On centre stage, with the exquisite Lakshmi model extraordinaire- who wafted elegantly in a Poiret-inspired Sheherazade silk velvet manteau , a Londoner medical graduate who hails from Trinidad Tobago..hows that!!
I was invited to display and give a speech about my work at the newly-renovated Dominion Theatre in London during Design week including a 5 million pound refurbishment in the previous Art Deco style that coincided with the TEXERE scarf show..It was a fund raiser for TEXERE,the education branch of the ETN and a promotion for CAMAC steered by Caroline Mc Namara, including a display by design students and awards for wallpaper prints, including award winning work form australian students from Melbourne and work by Virginia Harrison..very impressive for the Australian contingent!
A moment of glory in London..at the Dominion Theatre on the corner Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road where We Will Rock You has been playing for 10 years and rehearsals for Evita were in progress..left you can see me speaking while the theatre manager is literally propping up the video screen due to technical problems and goes to prove the show must go on..
