A dip into the past, and more forward thinking

I have decided to show my final pieces from my foundation course on here. The concept for the photos was to meant to look like paparazzi shots to continue with the magazine style theme. In total, I made; a pair of jeans, a dress, a coat, two tops, a skirt and two scarves. (the leggings and cardigan are just for styling! :)

So that was that. Im still working on my collection for Yeah magazine, i have decided on a title for the collection and although i have worked out 2 or 3 wikid designs, i need to research more into 1940's housewives. Shouldnt be too long until i have all the designs worked out and i can start pattern cutting and fabric buying. Post the illustrations once i have them all figured out.

Now that all the work is done...

I have finally finished my art foundation course. Its good to be free.
However, I feel as though continuing with the blog could be something quite fun.
It now does not relate to 'a week in the wardrobe of...'. It is now just an on-line diary of my work, a continuous evaluation if you will.
Anyone who went to see the exhibition at Alton College, thank you!

So, back to the future, I am about to start working on a collection to be featured in YEAH mag (http://www.yeah-magazine.com) The theme for the issue is Rebellion, sounds simple enough...

The contents of my wardrobe

I decided its only fair to post a glimps of my wardrobe. I've selected my favorite items from clothes to bags to shoes, pluss my muff (i mean my rabbit fur hand warmer)

This is one of my favortie garments, i can wear it day or night and the chiffon fabric allows makes it easy.






The Fur coat. A staple garment in many a female wardrobe.
This is mine, a little tatty but well loved and not real. However i feel next winter may see the entrance of a real fox fur in my wardrobe.


Leather Jacket?
so usefull and easy to wear, i have acquired 3, and every season i see another one that i would like to add to my collection.













The Oversized blazer, the good fitting jeans and the cocktail dress!

All three items co-ordinate well, and simple accesories can be used for all looks

A basic collection of accesories can be utilised with every garment

.



The accessories!


Black, comfy sky scrapers. Can be worn with almost anything. The bertter the make the more comfortable, so its worth spending that little bit extra on a good pair of high heels.







A Muff, white rabbit fur, great in winter but not very practical, looks amazing. I got this in Beyond Retro, Brick lane an absolute bargin at £12




























The generic black bag, good size for day to day use, agian goes with anything.

College days

The sun is shining the weather is good

The best way to publish different styles is to photograph a variety of different people! I photographed my class and being from an art course the style of each person is quite unique to them.
