When one of your hobbies is collecting photographs of workwear, life doesn't get much easier than an Abseiler passing by your kitchen window as you are having your morning coffee.

ABOUT
I am a costume designer. Whilst at work I see many things - fascinating and inspiring; the benefits of my profession.
An additional interest in workwear, the pleasure of being able to guess at a person's occupation or background by their dress. Recreating this, realistically or otherwise but always believably is, after all, the job.
Details not destined to make the cut.
Tools of the trade, research, materials.
Things out of context.
Things I collect and may use someday.
Fabrics, prints, articles of clothing.
Trimmings, equipment, workplaces.
