Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

As a designer and illustrator I use my career to fuse fashion, sustainability and art. I have experience in both couture and ready to wear and wish to continue exploring both with a view to creating an ecological creative business. I am developing my illustration to be an integral part of the brand. Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

My Interests

DRAWING! i love drawing ! its the best thing ever ..... pen/pencil/implementthatmakesmark and paper/wall/shoe/skin/surfacethatallowspentodrawonit = happinessMy friends are the most interesting and varied bunch of people and they facinate me.The Environment, Fair Trade and fashion, the link between these three things, the faster fashion cycle and making the fashion industry more sustainable and humane. A greener textile industry. Re-cycling, re-inventing methods of design and consumption. Permaculture - This interests me a lot as a philosophy but I would like anyone who knows anything to tell me more about how...Technology and the body............ the increasing integration of......... the future ...... pushing new boundries of design and technology in design ........cats - when im really old i want to have lots of cats and multi coloured dreads and be rather eccentric. i love them.Links:D http://www.myspace.com/gozno http://www.electrobel.beCool John Cage video go to http://www.ubu.com/film/cage.html

I'd like to meet:

Fashion designers, Mad scientists, Performers,people practising "design interaction",Ecologists, Magazine Editors/Contributers, Photographers, Models, Make up Artists, Hair Stylists, Musicians, Graphic Designers, Film Makers and anyone with an interest in creativity and life in all its various forms.

Music:

Venetian Snares, you are my god.... just in case you ever read this ... My friends: GOZNO, Despoilah, Scarlet Soho, The Tall one behind, Nicolas (Volodia),Doubleclick. a lot of the music on www.electrobel.be is great fun, especially the breakcore. I also love... LA RUE KETANOU, zebda, polish rap, M.I.A, The magnetic fields, JACK DRAG, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Goldie, photek, Fabio, Knife hand chop, Verdi, Bach, ...... you see my problem is i like all music, even ....... justin....... yes that justin.........anything as long as its actually good. some people have it many don't.

Movies:

To hell with this previous statement on film.....Pedro Almodovar: Talk to her and All about my mother are my definitive two best films of all .... blah blah blah ITS ALL ABOUT THE SIMPSONS MOVIE...OK ! ITS GREAT! GO AND SEE IT SPIDER PIG SPIDER PIG......... YEAH

Television:

I have a great dislike of television, I much prefer BBC Radio 4 , the archers and a cup of tea... nice. Resonance Fm and kids making pirate radio in their bedrooms.... www.alluc.org this website is great. watch your favourite cartoons and stuff but don't have to watch commercials. YEY! Southpark, family guy, simpsons... the holy trinity of moving things that you watch. (with sound)

Books:

Massive Change by Bruce Mau... if you ever design anything or plan to in future read this book its inspiring. To be honest I'm more of a magazine reader ... purple journal and purple fashion. I've recently discovered 032c lovely publication with everything from essays on current cultural theory and critique to wierd fashion spreads.

Heroes:

Gaia - the living organism that is the Earth. Its simply incredible this planet. James Lovelock aka mr. gaia hypothesis read his books they'll change your vision of the planet you live on. Yes! Global warming is real and it is now about us adapting to it pronto. Cutting carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 is NOT GOING TO DO VERY MUCH! its all about being in the moment, here and now is the time. There are many simple things we can all do to lower our carbon footprints. turning off lightswitches, buying energy efficent light bulbs.... taking showers.... buying organic and/or local and i must say clothing wise there is some fabulous 2nd hand clothes out there. If you're in London check out the salvation army in oxford circus just off hanover square and the red cross shop off the brompton road near south kensington. Brilliant vintage and the money goes towards a good cause! You can also find out your carbon footprint ... just google what's my carbon footprint? ........ no really, do. by the way remember guys "you can't do business on a dead planet"
