Chick on a creative mission
"I try to do something creative everyday to get out of my comfort zone and strive to create footwear which is both aesthetically beautiful and thought provoking whilst encouraging the viewer to want to touch and experience first hand the way the foot appreciates the used material as well as the way the foot corresponds with the containment of the lines of the design and function it fulfills".[And breathe! the answer one gets when I'm on a roll and someone asks me what I'm currently up to]
I want, I want, I WANT!

The 'Sketchbook' Collection of hand printed wallpapers and fabrics, which include original, hand drawn designs from Sir Cecil Beaton.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary"Beaton is best known for his fashion photographs and society portraits. He worked as a staff photographer for Vanity Fair and Vogue in addition to photographing celebrities in Hollywood.

His stage designs were unparalleled for Hollywood productions such as 'Gigi' (1958) and 'My Fair Lady' (1964), for which he also won Best Costume Design Oscars.
