I had a lovely treat in the post this morning - the beautifully packaged book Fashion Market II. I met lovely Yiying through a link swap earlier last year and a few months later she popped round for tea and biscuits and interviewed me for her 2nd book. She took oodles of photos around my home and work room and we giggled our way through LLROK's history, inspirations and ambitions for the future. The book also covers interviews with 12 other artists and designers whose labels began at a fashion market, mostly Spitalfields and UP market in Brick Lane's Truman Brewery.
Interviews include - Specific Flavour, 20th Century Icons, Spoon, Lights Out, As Twee As It Can Be, Misc., K45, Whim Wham, Snuglo, Netty and Matty and The Magnificent Chatwin Brothers.
With the demise of the historical Spitalfields market due to the gross shopping complex - this book reminds us how vital fashion markets are in supporting young creativity and the spirit of the independent. I feel a spot of protesting coming on!
Take a peek in my press page to download and read the LLROK interview and click HERE to buy your very own copy.
