Starting off today for an unusual topic for a fashion blog, but bear with me! The Grand Designs Live Show is taking place between the 5th and 13th of May at the Excel centre and will feature everything from builders to decorators and everything in-between. The reason I blog this is because LOLO may be in the unique position of having a studio built! This is a great opportunity for any business and will allow the label to grow and to have a space that works perfectly for the brand. Although plans are only at the starting stages the plans will include an open plan studio with lots of cutting tables and nature light pouring through large windows. Plenty of storage space will keep the place looking tidy and help us turn around samples quickly. More machines will be introduced to assist with sample making, including a knitting machine for the second half of the company. Upstairs a mezzanine floor will provide some space for photo shoots, digital editing studios with Apple Macs and the design studio where meetings will take place next to the inspiration wall.
This opportunity may of course be refused by planning, but this studio will form a wind off a dream home where business and home is kept separate but the entertaining areas are shared. This will enable business meetings, client fittings and dinner parties. How exciting!
Well, as a starting point I have lots of brochure, and magazine cuttings of idea of how this could look, plus a really cool video about a life full of glass. Please note the fashion studio at the end- AMAZING!
