Leading up to my S|S 12 show at The Hospital Club, Elspeth, Riccado, Bianca and I have been collaborating across our own specialist disciplines. (wo)man + machine brings together expertise in innovative knitwear design, graphic design, choreography and music thanks to my fellow CiR’s.

On Monday, Elspeth and I had the opportunity to record sound from Medical Imaging equipment at The London Independent Hospital – Elspeth will then use these recordings in her composition of the musical score for the show.

Included in our recordings were the Doppler Ultrasound, which is typically used for vascular imaging, and also CT and Dexa Scan Machines. We were able to create and capture some incredible electronic and anatomical sounds that perfectly capture my design ethos, ‘Science inspired Design’.

Here are a couple of shots of the action:

Special thanks go to Sa Memon, Superintendent Radiographer, The London Independent Hospital and to Jamie Wagstaff for the pictures.

Casting for dancers continues and London Fashion Week is fast approaching!

The past week has taken Brooke to Italy to develop the S|S 12 collection, and with each little preview she sends us it get more exciting: think sparkle, nylon filaments with fine lurex coatings and plenty of summer shades. Add to this some innovative brain maps courtesy of the Allen Institute of Brain Science and S|S 12 promises to be the epitome of ‘Science inspired Design’

Back here in London we are busy getting ready for London Fashion Week, where Brooke is planning not only her show with Riccardo Buscarini and other CiRs at The Hospital Club, but also a soon to be revealed presentation at Somerset House. Click here to read a little more about her innovative label  and await the next instalment of wo(man) and the machine.
