THROWBACK IS-IT-THURSDAY?
Hello. It’s been a while, I know. Dog dramas and heatwaves causing quiet panics but it’s time I checked in. I’ve been a bit reflective lately, thinking about what to make next, and looking back at the same time. I realised there’s been a lot, over the years, and many of you will only know the recent things I’ve done. Over the next few days I will re-introduce you to some of my past designs and ask for your thoughts on whether they need to make a comeback. Or not. Be honest, I can take it.

Before that, time for a little context. I made this board, of actual paper photos, a few months ago. It lives in the shop window at Butcher’s Row but I haven’t ever explained it. It shows images from the early part of my working life, from the late 1980s to early 2000s. It makes me feel old but also makes me smile, as I see how lucky I have been to do such fun, exciting things through my life.

If you zoom in you might spot a couple of photos of me (there are at least 2), alongside catwalk images of my degree collection from what was then Manchester Polytechnic. (That will make a return in tomorrow’s post).

Then there are photos of my stall at Camden Lock in the early 1990s. When it was small, undeveloped and incredibly exciting to be part of. I was under the willow tree, by the canal. It was bloody hard work but very very cool. I don’t know how I got up in the mornings after a night out at the Underworld (Thankyou, Andy Allen) but the energy of youth and helpful friends played a big part. You might spot my pixie hats there and an early version of my berets, that’s where they made their debuts.

And there are lots of colourful images of the kids’ knits I made during my years as a partner at Sasti kids’ shop in Portobello Road. What a great time to be based in that part of London, mid to late 1990s into early 2000s. London was hip and happening, we did improbable, crazy things and survived to tell the tale. Which I might do, if you give me enough wine… 😉

Hoping this kicks off nostalgia in those of you who knew me then, and gives a bit of background for those who didn’t. I’ll fill in the rest another time. Pop bac
