Supermarket Sarah Presents: TRAID remade Spring Summer 2013

Sarah — Tue, 14 May 2013 16:00:30 +0000

I am very excited to present TRAID Remade’s Super Spring Summer collection 2013! The windows and wall are up in the Dalston store now! So do come see!

106 -108 Kingsland Road

London E8 2NS

I love the stories behind all the vintage clothes that TRAID sell and have long been a fan of their stores both in London and when they had a store in Brighton, which is where I went to University.

Clare Farrell’s latest collection ‘REMADE’ is as you’d expect all made from recycled clothes.

Clare tie dyes, dip dyes, cuts and customises clothes which are no longer wanted and brings them back to life. I’m loving her mix and match Leggings and Bum bags! It was amazing working with Clare, her energy shines into the clothes she makes.

Do check out Clare’s summer delights in store, and soon online and on Supermarket Sarah.com

BIG THANKS to team TR who were so open and fun to work with!

Fashion Designer herself Claire Farrell,

TRAID TEAM: Leigh McAlea, Lyla Patel Reynolds,

The amazing prop designer Lizzie King and Louise Mulahy

all whom made my cling filmed card board box wall dream extravaganza a reality!

Supermarket Sarah/ TRAID wall @London College of Communication

Sarah — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:08:44 +0000

Thank you LCC for a super Green Week 2013! I was invited back this year to create a wall for TRAID at London College of Communication.

TRAID wanted to show the process of how their clothes start from unwanted items, get sorted in sorting depots and are then up cycled by their designers and sold in their stores for added value, helping to reduce landfill and develop sustainable livelihoods all over the world.

I interpreted this as TRAID MAKE UNHAPPY CLOTHES HAPPY!

so Sophie Abboud, a student from London College of Fashion helped me create a WONDER WALL of clothes which started sad and limp and then gradually became brightly coloured and dancing! we dotted the wall with some photos of the process and showed flying bird scissors swoop in to do the up-cycling to make sense of it all.

There was all sorts going on through out the day and Traid and Patrice John-Baptiste from Open Wardrobe had a great workshop going on customising clothes.

Tea at Kirstie’s :)

Popped by Kirstie Allsopp’s today to chat about her wall for Supermarket Sarah which was very exciting! Loving her bookshelf wall which revolves partly into her bedroom. What a fab idea! She has some super collections which she and her partner Ben have been collecting. An amazing tortoise shell hangs in a bathroom, beautiful framed butterflies and I spotted a brilliant vintage gym horse which works so well for the kids bedroom. Kirstie is all about championing vintage and up-cycling so I can’t wait for the wall up date which is coming soon: Watch this space!

Supermarket Sarah Book Signing @Selfridges!

Sarah — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 15:49:35 +0000

Thank you Selfridges and WHSMITH for inviting me to do a book signing last week! My slot was after David Walliams which rather fun!

My Supermarket red strawberry boxes came with me for displaying the books which looked like gleaming groceries. Customers were at first a little miffed but quickly started chomping on the sweets and chatting. It felt rather strange yet brilliant to be back at Selfridges with my wall in the shape of a book this time! Again, something which I would never have believed would happen if someone had of told me a year ago. It was great to see Leah Vaughan again from the Selfridges VM team who came by to get her copy.

The book has now been Damon Albarn and Kirstie Allsopp approved!

I hope Yoko Ono likes her copy!

You can get yours in all good bookstores!! It’s “Unputdownable” according to Selfridges marketing display team at WHSMTH!

You can get it at WHMITH, Waterstones, Barnes and Noble, Art words, Donlon books and of course Amazon.

Sarah — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:20:40 +0000

Thanks Takako, Mathew and Aska Copeland for a super wall up shopping party at your lovely Family Tree Shop on Exmouth Market! So many beautiful things!

check out their wall on Supermarket Sarah or pop along to their store. Exmouth Market is such a great summer street!

SAKURA TIME! & THANKS ELLE JAPAN!

Sarah — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 10:59:27 +0000

It’s that magical time of year in Japan right now! Cherry Blossoms or ‘Sakura’ are in full bloom. This image was sent to me by the lovely Satoshi Hirano.

and THANKS ELLE Girl JAPAN! for my feature

Fashion week -Tokyo style!

Sarah — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:55:32 +0000

I love the colours and shapes of Japanese fashion. Kusama dots, Lolita punk, indigo denims … modern twists of capes and kimonos let you fly around the city. Extremes are really extremes and modernity rubs shoulders with the past in a wonderfully jarring way… here are some of my fashion highlights from Japan:

Flea market Japan:

HARAJUKU girls:

Omotosando style:

The super talented Chisa and her splashed shoes by the Sky Tree near her studio

The beautiful Ai in her vintage jacket at the flea market!

The Hostess with the absolute mostest in Naka Meguro’s best kept secret restaurant. (All good restaurants are secrets in Japan behind hidden sliding door)

Seiko -vintage store owner in the super cool Daikanyama-cho district

Hiroyo button style

Hiroyo loves buttons and 45rpm which is great japanese fashion store!
