Stay snug this Xmas with Electronic Sheep!

It was the delightfully surreal name that originally caught our eye but Irish knitwear label - Electronic Sheep’s A/W collection of woolly winter warmers certainly managed to maintain our attention. Scarves and hats in unique patterns complete with kitsch tassels and pompoms!

The designers describe the line as ‘gothic-folk’ with patterns inspired by eerie old English horror as well as comic book imagery and the result of these disparate inspirations is a fascinating, whimsical and unique collection.

The use of colour is bold and striking with eye-catching combinations that in theory shouldn’t work but in practice add to the distinctive Electronic Sheep aesthetic.

Made in wonderfully cosy and luxurious lambswool their winter accessories are guaranteed to keep you snug this winter. With most designs coming in at under £40 the designs won’t dent your Xmas fund too much and there’s a collection for men if you’re struggling for gift ideas.

Fashion GPS: Revolutionizing the sample system!

Ever wondered how the countless loans of designer clothes featured within fashion editorials make it back to the designer in one piece? Well, sometimes it never does. With this in mind computer programmer Edwin Mullon has created Fashion GPS - a revolutionary new program specifically with the fashion industry in mind.

Fashion GPS doesn’t miss a trick, it catalogues each sample dished out to various publications and stores sample info, industry contacts, virtual look-books and instant reports. Having already established relationships with over 15 titles, Teen Vogue, POP and V magazine to name a few, the system automatically sends out an email reminding stylists to return whatever thy borrowed ASAP.
So if you’ve ever got lucky in a fashion cupboard then I’m afraid your time is up with the introduction of Fashion GPS.
