I have had serial trips to London since the being of uni. I have sourced fabric and visit the V&A to see the fashion V sport exhibition. I have also help out as a dresser for on/offs London fashion week on the 22nd-24th of Feb. 09 for A/W collections.

When I visited London to source fabric I visited places like the Cloth House, Soho Silks, Textile King. My group job was to source natural fabrics like wool, cotton, cashier. The places we visited did not come cheep. The fabrics were being priced at around £50 a meter in not higher. After we had sources a range of natural fabrics we meet my uncle Darren when he showed us round Savil row. We stop off at Edes & Ravenscroft. Edes & Ravenscroft where founded in 1689 and are know for there robe making for the royal, parliament, and court and hold three Royal warrants for robe makers. They also make the graduation robes as well as men's suits tailored for formal and business wear. We were able to see first hand a suite being cut out and what will happen next. We could see that in the end there end up on the shop floor where costumes will come in to the store and will have the suite then tailored to fit them.
