The Circle Skirt from Rwanda

Chris Too Much, our dear comedian friend.
We call him Too Much, if you meet him, you'll know why.
He brought me a skirt all the way from Rwanda.
Beautiful pattern.

I love the cut.
It is a circle skirt.
It gives a 1950s look.

I wore it on a number of occasions including my sister in law pre-wedding party.
All the ladies at the event wore some african print clothes and look absolutely amazing.

I also lend it to my friend, Zosia, a designer who has the company Only Worn to try on,
She paired it with black tights and red boots with a dark cardigan for a dinner we had with my good friend Rose from the Crop Club
She made a pattern out of it for skirts in the same style I've needed at the time.
I was wearing a lot of african print circle skirt in that particular period.
One of my colleagues suggested I should make a business out of Circle Skirt

Here it is.

The business,

My ebay shop and this skirt is on sale and more!

Those two questions are set to gauge both interlocutors' status. It is quite sad, the longer the title and list of places you go to, the more you appear awesome. Truth to be told, I love working from home and have a family to come back to after a long day making decisions. In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?' At least, you will connect mo...

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?

Projects

Growing up in the performing arts sectors, I have seen theatre professionals shipping projects and plays every year, touring them and closing them for good. What I liked the most while observing the process were the conversations, the questions they asked to one another and the reflection. With One Question Comes A Great Story - A Story of Change - A Story of Transformation. Here are some of the questions I asked myself over the years: Why do people consume so much when they know that the rest of the world is in a pitiful state? How can design support What is the role of designers in supporting the transition towards a circular economy? What is the role of local government in supporting citizens in their sustainable journey? What is the role of grassroots communities in supporting people in reducing their carbon footprint? What is the effectiveness of a community-based approach in raising awareness about sexual violence in a set community? What can we do better to raise awareness about...
