We were given a one day project for the RSA to create stamps that celebrate the influence of British fashion in a visually exciting way that is a joy to use on post.
The awards of winning this contest are immense, £5000 cash awards, a £2500 internship at Lewis Moberly and/or Pentagram for 12 weeks. My idea was to iconise british stars that always wear dark glasses that have become so fashionable across the world recently. These iconic figures include Gok Wan, Vic Reeves, Ronnie Corbett and Alan Carr.
They didn't make them famous but they pull them off so well (and have done for years) and they are British!
These are a first draft, theses more to come!!!
