Egg window at Dover Street Market

What fun it was doing the DSM window just in time for Fashion week. After having the Bryony collection on display at Comme des Garcons Tokyo Trading Museum we thought it was time it came back home. The window was a great opportunity to show these amazing pieces to London. If you get a chance head on over its well worth it, then head up to the fouth floor to see the egg collection and have some yummy cake.



'Clothes Of The Land: Timeless Fashion', featuring the fascinating collection of homespun peasant clothing from 18th and early 19th century France, painstakingly amassed over many years by the famous English costume designer and textile expert, Bryony Thomasson.

Bryony was born in December 1933 and begun her career in textiles in the 1950s when she first took a stall in Portobello Road. She travelled widely in France and all over the world collecting textiles and clothes, and was a true adventurer as well as having a wonderful eye for colour, textiles and form.

Thanks for the loan of the collection to egg, London.
