My 2015 Garsington Opera's Scarf Series

“It has been wonderful for me to hear how much each series I have designed has been loved over the last three years. Right from the initial drawings during rehearsals, through to the packaging, I try to create something that is unique to Garsington.

This years  "Vixen Stole", "Sing" Ribbon Scarf and "Fidelio" mens evening scarf have all been created using my Garsington sketch books done during last years rehearsals. I have specially designed and produced the  "Venice Stole" for the Opera's production of "Death In Venice" Have a look at some of the sketches in the drawing section.

The photo shoot at Wormsley is today and I will upload the pics as soon as I can.
