The process of research can often be long and laborious, sifting through archives and libraries for that essential piece of key data, close-reading of worthy if rather dull books, analysing seemingly illogically organised reports...Sometimes, however, the research chances upon you instead, often in seemingly odd or random instances. In my current research of souvenir clothing and souvenir accessories I chanced upon this dress in the shop window of Joy boutique. The palm tree-print is certainly reminiscent of those Hawaiian shirts your dad might wear, but here elegantly adapted for this summer dress. Since it was a Sunday, the shop was closed (yes, even in 24-hour London shops do close sometimes!), so didn't have the chance to find out the brand/designer. So here begins my occasional series of Research on the Run...
