The best Shop window in the history of the world



I have no idea what the shop sells (it was closed) or what on earth is going on here. All I know is it is a lot of cats, in colour order, all facing towards the virgin mary. Inspired.

paper bags




A very cute and thrifty idea for a window.

Anthropologie windows




Some seriously gorgeous windows at Anthropologie. As always.

Fred Perry




The first project I did for Studio XAG has gone in store! We spent all week cleaning up old bikes and making them into these rather fetching sculptures for Fred Perry's new range of vintage looking cycling tops. Cool eh? I think it looks awesome, but if I never have to clean another bike chain again I will be very happy indeed.

Selfridges Spring windows





I am probably not allowed to say this, seeing as I worked on the Harvey Nichols Spring windows, but I am totally in love with Selfridges' Spring windows. The word that comes to mind is SICK> black vinyl, real wood, hyper real flower back drops and little white mushrooms, what's not to love? Congrats to the very talented Mr James Barnett, my old chum who works the Selfridges windows.

Studio XAG (teepees)





SO I am going to be at Studio XAG hopefully for a few weeks. I am super excited about this because I absolutely love their work! I have been secretly admiring their work for ages all over Carnaby street, but only recently managed to track down who was behind it all. So I've been a busy bee, making things out of old bikes, making tee pees (see above, for Diesel) and trying my hand at paper sculpture and having a great time. I will post more work soon, when the projects go live.

Harvey nichols casting flowers



Been having a great time at Harvey Nichols casting real flowers for their spring windows, amongst other things. All I will say is that they're big on flowers. I will post photos soon.

Harvey Nichols

I have got a job making the shop windows for Harvey Nichols! It's so much fun and a lot more creative and relaxed than some other jobs I could mention. We're working on the spring windows at the moment. I can't post any photos just yet but needless to say there's a lot of flowers being cast in resin and plaster, which I am thoroughly enjoying. I'm also helping to make the head pieces for the mannequins which is a little daunting but exciting. I will post some images when I can.

Paper flowers



I've just finished working at Millington on a job for John Lewis. It was mental. I spent half my time upholstering chairs and sofa with astro turf (bonkers, I know. And not easy on the hands). The other half of my time was taken up with making these mad balls of flowers. I think in total we had something like 500,000 paper flowers (that had to be made out of 3 pieces of paper) and we made a couple of hundred plastic balls covered in them. Each one of the large ones was taking about four hours to cover. We had a proper little factory going. I put a photo in with the lovely Amy in it for scale, so you can see how massive they are. So, coming to a John Lewis near you is 3 weeks of our blood sweat and tears. Enjoy.
