In the world of global fashion education Priska is certainly stamping her authority and produced a show that was tight, unique and of good quality with an impressive invited guest list.

We were approached by Michael Ross whom I met whilst doing the Gumball a few years back and he asked us to be the first artist to consider helping produce something for his Art Sail Charity in the summer to co-incide with the Olympics. It started at that point only with three coillaborators now it has grown to a flotilla including Eine Julian Opie and Goldie plus more. Please read the following article:

The London 2012 Olympics marks the final year of The Star as a competitive class in the Summer Games.

LONDON - Friday 10th August 2012 - An Olympic 'Fine Art on Sail' - was hoisted on an Olympic Star class yacht at 3:15pm yesterday near Tower Bridge, leaving from South Dock Marina, Canary Wharf and skippered by John Gimson and Michael Ross.

The sail was used by Olympics Silver Medal winners Iain Percy and Andrew (Bart) Simpson as part of their training for the Games in Weymouth. It carries the identification number "8371" which is the number used by the sailors at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and their World Title winning races at the Championships in Rio. In addition, the Gold star on the sail indicates that it is from a World Championship winning team.

The sail is part of a charity project and will raise money for the Royal Yacht Association's "Sail for Gold" fund, the RYA's Sailability Trust, and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
