Good evening all!!
Sorry it has been a while since I last blogged on here but have been super busy with taking on my first big order located in Sheffield @ Kuji Shop - http://www.kujishop.co.uk/, will keep you all posted once my whole collection is in the store :) But just delivered my first batch today so hopefully there will be many more to come!! I am very excited and hopefully will get some great pictures with my collection in store, it's going to look great being in a very creative store situated on Ecclesall Road.
So what has been happening at the Asobi House since I last blogged? Well I managed to do a charity event for the NSPCC and successfully donated two of my beautiful Spring/Summer dresses for auction and managed to raise £170 towards helping children in need.

I have been looking forward to the Leeds Fashion Show ever since I found out that I got accepted as one of the designers to showcase my collection on the show, I also was entered for the competition of 'Emerging Designer 2011 - Sponsored by Republic'. I guess this added extra pressure and excitement at the same time :) I was the only designer that was going to showcase 2 collections, women's and men's. Before the show I didn't realise how much and advertising went into it, all the tickets sold out and that's when it came together that this is going to be quite a big show :) I spent most of the time backstage helping my wonderful models dress, when I had a spare moment I did have the chance to sneak-a-peek at the show and it was brilliant!!      The photographer's took some great shots from the show and here's some of my men's clothing on the catwalk................    I hope you have all liked the photos but more from the show are all on my website, please check it out! :) it's also on my facebook page too! The award ceremony took place a couple of days later in Leeds and that's when it was announced that I was the winner for Emerging Designer 2011!!! I was so happy and had to make a speech that probably sounded really silly thinking back to it! haha From that I went to gain work experience by interning at the Republic Head Office in Leeds, this was an amazing experience being able to see how things are done in a much bigger scale!    The girls that organised the show did so well and I will be looking forward to doing it again next year! In the mean time I will be keeping busy and looking for lots of future events that Asobi can attend to :) Must get back to making more clothes for my order though! Keep you all posted of new updates :) Love Asobi xx |
