Just a few days till hanging begins for my exhibition at The Queen’s Hall. Prints are printed, dresses are being sewn, models booked, almost there…

I couldn’t believe it when I got an email last week from Nicola More saying that Nicky Evans (Shane Maguire) and Ciaron Griffiths (Micky Maguire) were on set for filming Shameless and the guys were going to have their photos taken for my show! Here is one of the shots of Shane. Pop along to my launch night to see the rest of the shoot and some more of my work.

I have been working round the clock these last few weeks, printing, framing, having hectic meetings involving the lovely Deanna Mclauchlan (fashion designer), my 9 month old daughter Alaida and her lovely Nana! - Not the usual mix at a meeting to plan a collection of one off dresses, but good fun! This is all in preperation for my vey first solo exhibition which will be held this summer at The Queen’s Hall.

Along with the four illustrations created specially for The Queen’s Hall, the exhibition will feature a wide range of my work to date, including t-shirts seen on Channel 4’s award winning shows Peep Show and Shameless; creations for the Italian design house Friulprint (used by fashion houses such as Vivienne Westwood and featured in Elle magazine and Collezioni Trends); original sketches and fashion garments made in collaboration with up and coming young Scottish designer Deanna Mclauchlan.

I am proud to announce the opening night for the show will be Friday 30th July at The Queen’s Hall on Clerk St, Edinburgh. From 6.30 - 8pm you can come along and get involved in the interactive art wall known as the Scribble Wall, listen to the live Scribble DJs and have a little drink while you check out the ecclectic mix of fashion, illustration, prints and photography that is my work to date.

Big thanks to Stuart Cosgrove and Nicola More at Channel 4, Andy Catlin at The Queen’s Hall, Calum at Giclee Uk and the talented artists and DJs from Scribble!

Hope to see you there!

Launch party!

The Earphones design that I did for streetwear label SP:UK a few years back has been one of their best sellers at festivals, online and in shops around the UK.

Now, after several reprints and new colourways (I’m loving the new baby blue on chocolate men’s tee below) stocks are running out fast!

Get your original Carlene Edwards Earphones tee here before its too late! You could be extra organised and get a few in for Christmas prezzies! There are even some good bargains to be had in the Fluro Yellow, Peacock Blue and Choc-Grey colours.

And if you like this then you can get more original Carlene Edwards tees and goodies here.

Happy shopping!

I just received this photo of Ciaran Griffiths, better known to most of us as Mickey Maguire, from Shameless wearing my Flock of Dancers T-shirt!

The Maguire brothers have worn three of my You On Earth tees on the show over the last couple of series. It’s great to see my designs on TV!

P.s. If anyone knows how to save stills from a DVD please help me, I’d love to get some action shots from the show up on here! Thanks!
