I was fortunate enough to be commissioned by River Island to make a series of pieces for them after winning their "Wild Card Prize" in collaboration with London College of Fashion.
The whole ordeal of winning and being given a certificate and so on was utterly mortifying, but this chap's moustache certainly lessened the pain:
These pieces are what they commissioned me to make, and each scene was made from intricately cut out photocopies of River Island's textiles. They were initially intended to be used in the new River Island store in Westfield Stratford City, but I think instead they have been hung somewhere in River Island's head office building in West London. Either way I think it's pretty cool.
great post and a great blog you have got!
