Margiela on a budget. Sewing the Sink the Pink Summer Ball 2016 Part 2
I think I ended up refering to this as “Conceptual Muppet Show”. I wasn’t entirely sold when Glyn sent me the original reference but when am I ever going to turn him down? Especially when it’s this level of batshit. … Continue reading

Sewing the Kung Fu Panda costumes. Lord Shen. Part 2 of 3.
This is a costume for Kung Fu Panda’s Lord Shen, albino peacock, evil genius and pretty swish in the sartorial stakes. In fact, it’s kind of obligatory for all evil characters to look impeccable (struggling to resist impeckable pun there). Last … Continue reading
