Derek Lawlor
It’s funny how you randomly come accross things when you’re browsing around the net, I somehow ended up here: http://www.quocvo.nl (amazing photography work) and found the picture below.

Although late, this post is probably well timed as she will be showing her collection at the Brighton Frocks Emporium 22nd to [...]
