This is the First TOPSHOP  capsule collection from 

Fashion East designer Maarten Van Der Horst. 

The high summer seven piece collection 

embodies the Fashion East designer’s core aesthetic of mixing 

textured industrial fabrics with 

graphic prints and bold colours. 

Maarten, a Dutch born London based designer 

incorporates key inspirations from his 

SS12 mainline range into his first 

capsule collection for Topshop; 

heavy jacquard fabric is worked 

into a masculine single breasted jacket, 

high waisted Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt all offer a flattering boxy silhouette.  

These
 pieces alongside two silk button-down dresses feature a statement 
hibiscus flower print in a pallet of tropical blues, greens and burnt 
oranges. 

A tee’s and crop top in hot pink 

and a pair of black cycling shorts 

all in double layered jersey, help 

incorporate the TOPSHOP girl

into this collection.

Maarten graduated with a BA from the 

ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem, Holland. 

He then moved to London for his MA 

at Central Saint Martins. 

Bottlenose dolphins windfarm threat.

Drew Sutton , Nice Director, has been back out on the Scottish waters with Philip Hoare as they addressed the issue of the newly approved windfarm plans in the Moray Firth. Photo by Drew Sutton These waters are home to an array of wildlife, including the "UK's only resident population of bottlenose dolphins" and these 227 proposed turbines will disrupt their way of life since they depend on sonar. Have a read of Philip's article and if you can, pop along to Aquatopia: The imaginary of the ocean deep which opened this weekend at the Nottingham Contemporary and will continue at Tate St Ives in October. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/17/sea-invisible-trash-heap-aquatopia Let us know what you think or even better, get involved with the WDC and exhibitions such as Aquatopia! http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/art/aquatopia

Nana’s Manners, Confident Kids- Kickstart starts 21st June

Nana’s Manners believe in giving children the tools they need to learn to do the basics well. We want to empower kids to become confident and independent in the world around them. Nana’s Manners is the inspiration of Kathryn, a mum of two who taught in Primary Schools for ten years. It was whilst teaching in a Reception class that she realised the widespread difficultly 4-5 year olds had in using a knife and fork effectively and independently. As the cutlery kids need to help them learn this life skill didn’t exist, Kathryn decided she was going to design it herself. Nana’s Manners is launching their patented, ergonomically designed cutlery on Kickstarter on the 21st June. They need to reach their target amount in pledges in 30 days to fund their first production run and bring Nana’s Manners to life. Please visit their website to find out more and support them in getting their cutlery out and into little hands. http://www.nanasmanners.com
