osborn - Embroidery. This was shot 3 times for Mariel - once as playtime, a second time as a design for the degree show poster (it is being used for our Dean's leaving poster instead.) and a third to please her tutor Nigel...

Lora Avedian - Embroidery.

And last but not least Sera Jones, also on the Embroidery course. Apologies for the shocking pictures here - camera phone!

I modeled some of the stunning garments designed by Rosie Keating for my friend Sarah Patel; we had a limited amount of time in the small and not very-equipped studio but I had fun playing and I think Sarah did too... It must've gone well because she's about to start a new job working for a photographer in London so well done to her!
And last but not least I have just, after months of shooting to pay the rent, organized a shoot for ME! So, on Monday i'll be back to doing what I love... I've been thinking recently about the things I really want in life - for example if I had a few years to live or something (which may be the case, we never know!) what would I want to do with my time. The answer was very simple and it has made me realize just how much I live my job and photography. Once in a while (or most days really) I might have to sell my soul and do something I really don't want to do in order to pay the rent, but that gives me the means to continue to play and have time to follow my ideas.
