Drakes of London have a great post in Spitalfields Life this week, I really like these Fairisle sleeveless pullovers, reproduced from traditional designs and patterned both front and back, they are ideal for period jobs and, I reckon, a great price at £110 each.
I am a costume designer. Whilst at work I see many things - fascinating and inspiring; the benefits of my profession.
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.
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.
