COFA Talks Online: Simon Waterfall's Social Suicide

These days Simon Waterfall is making suits. And he's giving you a discount to own one. In fact, whatever the temperature is in London is the exact percentage off that you will get on one of his suits.

Simon Waterfall was a former Creative Director and Founding Partner of Poke, a leading interactive design company, but now runs his own fashion label called Social Suicide.

Simon speaks about how he got to where he is today, and the importance of applying a cross-disciplinary approach in arriving at cohesive design solutions, whether that solution is a website or a jacket.

In discussing his creative thinking behind his label, Simon offers us a glimpse of what design really is - simply, a bridge that unifies different means of communication about an idea.
