London Fashion Week

Unfortunately we sit on the sidelines here in leeds, far away from the LFW influence, but most stores in London were getting in on the act. In celebration of the activities I found a lot of shop fronts were sporting the 'paper cut out' a la Rob Ryan's 'this is for you' book.


There is an interview with the man himself on the magma website



The book is so intricate and detailed, it is hard to get over. He creates every piece from an innitial sketch and then cuts by hand. Major cutting skills! It is also nice to see such mostly decorative work being celebrated as much, now that crafting seems to have become purely ironic.

His book is out now and his website is
equally lovely.

Selfridges was the main culprit sporting the cut out windows, purely in white, it looked very fairytale -esque, but it must've taken a lot of work.
Stil sounds like a great job to me.
