CATH KIDSTON - spring summer 2013 press show preview

the cath kidston spring summer 2013 press show took place last week in london. their new season prints were displayed in a gallery style space and featured everything from camping accessories to kitchenware. i was lucky enough to attend their show for the first time and managed to get some snapshots to share with you. we begin with kitchen and laundry where two of the key prints were this cheerful yellow kitchen design, and a colourful roses and squares pattern.
