“Ah! 1984…I was an interior design student at Manchester Polytechnic and met Steve & Caroline just after they had established Geese on BPF. Steve agreed to be my ‘client’ as I wanted to use the burgeoning fashion shop as the basis for my final year interior design scheme. We developed a brand for the shop including repurposed galvanised waste bins as changing cubicles and local authority supplied concrete drain sections as a table base. Very post apocalyptic! But a trend that was apparent in London at the time. Always the entrepreneur, Steve would let me have the occasional piece of clothing at a reduced price if I displayed my work, which included the GEESE name in the Poly to promote it to students. Seemed to work! I got to know Steve quite well and often spent time with him at the Hacienda, Corbieres, or The Boardwalk amongst other venues now gone! I completed my MA at the Poly and have been working in interior design since. Hi to Steve if you see this. Still have the red duf”
