Maiden Britain

During LFW, Caroline and Claire briefly touched on our visit to the Maiden Britain show. Well, I was equipped that day with a video camera, and I've finally managed to produce a short movie with footage from the collection as well as a quick interview with designer Ziad Ghanem about his use of royal symbols in the designs, specifically the union jack. The union jack is something that is recurrent in the Maiden Britain collections (maybe because they're about Britishness...ha!), and Ziad makes some really great comments about this theme, my favourite being his personal image of British women painted head to toe in union jacks and Burberry.

But be sure to check out the S/S 08 Masturbazar collection especially.

And as a personal plug--check out Ziad's couture collection as well (I do some modeling for it! hehe) http://www.ziadghanem.co.uk
