Hellooo!!!
Just a quick one to share some photos from a recent event I was involved in earlier this month!
I was super happy to be invited by the team at NE1's Fashion Futures to participate in their catwalk show hosted at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art back in my hometown of Newcastle in the UK.
I first showcased my work with them 2 years ago during Newcastle Fashion Week and was mega pleased to get back in the mix again this year.
Earlier this month they presented NE1's Fashion Futures: Fashion Front Row catwalk show at the Baltic and I showed 5 looks from various projects.
The event itself was part of a 2 day programme hosted by NE1's Fashion Futures and included fashion talks from industry professionals including Henry Holland and British Vogue's Alexandra Shulman. The event showcased the work of North East designers and up
and coming graduate talent.
Such an honor to be invited to be part of such a wonderful
event back in my hometown!!
I shall leave you with a few images courtesy of NE1's Fashion Futures.
I have just returned to Seoul following a visit back to Europe so once the jet lag and tireness had subsided I shall update on the joys of my time back on home turf and a burek infused Balkan jaunt!!!
Love,

Oooeeee 안녕하세요 that's HELLO in Korean!!!( Annyeong haseyo!!!)
Now I've started my Korean classes I'm trying to whip out the lingo at every opportunity!!!
So just a quick one...as you know I've been recently involved with Malaysian fashion store LLL+ which is an international creative venture by KL based boutique LAH'LAH'LAND. LLL+ is a guerrilla concept store that brings together brands and design talent from all over the world including the UK, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Ukraine and Hong Kong.
The store inhabits a 2200sq ft space located in Sungai Wang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Bintang district with the focus of introducing independent designers to the Malaysian fashion scene.
It's been awesome working with these guys as they are doing some awesome projects that support and promote indie artists and designers so it's really fun to be involved! I have a collection of garments currently in LLL+ including some exclusive pieces designed especially for the space! At the weekend the LAH'LAH'LAND crew hosted the official launch party with sponsors, Tony & Guy and Heineken, and as part of the launch, presented an opening runway show... So some of my pieces were included in the show and you can see above a photo by Streething featuring my 'Puffycakes' jacket! Love the way it was styled!!!!!!!!! The show looked awesome and I'm really excited to be involved in the LLL+ venture! There's still some juicy pieces available to be snapped up if you are in KL~!!!
As I said, just a quick'un....rice cakes are calling~
Love from Tropical Seoul!!!

Ooooh Hiya!!!
So recently I have been working on some new digital artwork to accompany my 'Tales from Blue Truck Island' project that I produced during my artist residency in Korea earlier this year. As you know the project involved a long term stay in a little, yellow bungalow on a remote and incredibly isolated, rural island called Baengyneong which sits in a somewhat precarious location in the middle of the Yellow Sea.... During my time there I was focused on conducting a lot of field research and seeking of influence from the special people, situations and experiences that I had through living as part of the Baengnyeongdo community... photography and illustration were a part of my daily journaling and research projects and as a result I have since been developing a piece of digital artwork that sits alongside the series of work that I developed in Korea. It features all sorts of elements taken from the themes and topics that I was exploring throughout my project... you can see the noisy roosters outside of the studio that cock-a-doodle-doed 24 hours a day... the corncobs that the Grandma in my favourite little, village grocery store used to give me and of course the Spring cherry blossoms in my neighbour's garden that I waited in anticipation for, for many chilly weeks and finally bloomed in my last few days on the island!!!
A few snaps from my island life days of beans on toast, giant spider dodging, starfish hunting and pebble beach, countryside adventures...
....The piece is titled 'Blue Truckers' and as you can see the print features on some brand new, limited edition T-shirts that are now available on my online shop!!! Yayyyy!! It's a one size fits all scenario~ high colour, full digital print on super soft cotton, a juicy over-sized piece and the garment is both printed and made in the UK!!!
Also the online shop has had a bit of a revamp in time for some tinsel covered Christmas shopping~ bit of a switch up with a few items too and it's now got a whole new look and plenty of rainbow colours going on!!!! It's also more easy to navigate for smartphone and ipad users meaning it's super simple to place an order with your device woooooo!!!
So that's all for now~
Be sure to trot through cyberspace to check out the new 'Blue Truckers' piece!!!
Love and Sparkles,
Emma
