The Collaboration between Suzy and Caroline's
Leeds Fashion Works - an intitiative aimed at linking textiles, retail, fashion, education and training opportunities in the Leeds City Region.
&
Harvey Nichols - High End Luxury Department Store.
With the aim of raising media and consumer awareness of the heritage of the cloth industry both past and present.

Mr B Head of Display looking wonderful in his lovely grey jacket and having just received an award for Harvey Nichols for the outstanding work he and his wonderfully talented display team Lou, Rich & Cat have created. Well Done !!!

The idea was to create a awareness through creative display and I don't know how they managed to do all the work in the short time they had but god it was beautiful.
 I have only blogged a couple of shots but the exhibition is on for a couple of months and is definatley worth checking out.

Lyrics to The Bones Of You :


So I'm there

Charging around with a juggernaut brow

Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make

Cramming commitments like cats in a sack

Telephone burn and a purposeful gait



When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch

Of a song that I know

And the world moves in slow-mo

Straight to my head

like the first cigarette of the day



And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



Do I have

time? A man of my calibre

Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager

No.

And I dealt with this years ago

I took a hammer to every memento

But image on image like beads on a rosary

pulled through my head as the music takes hold

and the sickener hits; I can work till I break

but I love the bones of you

That, I will never escape



And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



And I can't move my arm

Through the fear that you will wake

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

I love Servone Gaxotte's pendants. The collection is based on a doll called Rose that invaded the designers dreams a few years ago.
