Blown away

The Press day at Blow was like walking in to a psychedelic fairytale. If you are looking for a knitted cupcake jumper (Fam Irvoll) crystal shoulder pads (Dean Sidaway) or a peeled banana gag (Piers Atkinson) you are at the right place! Blow is without doubt on of the most exiting press offices in London and a great platform for up and coming designers. Their friendly team are always helpful and full of knowledge about their clients. Look out for Iris Van Herpen Asger Juel Larsen and Lina Osterman
