I've been holding onto these images since the ASOS Ltd 100 judging day and been ITCHING to post about the overall winner of the ASOS Ltd 100 competition.  So, one hundred pieces by London College of Fashion students were selected to go on sale on 3rd July on ASOS with all profits going back to the students, but there's also an overall winner, menswear and womenswear winner who each get design placements at ASOS.  Last night was the unveilling of ASOS Ltd 100 and awards party and I presented the womenswear winner and eventual overall winner with her 'thread spool' wreath… 

The first piece that caught my eye as soon as I started scanning the rails in the judging room was Tian's jacket…. her beautiful digital printing had an almost hypnotic effect that stayed with me throughout the judging session.  It was like escaping into another world when looking at them and upon close inspection, you can see the manipulations of landscape photographs that Tian had done, the sort of visions you'd get if you scrunched up your eyes in the sun.  In addition, she also has an appreciation for shape which is rare when dealing with such a print focused collection… 

As the judges had some deliberations, we asked Tian to bring a few more of her pieces in and fortunately I got to discover more of her work than just the solitary piece… these aren't going into the ASOS Ltd 100 collection but it does make me excited to find out more about her work especially since I found out she actually has just picked up a London stockists (will find out deets later…).  

These sky print trousers are going to be going online along with the jacket (all I know is that the jacket is priced at ~£200…).  I'll be posting more of the ASOS Ltd 100 pieces as there's tons of pieces which I'm excited about and maybe some of you can be prepared to get click happy on 3rd July (last year, all 100 pieces were snapped up in two minutes flat…) but this post is just for Tian for making pieces that make the eyes go all saucer-shaped…
