Styling......

A photographer called Linda Blacker used my Menswear to feature in a photoshoot that she was directing. The photos are amazing and I'm pleased with the out come. It was nice to let someone else be in charge and take control, I was excited to see what the photos looked like.

GRADUATION 2012.

After 3 years I done it. All the hard work paid off and it was a day to remember.

I just need now need someone to give me a chance and give me a job. I get fed up with applying for jobs and people saying I haven't got enough experience but how am I meant to get some if you won't give it to me. I just want someone to give me a chance and overlook my C.V and look at my work.

COS A/W12 LOOKS.

Here are some images from COS's A/W12 collection. I have three words to say about this collection. NEAT/SMART/CLEAN CUT. I love COS for the neat lines and attention to detail with all their garments. I'm always a happy Customer.

SS13

once again Stella has not let me down with her new S/S 13 collection shown yesterday in Paris. The Fabrics used look amazing as well as the colours. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the collection. Some of the fabrics look like organizer with sheer, see through effect on some of the garments and I think that will be the hottest look for Summer 2013.

CRUMPET'S MENSWEAR CRUISE '13 COLLECTION.

I've now been working at Crumpet for over a month now and loving every second of it. I thought I'd blog about their new Menswear collection.

Here’s a sneaky peek at what to expect from Crumept's Menswear cruise ‘13 line which is to be launched next year. Look out for chunky cable knits, camo prints and dip dyes. Menswear is pushing the boundaries with prints and colour so we’ve taken our menswear collection to a whole new level. It’s playful and cool but with basics to apply to any cashmere lover. I can't wait to get my piece of Crumpet.

PORTFOLIO TASTER.

MEDIA VIDEO.

Here is the promtional video that the media students made. It's amazing. WELL DONE GUYS.

PHOTOSHOOT.

I've got the photos back from photoshoot that I had last week of my graduate collection. I'm really pleased with the outcome. The pictures have come out just the way I wanted them to. It's when you see your collection like this you just think of all the hard work that's happened into making the collection. I'm very proud, I now need to get the photos into my portfolio and hope for the best at graduate fashion week.

LAYOUT.

Now that my collection is complete it's now time to focus on my protfolio for graduate fashion week and new designers. I want the layout of my portfolio to be slick and have a minimal feel to it. My main influence is the COS magazine, taking ideas of the layout and reflect the elements of the COS magazine in my page layouts.

VIDEOSHOOT.

Today we had our video shoot for our collections. It's filmed to show our collection on a model and how it would be styled. It's also a chance for people at graduate fashion week and new designers to see our garments on a body as well as a hanger.
It was a huge success and the day went smoothly. The models were great and the make-up and hair team were brilliant.
The film was inspired by a video I took of balenciaga's S/S 2012 collection which was a lookbook video I saw in harrods. We want a front view, side view and back view of each garment and this is the best and simple was of doing this.

Here is the set of were the magic happened.

Here is a quick sneaky picture I took of the models in my collection. I'm so proud, seeing the line-up makes me think of all the hard work that's go into making it happen. Also the styling was just right.

BYE BYE PDP.

Today I handed in my PDP file. It's the last one I'll ever have to do. It's another weight taken off my shoulders and god it feels so good. I now need to focus on my portfolio and getting ready for graduate fashion week and new designers.

COLLECTION COMPLETE.

My collection is complete! YAY! Now it's just finishing things like button holes, buttons and lining. It's feels like a big weight have been lifed of my shoulders but I still have a little way to go until it's all over. I am abit unsure about my outfit 6 (menswear) trousers, if I have enough time i'll make them again, as I don't like the fabric used.

PDP PRESENTATIONS.

Today I have my PDP presentations to the 2nd years, I felt it went well. But it wasn't until after I thought I could have said alot more. 10 mins isn't enough time to talk about everything in your 3rd year. I got as much information needed in the presentation. This is now another thing ticked off my list. YAY.

I've uploaded my promotional image for my collection onto the graduate fashion week blog. This allows people to view my work from all over the country and promotes me as a designer. This also reminds me that I'm not just up against people in my class but arcoss the UK.

MENS SHIRT.

I've started making my menswear palm tree printed shirt. I'm really please with the way it looks in cotton twill. I was abit unsure about using twill because of it being to thick for a shirt but once it's put together I'm liking it more and I would wear this myself. I'm aslo pleased with the scale of print. smiles all round.
