Life can often be too serious. Especially on a Monday… So we hope we can lighten up your day with a little reflection on the dating scene. Should that not do it for you, retail therapy would be our second suggestion.

Notes from the Darkside
20th October 2011Last year my wife reorganized my filing system..I’ve been screwed ever since! She has the ability to file alphabetically, sub-sect and put the post into Venn diagrams. I put it all into a box and open three months later. Based on this information I believe that women really do run the world and that us men are mere stunned bystanders, who were given the useless ability of being able to play tennis and rugby. Why do you think men keep screwing up the economy over and over and over again?
Arctic exploration comes to Primrose Hill
2nd December 2010It’s been a while and the last time we posted a blog it was a balmy 19C and we were sunning ourselves on deck chairs, handwoven from organic, naturally grown, indigenous banana twigs from the Mentawai Islands. Not any more no ho ho…as I cast my rheumy eyes toward the freshly polished front door of Studio 8, I can report that it is an icy Siberian scene of wintry snow and frigid winds. Fear not my hardy comrades…for although you have not heard from us for a while, we have been hard at work.

A serious taste for watches
28th August 2010I have always had a serious love for quality watches. It comes from having a father who was a deep sea diver and growing up admiring the functionality of his timepieces as well as their beauty. And knowing that they could handle the depths he worked at – sometimes 600ft. When I was really young he had a watch called the Continue reading…
Marithe Francois Girbaud Autumn Winter
15th August 2010We have stocked Marithe for about 5 years now and decided during last season that we wanted to get a new take on this successful brand. So during the last appointment we tried to see it with ‘new eyes’ again, stripping it right back, going for a much cleaner look without all the bells, strings and whistles! The new delivery has arrived and it’s really fantastic. We selected only the really standout pieces. Girbaud is a massive collection and can quite overwhelming to buy

14th August 2010Rick Owens Lilies collection comes to www.studio8shop.com. We are excited about developing a relationship with the Rick Owens brand, as this subversive designer fits so well into our vision of dark, indulgent and minimalist deconstruction.Here is small preview of the coming pieces.

Shunt
20th March 2010
I recently went to see a show by the theatre company Shunt of which my friend Dave is one of the directors. I loved some of the lighting they used in the play and so decided to do a little experimenting of my own during our last product shoot…
Acne
17th March 2010
This season we are excited to be representing Acne in our stores. This cult Swedish label is really going places. We often try to put our finger on where we think it sits in the market, but it seems to have its own identity: sexy, punk, chic.
