With only 3 days to go until Lee Paton’s (Twitter – @Lee_Paton) AW 2012 / 13 show, we were invited into his studio for an exclusive sneak peek of the collection. Never to disappoint we found Lee and his team hard at work putting the finishing touches to beautiful leather straps, engraving antique horns, and embellishing with some rather fabulous beads and embroidery.
Of course, with our love for taxidermy our favorite pieces will be those with a little animal magic. Although we cant say too much yet, here are a couple of sneak peeks of the team at work on a white pigeon.
Lee’s much anticipated show is on Thursday the 29th March 2012, and is inspired by the centenary of Captain Scott’s legendary, but ill-fated expedition to the South Pole. With Hendrick’s Gin (Twitter – @HendricksGinUK) already crafting some new cocktails in honour of the show, and Patrick Wolf (Twitter – @_Patrick_Wolf) performing on the night with his string quartet, this is going to be one not to miss. To Lee and Captain Scott we salute you and your endeavours.
