V&A Ballgowns
On Sunday I realised it was the last day to see the Ballgowns - British Glamour since 1950 exhibition at the V&A so I dashed in just on time to get a ticket. I'm so glad I did. It was incredible.
Photography was not exactly allowed, per se, but I managed to snap these images of my favourite dresses before the security guy had a word..
My all time favourite.. this wacky dress by Cindy Beadman from the late 70's
Evening coat designed designed by Elsa Schiaparelli in collaboration with Jean Cocteau
This Elizabeth and David Emanuel taffeta dress was worn by Joan Collins

Charity Darrrrrling
Thursday night was spent at the Bid For Better charity auction event organised by Urban Times. The aim was to raise money for the Environmental Justice Foundation's cotton initiatives while promoting the idea of sustainability within the fashion industry.
I was there to demonstrate some of the leather work techniques I use on my dresses and jackets and to chat about sustainable business. Over 50 sustainable fashion companies had donated items to the auction and despite coming away empty handed I had an ace night. Here's me at my "booth"!

Tis' the season to make dresses, and I'm going to be making a lot of them over the next few weeks. Here's a silk dress I'm working on at the moment.
