NEWS FROM DRESSED TO KILT
New York's Scotland Week 2009 has hosted another fantastic display of the best of Scottish fashion, in the company of Sir Sean and Lady Connery.
Joey's edgy urban garments were modelled by Ed Westwick, who stars as Chuck Bass in the hit TV series "Gossip Girl". Also strutting Joey's stuff was Scotland's own Leon Jackson, winner of 2007's X Factor.
Judging by these photos, a great time was had by all!

Joey D at Koldinghus in Denmark
Material Considerations - Sustainable Fashion at Koldinghus7th May - 6th September 2009Danish visitors to this site (and indeed, visitors to Denmark!) will be interested to know that an outfit by Joey will be on display at the Koldinghus Museum from May to September, as part of their Sustainable Fashion exhibition.
"Material Considerations" shows how modern couture like Joey D's springs from recycled items and things that many people discard as trash - the latter creating huge issues with regard to landfill and climate change amongst other things. This is an informative exhibition about sustainability in the fashion industry.
This will be the main exhibition held at Koldinghus in 2009 and it is timely, as the UN's climate change conference will be hosted by Copenhagen during the summer. The display is also in conjunction with the Crafts and Design Biennale.
