Daniel Fletcher is one of the most prominent young designers around. This shoot was to photograph Daniel in his own flat with the patchwork patterns he worked on during lockdown. Daniel created patchwork clothes and blankets, using the offcuts from his other design. He even sent the material out to people with instructions of how to make to make it themselves if that’s what they wanted to do.
Such a nice guy and such a talent!

Last time I worked with Steve and Nick Tidball was in Hampstead heath and they had just released a hoodie where you could zip up the front and enjoy total privacy. Great for when traveling and you just want to be left alone. This time the twins, founders and directors of Vollebak, are back with the Full Metal Jacket. A jacket made of 11km of copper and used as a disease repellant jacket. Yes - copper has the ability to sterilise and was used to do exactly that in ancient civilisation. Apart from copper’s ability to kill bacteria it also has the more well known characteristics of conducting heat and electricity. These guys are taking aim at space travel and a futuristic world when they make this jacket. ‘Ah - but you have to walk like an armoured Roman soldier from the iron age’ - I hear you say?! Well - no. It’s actually flexible and totally user friendly. Yes - it does have a ‘comforting hug’ like weight to it - but it is 100% practical as well as soft, malleable, highly waterproof, windproof and breathable. What’s not to like?
