With an open heart and mind I set off for one of my favourite London destinations last week, the Fashion and Textile Museum, to see the exhibition which gives this post its name. FTM has staged another top quality exhibition drawing on company archives as well as works by numerous collaborators of this successful and influential designer. I said that I went with an open heart and mind, because I’m not sure that I like her work. I’m not normally one to ciriticise and I can usually find something to enjoy and what’s not to enjoy? I love textiles, colours and patterns, surely I’m half way there to enjoying this exhibition? Perhaps it is because I grew up in the 1970s surrounded by these bold repeat patterns in oranges, greens, mustards and pinks; from flower stickers on the toilet seat to patterns on saucepans and flowing party dresses – the latter with the addition of ric rac – but I just couldn’t feel the ‘joy and happiness’ (Kiely, p.13) of the brand.

A retro red post box like ours in Wales has had to be decomissioned after health and safety concerns were raised by postal workers following a tree beside the post box growing to the point where it enveloped and partially uprooted it.
To date, no trees have been found growing inside the library, so the Mood Post Box should be in good working order for years to come. If you do happen to spot a tree punching its way through the concrete floor, and we have somehow missed it, please alert a member of staff.
Just to give you a little (very) advance warning, the Library will be closed on Saturday 18 August 2018. This means the Library will close as usual at midnight on Friday 17 August and re-open at 8am on Monday 19 August.
All our electronic resources and 24/7 out-of-hours telephone and online chat support will be available during this time. We will reply to any emails on our return (within 48 hours where possible, often sooner unless we have a lot to get through!).
