As a quick sidenote, everyone always goes on about how awesome the food is in France, and in terms of restaurants they’re usually right (I had some great foie gras on fig bread at a restaurant this evening),but their fruit and veg in the supermarkets is utterly atrocious, its usually gone rotten a day or two after you’ve bought it.

One thing which I can’t see going rotten is the freshness of designs from LaFraise (SEGUE ALERT!!!). It’s still a big shame that they don’t deliver their latest designs to the US, but I guess this is European payback for having to pay customs charges when we import goods from America.

Click through for the gallery (you may have noticed that’s a new thing I’m trying).

Allmightys are rapidly turning into my favourite European design competition, they’ve got the quality, the community, the artists, and I just get a generally good feeling about them. Their latest themed competition was based around patterns. As you can probably tell from the gallery above, the winners were a pretty diverse bunch, branching off from what I’d consider a pattern by a few degrees, but still creating clever designs that are undeniably patterns. My pick ‘o the bunch is actually the Gold Prize winner of the contest, Slum, a great colourway and beautifully illustrated, bravo, darruda!
