Going up up up!

For my 21st birthday my beautiful housemates got me a trip up in a hot air balloon.

It felt like we were floating over a perfect summers evening in Surrey...surreal & fantastic! If only we could always travel by hot air balloon... :o)

Thankyou <3

Tea lights, lanterns, a tim walker 21st...

The most perfect 21st... a candel lit dinner, fantastic band http://www.myspace.com/zellseemusic and lots and lots and lots of friends.

Photoshoot styling

One rainy day this summer I helped my friend Ella with a children's photoshoot. Some of the clothes featured are ones which I have made for past collections. My favourite is Tilly in my black velvet leggings, t-shirt and lilac blazer attempting to use an iPhone.

Knickerbocker Glory

Here are two designs from my Spring/Summer 09 Children's wear collection 'Knickerbocker Glory'

A decadent fantasy

I did this photoshoot designed for Milk magazine http://www.milkmagazine.net/ in my first year of uni, the idea is that it is a little girls decadent fantasy. The set took ages to create and I didn't want to take it down after! Thankyou to my models Tallulah and Daisy (and their mother Sam) and photographer Ella Parkes.

What's this for?

Hi, I'm Anna. Nice to meet you.I am sat in the middle of the British channel next to four elderly white haired gentlemen drinking whisky and tea and talking about whisky and tea.

I've just thought, it's time, it's time I had one of these 'blogs' so here goes...

A little intro - I'm a student (if you hadn't already guessed) and I'd like to be a children's wear designer. I love traveling more than most other things and so this blog will (I hope...) tell you about my travels and my stories and experiences in the world of fashion. One other secret love of mine that not so many people know about... I love old jazz, especially on grey days on the tube, there is nothing that beats having Nina Simone - 'Feeling Good' on full blast in my giant oversized, over priced, baby blue headphones walking past grumpy 'cod' faced people walking/running to work.

A couple of other things, I love clothes, making, wearing, looking at. I'm half Danish, I'm 21 and couldn't look more scandinavian if I tried (I'm considering dying my hair red for a bit) I'd like to move to Paris next year to do an internship, my french is limited, I like to think I am better than I really am so am about to start evening classes.

Oh and I like colour... lots of it... there's never enough colour and music... I have to go now as my internet time is running out and we are approaching the coast! ...bye...be back soon with something more interesting and less all about me! x

Love Tim

I love Tim Walker's photography...a little too much. Here are some pics from his recent exhibition 'I love pictures'
