Diehards may recall my minor obsession with the greedy ghosts this time last year when external examining in Singapore. For the past 3 days, I have been sitting in the excellent viewing platform of one of these upper classrooms in the brand new, RSP and Hugh Dutton-designed LASALLE campus, which opened to students on Monday, again poring over MA projects and conducting vivas. Design bliss.

Until, that is, I came across a webcam shot of the SHOWstudio premises in a postgraduate 'Design Process Journal', featuring an unposed shot of this writer! Note to self: what constitutes an informal chat over lunch with your colleagues for some equals 'research' to others...and watch that talking-whilst-you're-eating thing!

Everything fell into clarity when giving a college-wide presentation this afternoon. Switched-on fashion students rocked up with magazines featuring all their favourite SHOWstudio projects and on being informed that they could make their own Viewer Profiles, they politely told me they knew that. Because they already had!
