Yesterday mum and I went to see Bending the Line - an exhibition by the 62 Group of textile artists at the Collins Gallery in Glasgow. After visiting the practically empty Gallery of Modern Art (sign of the Times?), we were berating the end of Borders bookshop, which was such a central hub to Glasgow and somewhere to browse or have a coffee without an agenda - when we passed their new windows...
the space has been taken over by the All Saints clothing chain - but they have done an amazing window display with these old sewing machines which takes up several large windows right round the building.
The reflections prohibited any really good shots of the old graphics, but really worth bypassing if you are window shopping! I wondered where they had got all the machines from, and although they probably came from salvage - for some reason it made me think of sweat shops in India or the east where people still work on machines like these.
Hi C, I saw this shop too and got all excitied thinking it would be some kind of amazing crafty shop, but felt out of my fashion depth (especially post baby) when I went inside. I got all stressed trying to get the buggy through the clothes then just about choked when I saw the price of a top I picked up! Great window, pity about the inside!
Cant believe I havent seen you for so long, catch up soon. L x
