SQUIDLONDON IS 1 TODAY!!

This time last year we were sat in the London College of Fashion Canteen (the campus behind Bond St Tube) and decided 'YES' we will ring right here and now and registered our business at Companies House!

It's hard to believe that was a year ago. Part of us feels like it was only yesterday and another part of us feels like it was a life time ago...!

In the past 12 months among many things we have designed and developed a website, co-designed the costumes for the Beijing to London Olympic closing ceremony, launched our trial collection and subsequently our second collection. We have a wonderful stockist in Carnaby Street 'Beyond the Valley'. We were commissioned to design and produce a collection of 600 umbrellas for TATE. We are proudly exhibiting our collection at Art Basel and have our third collection on the way!

However the most important thing is that none of this could have happened if it was not for some extremely amazing people. To name them all would probably take us at least two days! There are so many people who in one way or another have helped us with; bashing out ideas, putting together proposal contracts, making our ideas reality and advising us! We wish to say a BIG THANK-YOU!!

So the next 12 months...keep watching as things can only get better.....!
