Hey Guys!

Welcome:

It’s 7.00pm on Friday 04-06-2010 and I am sitting on the train to York, embarking on an impromptu weekend of fashion research. My amazingly lovely girlfriend; Hannah surprised me this week with two tickets to see an ongoing exhibition at the Gallery of Costume in Manchester. So I Thought I would kill some time and post another newsletter. The exhibition Sounds pretty cool, so hopefully I will not only film the whole thing but find some great source imagery also. See below for ArtsHub’s online article about the event/ gallery.

Preview of Manchester’s Gallery of Costume | ArtsHub Article | Wednesday, March 10, 2010 |

A first glimpse of the refreshed collection including rare 17th century pieces, a Givenchy dress made for Audrey Hepburn and the principal exhibition, Suffragettes to Supermodels: 100 years of fashion (1910 – 2010), which features designers such as Alexander McQueen, Zandra Rhodes and Vivienne Westwood.

Blog updates:

This month work has been pretty slow due to unmentionable reasons, but just so you know everything has turned out great! Despite the distractions I have managed to start designing the couture side of the collection. They are somewhat basic designs at the moment, but I hope to be adding more detail next week. Also I have made a bit of headway on the print development side of things. For all the detailed info and links to these videos please see below.

I have dedicated the next two weeks to design…. 24/7 design! I need to start nailing this collection since time is literally slipping by.

Coming up:

A hole load of design work, I will need to pump out at least 300 designs in order to pick out the show stoppers, so I guess that will be an episode in itself, not to mention more wall overviews.

Many thanks:

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that has e-mailed me over the past couple of weeks, with comments of encouragement and appreciation… This project proves really tough after a full day at the office and on many occasions i have felt like what is the F***ing point, and your e-mails have put a smile on my face and make it all worth while…

I know this project doesn’t seem like a huge amount of work when you watch 3-4 minute videos but there is so much prep involved in it. SO….. THANK YOU, YOUR ALL LEGENDS!

All the best…

Ralph Pink
