Dion Lee

It's coming to that time when we start planning the AW lookbook for later on in the year and it's going to be a special one because I am enlisting the help of two students from Manchester School of Art where I teach. Jessica Beardmore and Hollie Davies are both getting stuck in to the planning of this years look.

Here is a bit of inspo from Dion Lee's Transit.

I'll be documenting the progress throughout the next 8 weeks right here on the blog. 

Be sure to check out SS13 which has just landed at the e-boutique and the etsy store

Spring Summer Production

A few snaps of the SS13 print Warrego which will be available as a mini clutch bag. A new digital print size we are introducing this season. The prints included in this range are inspired by our recent trip to Australia. See the adventure here and here. 

Keep an eye on www.riannaphillips.com and @RiannaPhillips, the collection will be arriving very soon!

Sophie

So as you will all know London Fashion Week has just drawn to a close. A few of our bags were seen swanning around Somerset House. We are loving these pics by blogger Sophie of La Fashion Folie 

with her Varro portfolio clutch bag (photographed by Glass of Fashion).

The small bits of pink in the floral print go perfectly with her pink Topshop coat.

Manchester School of Art - The Refurb

A bit about me - Alongside running my little digital print industry I am a tutor at Manchester School of Art. It's a job I really enjoy and since the university underwent a massive multi million pound refurb the building is a delight to work in. I graduated a few years ago and i'm sure all of my fellow graduates would have loved if the work spaces were like this whilst we were there. Moaning aside, I thought it would be interesting to document my time with the students and (with their permission) let outsiders see into their design processes. 

So i'll kick off with Hollie Davies, follow her on Twitter here @HollieDavies20
