Little more direction!

After having a little struggle with deciding what direction would be best to take my collection, I have finally cracked it!

My new brand named "Head Quarters" is a hybrid of modern street wear and classic gentlemen demure........heard it all before I hear you say? Difference with Head Quarters is that things are not what they seem... sleeves come off, hoods come off, trains come off, pockets here there and everywhere! One garment can be up to as many as you wish and worn how ever you want!

As well as the combination of new and heritage fabrics I will be playing with new imagery/prints on linings, snoods and leggings! (I see men shrieking at the thought of leggings for your macho kind, but trust me it will work ;-)). All very exciting stuff but what's next is limited time and an abundance of work... achievable if I get my head down!

Here are some of my recent sources of inspiration and some very early design ideas... Watch this space for the slicker pages later on!..

Playing with images and Logos


An amazing and quirky designer... He plays with the same hybrid of concepts...
