Anu graduated from London Central Saint Martins Colllege prestigious MA fashion course in 2004. Since graduation she has been working as a free lance fashion designer. The exhibition gives a sneak preview to her work process for the 2011 spring -summer collection that she will show during the September London Fashion Week under the label anu sama rüütel. In the exhibition there are hand drawn digital fabric prints, illustrations, sketches and a small pre-collection- that will be a starting point to the main collection. Anu says about her exhibition: “For me the most interesting part of a designers work is what the wider audience does not usually see - the inspiration, the research, drapes, toiles and sketches. Since my graduation from CSM I have been looking for a different way of working in fashion - and I think I have found it. That’s why I finally have decided to come out with my own label this autumn.“ 10 Gales is an exciting new gallery space that opened in the end of 2009. It’s just seconds from Bethnal Green tube, off the Bethnal Green Road, in a refurbished railway arch. It has been hosting many exhibitions, from fine art to fashion projects. Exhibition is supported by Estonian Embassy in London and A Le Coq drink company. anu sama rüütel, PR Riti Kallas: info@samaruutel.com 10 Gales Gallery Arch 10, Gales Gardens, E2 0EJ London Phone: 0207 729 8416 , Email: info@10gales.co.uk Open: Tue- Sat 12-19, Sun 12-18 HOW TO GET THERE 10 Gales Gallery is situated in railway arches, off Bethnal Green Road, seconds from Bethnal Green tube station.
