Something Old Something New

With the eyes of the world transfixed on London with less than twenty-four hours away from the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Royal Fever has firmly turned into Royal hysteria on the streets of the city and through the lenses of the teams of international media that is being broadcast around the globe. To commemorate the event, which is said to mark the beginning of a new generation for the British Monarchy, I have designed my very own something old into something new in tribute to the newlyweds. Inspired by British youth culture, Bigger Better has been exhibited in the luxurious environment of London's Selfridges to the urban elements of Sheffield, and has now been given the Royal touch with the names of 'William' and 'Catherine' entwined in Creole formation set in red, white and blue splendour of majestic purple.
