Cobwebs.

I learnt a little while ago that any blog or website that hasn’t been updated for 6 months is referred to as ‘cobwebbed’. And I’m guilty of it (along with the grammatical crime of starting a sentence with ‘and’). I have cunningly waited a whole year to start posting again in an attempt to make the dates look seamless!

This big book arrived a few weeks ago at our house. It currently resides on the dining table; coffee table it certainly isn’t in both size and content.

Inbetween the demands of work, small children and Danish dramas on BBC4, I’ve finally managed to work through the whole thing. It is an incredible document of a quite incredible designer. Very inspirational (I’ll be bold and say expect some Girard influenced work sometime soon), but slightly overwhelming - he’s just far too prolific to such a ridiculously high standard.

There are pages and pages on the meticulously neat, beautiful and organised Girard studio. Hmmmm…definitely something for me to aspire to there.
