Been a wee while since my last
blog – back in 2012 - so I feel it’s well time for an update! It’s truly been a roller coaster of a couple
of months ever since I went free-lance back in August. Loads and loads of excitement from day one
as I make diversity the name of my business venture both in design and
products!!

Whilst scarves remain at the
heart of Taisir Gibreel I have also taken on freelance design work with the
House of Bruar http://www.houseofbruar.com to name a few; exploring the development of silk shift dresses using my print designs and
perhaps leather clutch bags - and maybe delving into the world of interior
design……so keep watching this space! Dare I mention that I am even in talks with a couple of galleries in a
move to exhibit art to wear alongside art to hang on walls………early days but how
exhilarating would that be!
I have also been out and about a
fair bit. My first ever visit to the USA
took me to New York in August to exhibit at the New York Now exhibition http://www.nynow.com.

I stayed in East Manhattan and the Trade Fair was in the Javits Centre. I did some serious walking around New York and was enthralled by every sight and experience. The Fair wasn’t bad either! I got some good sales, great contacts and useful potential links and partnerships for the future – can’t wait for next year!!
The Best of Britannia in
September was in the rustic Farmiloe building in Farringdon, where I met up
with Ali from Age of Reason http://www.age-of-reason-studios.com
also a scarf designer, which has led to
a thrilling collaboration on the production of our collections in the UK.
Been amazingly, fantastically, frantically busy working on my website; updating my catalogue - http://issuu.com/taisirgibreel/docs/taisir_gibreel ; developing promotional materials and getting to grips with all the classic
necessities for promoting a business; pulling together a great product to
exhibit at Trade Fairs, Retail Shows and of course online http://www.taisirgibreel.co.uk/shop
and sell, sell, sell! Although I’ve been
busy beyond belief I have also had a lot of fun along the way and was fortunate
to work with and meet lots of incredible people along the way – example the
great team.
Who I worked with on my last
photo shoot where we got some fabulous product shots which can all be seen on
my great new website www.taisirgibreel.co.uk
. Thanks to all of you.
