Indeed.
Lil Fee (Drummer) of The Whip- a new up-and-coming electro band can be vaguely seen sporting one of our chunky bobble necklaces in Black (which is probably appropriate, hence the name of the single)

Our first ever feature in a major fashion shoot!
The Paint Issue, a unique charity edition, produced in collaboration with some of London’s most cutting-edge designers (including us)is Guy Hipwell's new mission, in which he persuaded some of London’s most forward thinking designers (including us) to donate a toile of one of their garments, which each designer painted their self, to then be auctioned for charity. All the items are for sale by auction style bid on ebay, with the objective to raise as much money for charity as possible.

As part of The Future Laboratory's Spring/Summer 2007 Calliste and I on behalf of our knitwear label 'made with hands' have been chosen to give a trend briefing/presentation on the Wednesday 28th March (aaaah 2 days time!!!!) at The London College of Fashion.
The Future Laboratory are a cool team of fashion forecasters who deliver the key driving consumer and design trends that we see are important for the forthcoming year. We have commissioned specialist research upon each of the trends and its our chance to deliver the findings. We cover trend areas of social and political, technology, design and emerging consumer typologies.
The briefing will be attended by individuals from a global network of designers, marketers, press, PR consultants, trends researchers, retailers, innovators, brand managers and other like minded people with an inquisitive nature to know about the future. Unfortunately this briefing is only open exclusively to people in the fashion industry. But we'll let you know how it goes...
twinsxx P.s. Thank you Neil B and the rest of The Future Laboratory team.
