BODEN PRESS DAY AW13

For those of you who don't already know, I work for a company called Boden, and last month was our AW13 press day. Although I don't actually work in the PR department, due to my creative role I do get to help with the preparation and set up of the London events, which is always super exciting!

Our senior stylist comes up with the concepts and this season she felt inspired by the contrast between "old and new", (very fitting for the autumn range which is an eclectic mix of heritage and modern). At the event therefore, there was a cool combination of old, knackered furniture alongside more modern, chic pieces; in some instances the older bits had been upcyclyed with colourful paint or perspex, which we had made especially for the event. There was also a miss-match of "old and new" pictures on the wall and a neon sign set against a backdrop of vintage floral wallpaper.... 

I took loads of photographs, as I wanted to share them with my colleagues, but I didn't want to bore you with them all so here are just a few of my favourites. I would also like to add that my very talented friend, and soon to be housemate, Louise, knitted some beautiful bits for the event, please head over to her facebook page to check out her work! Also, I know I haven't shown much Boden product here, but their autumn range will be live soon and they have some really great pieces that I can't wait to get my hands on, so keep an eye on their website!
