Marwood A/W 12 Collection in PARISSSS

Reporting from our Paris showroom here are some photos of our set-up...

This time we are based downstairs from b Store alongside the amazing Berthold and Baartmans and Siegel. The collection has so far been received well as has the lookbook, shot by Eddie Jacob. We also have a new friend... Mr Marwood Hare who is keeping a close eye on the lace bow ties. Mr Hare is the creation of Alice Mary Lynch and we feel very lucky to have him join the team! Alice has some amazing projects happening this year so definitely keep up with her work here.

Marwood A/W 12 Collection Inspiration

Each season there is an image that sticks around and becomes a reminder of what we wanted to achieve by the end of the season. A couple of years ago I photocopied some portraits from the book 'Asakusa Portraits' by Hiroh Kitai and folded them together. These two photocopies led to Marwood's third neckwear collection "Split Screen".

"Split Screen" will launch on Thursday in Paris at b Store's Six Showroom in Galerie Joseph on Rue de Froissart.
Email becky@marwoodlondon.co.uk to make an appointment.

b Store's selection of Marwood ties...

We popped in to see the lovely Kuni at b Store last week and handed over some new stock (not pictured). We had a nose around and took some snaps of Marwood in store... our first and favourite home of all. Looking forward to seeing the bStore crew all set up in their new store on Kingly Street as of today.

Marwood Studio

We showed some visitors the Marwood collection today in our Dalston studio. The studio is not really equipped to be a showroom but it scrubbed up pretty well.
This last photo shows a nice glimpse of the lovely shot taken by Stefan Heinrichs and styled by David St John-James in the latest issue of PORT magazine.

Gerhard Richter Inspiration

Most inspiring exhibition we have seen in London for a long time. Currently showing at the TATE. Wonderful.
Seeing Richter's painting (above) of a stormy horizon made us think of Jasper Clarke's series 'New Horizons' which we are lucky to own a print of (below). Wishing him luck for this week as he is a finalist in the Taylor Wessing Photgraphic Portrait Prize 2011. Fingers crossed for you!
