Wish List: Coordinates

I had been hoping this blazer short coordinate set was going to arrive at Yumi before I left - no such luck. I love that being a coordinate pairing, the pieces are right on trend, yet they also have quite a classic, timeless feel with the subtle bird print. The blazer short combo would work as well for the office with a shirt, tights and brouges, as they would for a casual day outfit with a plain tee and converse, and also for night out over a white cami and tonnes of gold jewellery! Fingers crossed I can find these at a decent price on eBay or that my mum will take the hints I've been dropping - now that I no longer have the pleasure of 60% staff discount at Yumi!

Outfit
Blazer: Yumi £55, Shorts: Yumi £30, Shirt: Topshop £29

Emma Scott

Being a print student, it wasn't often that I got to see the work of other textile specialisms, so when people started to display their final degree show projects it gave me a chance to take a look around at what embroidered textiles, weave and knit specialisms entailed. I came across Emma's embroidery work and was immediately attracted to her project's simple yet distinct display, trend considerations and exciting materiality choices.

The designer's work has a strong personal style, and takes a comtemporary, geometric slant on traditional embroidery. The ideas for Emma's final collection of handmade beads developed after initally experimenting with ice cubes and capsules, and continued to progress in terms of composition and aesthetic after researching modern architecture. Carefully resolving the facet inspired beads, Emma's final main choice matter of hand rendered resin has been embedded and coated with varying metallic and matte materials that give a subtle luxury feel, that really intice you to look closer. Below are a few of the beautiful final beads from Emma's collection.
