AW 12 inspirations

Getting ready to upload the new collection online, and also deliver to the shops, in the meantime feast your eyes on some of the inspiration for this collection...

I went to Jamaica for the afternoon

Sometimes its so nice to get away from the studio, specially on a sunday afternoon, when the weather is good. Don't take me wrong, I love doing what we do, but sometimes, a wee break is needed to gather your thoughts, we went down to Brixton for the 50 years independents street party, it was the night the usain bolt won his first medal, and the atmosphere was electric, we could hardly move amongst the crowds, and eventually the police broke of the party:( but boy, the where some beautiful people out there, that where just rockin that Jamaican colors look!!

process

Another week on instagram has passed..well the week was actually 3 days, with the diamond jubilee celebrations taking over the whole weekend! but as we are in the midst of production for AW 12 and sampling for SS 13, we couldn't drop everything and join the wet crowds on the river, we just picked up what we could on the iPad, and the streets of dalston, it was pretty cool, because the seemed to be nobody about around the studio, so we pretty much had the whole of ridley road at our disposal, we cranked up the volume in the studio and celebrated the diamond jubilee RIYKA style:)

Summer has landed

Its taken a good while for it to properly feel like summer, but last week we had a delicious taste of it!! me and vedran spent every opportunity we had to enjoy the park life, suddenly I could see all my Favorite colors everywhere, in the meantime it has become cold and rainy again:( but these images remind me of how beautiful it can get here xx all photos credited to intsagram @riyka82
