The Knowledge!

So..after many moons a new blog post! Well since the last post there have been lots of new and exciting clients and a house move so lots of fun! Lam of London is now settled by the seaside in the lovely town of Broadstairs and is enjoying the fact that clients are happy that I've made the move and are even venturing down this way for a weekend by the sea. What better way to do a Friday business meeting than over a 99 and a sea view!

Well I digress, this post is a quick update and also news of a new venture, which I am very excited about. I've always enjoyed helping junior designers or interns get to know their way around

designing, whether it's an insight into the supply chain or some lessons in Illustrator. This has prompted me to offer some workshops to students thinking of following a career path into fashion and more specifically footwear. It's great to learn and train at college but you can't beat learning how things work in the day to day life of an actual fashion or footwear role. This is the kind of information that I'm hoping to impart.

The workshops are short and punchy and (fingers crossed) exciting. All those that know me or have worked with me will know I'm passionate about design, not precious, but passionate. Always willing to learn and grow and this is a key skill if you want to succeed.

So feel free to take a gander at the new website with the additional pages about the workshops (notice all those locals in the Kent Area that there is the option of a free half hour taster workshop- available to schools and colleges).

Also in case you haven't seen the facebook page, Jemima Vine is going from strength to strength thanks
to the slipper I designed for the brand. Pippa's sporting a pair as seen in the Daily Mail.
