Making of the AW13 Marwood lookbook...

Back in winter 2012 we shot the AW13 Marwood lookbook in Dalston. Having met Scott Trindle (who shot the images) in our shared studios, we got chatting about the concept of the shoot and he was on board. The results in full are on the Marwood website HERE. We thought you might like to see a few snapshots from the day capturing the awesome Scott (as Cocteau), photographer Scott Trindle and stylist Hanna Kelifa. Thanks to Russell Weekes for joint Art Direction and all in all a great team. As expected it was a fun day and the results are beyond what we hoped for. 

Rough (!) notes and inspiration below. Copies from the book of masters who took portraits of Cocteau. We wanted to capture the essence of Cocteau's character, awkwardness and style, as his friends and peers saw him. 

 A very important member of the crew that day...

Artist Statement

The objective in my work is two-fold:

First, my work is visual study and investigation informed by memories and tendencies both cultural and personal, as well as objects and rituals of everyday life, particularly those of my childhood in Korea. Of interest to me are patterns and relationships, ritualistic repetition, theme and variation, intersection of structure and chance, and the interplay between individual and collective.

Second, my work is research into safer, sustainable approach to printmaking that utilizes nontoxic techniques, while preserving core principles and possibilities inherent in printmaking as a medium. With this goal, I employ a collagraph printmaking process of my own that applies simple, modest materials and low-tech methods, and is uniquely specific to my intent and visual language.

Marwood - Menswear for Women

London Fashion Week commences in a matter of weeks. Sep 13 - 17. 

Marwood will be presenting, for the first time, an edited range of the latest 

SS14 collection - mixed in with classic Marwood styles - to create a curated

range of menswear for women. We want to show pieces that are traditionally 

menswear items that women would want. Whether styled with impeccable 

tailoring or an oversized men's shirt, women have been working this look for 

years. So, we wanted to extend the invite and introduce Marwood accessories 

to the women. Sophia Coppola below pretty much sums it up for us... 

Marwood accessories are hand crafted in the UK. The offer will include ties, 

bow ties, scarves, braces, silk hanks worn as scarves and mohair socks. 

To make an appointment to view the new collection or find out more about 

Marwood - menswear for women, then please email us at:

Came across this car parked up whilst its owner was picking blackberries from the hedgerow. He was very happy for some snaps to be taken and it was fun to peek inside at the battered and loved interior. Taped up steering wheel and hand written speed dial. A truly loved motor. 

Photos from New York

The MRKet show was an interesting show to be a part of. The organisers worked so hard and were a pleasure to meet. The team really believe in the Vanguards Gallery which is hosted and created by Michael Macko and couldn't do more to help and assist the new labels in the arena. It was a business minded show with a creative core (Vanguards) and full of top accessories and tailoring labels throughout. Marwood was a little fish in a very big pond!

Some snaps from the Marwood sample sale with Armando Cabral. Thanks to those who turned up and drank prosecco with us in the New York heat wave. Great to share the new SS14 season with you all as well.

The wonderful Edward Hopper - a truly inspiring exhibition. The rest of the work couldn't be photographed but his process, life drawings, sketch book workings as well as the final pieces such as the famous 'Nighthawks' were more incredible, moving and awe inspiring up close. Features from the book will be posted soon.
